Quote by Victor Hugo

Whatever causes night in our souls may leave stars. Cimourdain was full of virtues and truth, but they shine out of a dark background.

Whatever causes night in our souls may leave stars. Cimourda

Summary

This quote suggests that the dark experiences or struggles we go through in life can often lead to the emergence of our inner virtues and strength. Cimourdain, depicted as a character filled with virtues and truth, is likened to a shining star against a dark backdrop. It implies that it is the contrast between the darkness within ourselves and the virtuous qualities we possess that allows our true potential to shine through, just like stars illuminate the night sky. It conveys the idea that adversity can sometimes be a catalyst for personal growth and the development of our noble qualities.
