Quote by Victor Hugo
Blessed be Providence which has given to each his toy: the doll to the child, the child to the woman, the woman to the man, the man to the devil!
Summary
This quote suggests that every person has their own desires or obsessions that bring them happiness or satisfaction. It highlights the idea that Providence (referring to a divine or higher power) has given these "toys" or objects of desire to each individual - such as a doll for a child, a child for a woman, a woman for a man. However, it also acknowledges that some desires or attachments may lead to negative consequences, as it suggests that the man is given to the devil, potentially indicating the destructive nature of human desires.
