The greatest blunders, like the thickest ropes, are often compounded of a multitude of strands. Take the rope apart, separate it into the small threads that compose it, and you can break them one by one. You think, That is all there was! But twist them all together and you have something tremendous.

If a writer wrote merely for his time, I would have to break my pen and throw it away.
Victor Hugo
Image
The need of the immaterial is the most deeply rooted of all needs. One must have bread but before bread, one must have the ideal.
Victor Hugo
Image
Love is like a tree, it grows of its own accord, it puts down deep roots into our whole being.
Victor Hugo
Image
He who opens a school door, closes a prison.

There are, as we know, powerful and illustrious atheists. At bottom, led back to the truth by their very force, they are not absolutely sure that they are atheists it is with them only a question of definition, and in any case, if they do not believe in God, being great minds, they prove God.
