A Les Mis Quote A Day

This is a place where I will feed and fuel my love of Les Miserables, in my opinion the greatest musical of all time.

I will post a quote from the show every day, sometimes conveying how I feel, sometimes just one I love and often just ones that are swimming through my head.

I may also post pictures on here, the majority of which will be from hipsterlesmiserables.tumblr.com

I own none of these images, and as such take no credit for them. I simply enjoy them, and want you to see them too.

And must I now begin to doubt? Who never doubted all these years…

—Javert, Javert’s Suicide

We need a sign! To rally the people, to call them to arms, and to bring them in line!

—Enjolras, Red and Black

Tomorrow we’ll be far away, tomorrow is the judgment day, tomorrow we’ll discover what our God in heaven has in store.

—Valjean/Javert/Company

I try not to be too opinionated about stuff like this, but if you think Russell Crowe is the best Javert you’ve heard, you’re objectively wrong.

Fun fact from the Les Miserables film!

In order to obtain the gaunt look of Jean Valjean after 19 years of imprisonment, Hugh Jackman followed the advice of his personal trainer and didn’t drink water for 36 hours. This allowed him to lose 10 pounds (4.5 kilograms) from his face and the surface of his skin.

Every word that he says is a dagger in me

—Eponine

Hugh Jackman and Russell Crowe perform “The Confrontation” at a party in New York. Crowe isn’t my favourite Javert (not even in my top 3), but they have a good chemistry together.
