Quotes 

• Cosette : [as she and Valjean witness a convoy of convicts being taken to the penal colonies]  But father... are they... still human?

  Jean Valjean : Sometimes.

• Jean Valjean : So it never ends? After the chains comes the passport.

• Champmathieu : [referring to the police and the court]  They don't know their line of business too good. They don't believe nobody. I tell them I'm old Champmathieu, and they call me a liar. The other fellow says he's Jean Valjean, and they call for a doctor. But a fellow knows who he is don't he? They're a bit dense.

  Le président du jury : [discussing Valjean nearby]  No, justice won't be flouted like this. They've issued a warrant to rearrest the man at all costs.

  Champmathieu : They talking about me? Did they change their minds? If they find another fellow to confuse me with, they might arrest me all over again! I'm leaving.

• Jean Valjean : God is just. It is man... who sometimes... is unjust.
