Image
Emergencies have always been necessary to progress. It was darkness which produced the lamp. It was fog that produced the compass. It was hunger that drove us to exploration. And it took a depression to teach us the real value of a job.
Victor Hugo
Image
To know, to think, to dream. That is everything.
Victor Hugo

Men are still men. The despot's wickedness Comes of ill teaching, and of power's excess,-- Comes of the purple he from childhood wears, Slaves would be tyrants if the chance were theirs.

From the oyster to the eagle, from the swine to the tiger, all animals are to be found in men and each of them exists in some man, sometimes several at the time. Animals are nothing but the portrayal of our virtues and vices made manifest to our eyes, the visible reflections of our souls. God displays them to us to give us food for thought.
Victor Hugo
Image
There is no vacuum in the human heart. Certain demolitions take place, and it is well that they do, but on condition that they are followed by reconstructions.
Victor Hugo
Image
What is said about men often has as much influence upon their lives, and especially upon their destinies, as what they do.

Animals are nothing but the portrayal of our virtues and vices made manifest to our eyes, the visible reflections of our souls.
Victor Hugo

God in his harmony has equal ends For cedar that resists and reed that bends For good it is a woman sometimes rules, Holds in her hand the power, and manners, schools, And laws, and mind succeeding master proud, With gentle voice and smiles she leads the crowd, The somber human troop.

The true artist can only labor con amore.

A republic may be called the climate of civilization.
