Image
Do you hear the people sing Lost in the valley of the night? It is the music of a people Who are climbing to the light. For the wretched of the earth There is a flame that never dies. Even the darkest night will end And the sun will rise.
Victor Hugo
Image

Victor Hugo
Image
Human society, the world, and the whole of mankind is to be found in the alphabet.
Victor Hugo
Image
God manifests himself to us in the first degree through the life of the universe, and in the second degree through the thought of man. The second manifestation is not less holy than the first. The first is named Nature, the second is named Art.
Victor Hugo
Image
He who despairs is wrong.
Victor Hugo

Love is the foolishness of men, and the wisdom of God.
Victor Hugo
Image
For true poetry, complete poetry, consists in the harmony of contraries. Hence, it is time to say aloud--and it is here above allthat exceptions prove the rule--that everything that exists in nature exists in art.
Victor Hugo

Thought is the labor of the intellect, reverie is its pleasure.
