Reading is good

So you probably wouldn't have guessed, but I'm currently reading the daunting, unabridged, Les Miserables by Victor Hugo. This book is quite possibly the best writing I have ever seen, albeit translated from French so not the true experience, but still it's really good in English as well. Anyway, I came across a passage that was unique and fulfilling enough to post here:

"Nowhere can the mind's eye find anything more dazzling or more obscure than in man; it can focus on nothing more awe-inspiring, more complex, more mysterious, or more infinite. There is one spectacle greater than the sea: That is the sky; there is one spectacle greater than the sky: That is the interior of the soul."

There is more verbal goodness that follows, but too much to contain in one page, not to mention belittle on a website.
