I rarely pay attention to chapters - I think they’re one of those things I only notice if they’re done poorly, like sports officiating - but I’m reading a chapter a day of Les Mis this year and the title of the other day’s chapter was “The Dead are in the Right and the Living are Not in the Wrong.” It gave me chills, and the chapter absolutely lived up to the name. It was focused on why the people of Paris didn’t rise up and join the barricades and included the phrase “sometimes the stomach paralyzes the heart” which is currently living in my head rent-free.

“The Atom Fraternizes with the Hurricane” is a Les Miz chapter title that has stuck with me nearly 40 years now.
