Equality does not mean that all plants must grow to the same height - a society of tall grass and dwarf trees, a jostle of conflicting jealousies. It means, in civic terms, an equal outlet for all talents in political terms, that all votes will carry the same weight and in religious terms that all beliefs will enjoy equal rights.
Victor Hugo
Image
To meditate is to labour to think is to act. Folded arms work, closed hands perform, a gaze fixed on heaven is a toil.
Victor Hugo
