Victor Hugo
Do not economize on the hymeneal rites do not prune them of their splendor, nor split farthings on the day when you are radiant. A wedding is not house-keeping.
Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
Of all the things that God has made, the human heart is the one which sheds the most light, alas! and the most darkness.
Victor Hugo
If it were (Is it not) outrageous that society should treat with such rigid precision those of its members who were most poorly endowed in the distribution or wealth that chance had made, and who were, therefore, most worthy of indulgence.
Victor Hugo
It is not enough to be happy, one must be content.
Victor Hugo
