Day 15. Favourite quote or part of the book and what it mean to you?

Before him he saw two roads, both equally straight; 
but he did see two; 
and that terrified him - 
he who had never in his life known anything but one straight line.
And, bitter anguish, 
these two roads were contradictory.

This is not really a favorite part of mine, but one of the many parts in the novel that struck me. You can just imagine what's going on in Javert's mind at that time. The confusion, the uncertainty, the mindset, the belief that's been shattered into a thousand pieces.
