ragingbalzac:

“Not being heard is no reason for silence” is such a beautiful quote from Les Mis and it kills me every time that it’s not mentioned in the context of the rebellion but just an old man rambling about how to burry a nun while Jean Valjean isn’t listening at all

What she says: Im fine
What she means: in “bring him home,” Jean Valjean implores God to rescue Marius, keep him safe, and bring him home to Cosette, but in the end, it is Jean Valjean himself who accomplishes this feat, implying that Jean Valjean himself has somehow taken on the form of God. Later in the musical, the ensemble sings, “to love another person is to see the face of God,” meaning apparently the face of Jean Valjean. basically what I’m saying is, you don’t truly love someone until you see Hugh Jackman, crouching in the distance, perpetually in your peripheral vision. He’s not there? You don’t love anyone sorry I don’t make the rules

i stroll into heaven straight chillin and i look around. i know he is here. i must find him. i must ask him the question that has haunted me all my life.

when i finally find him, victor hugo, i walk up and take him roughly by the lapels.

“COMMENT S’APPELLAIENT-ILS, LES AMIS DE L’ABC? DISEZ-MOI MONSIEUR JE VOUS EN PRIE!“ he looks at this screaming lady, baffled. "JE DOIS SAVOIR MONSIEUR HUGO,” i implore.

he sighs gently and pats my hand.

“ils s’appellaient jean.”

“… les tous?”

“les tous, mon enfant.”

“vous etes le pire, monsieur hugo,” i spit bitterly, and let forth a cry that shakes the heavens: “THEY WERE ALL NAMED JEAN”
