Victor Hugo
God whose gifts in gracious flood Unto all who seek are sent, Only asks you to be good And is content.
Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
The mountains, the forest, and the sea, render men savage they develop the fierce, but yet do not destroy the human.
Victor Hugo
A library implies an act of faith.
Victor Hugo
If a man has his throat cut in Paris, it's a murder. If 50,000 people are murdered in the east, it is a question.
Victor Hugo
Life is a theatre set in which there are but few practicable entrances.
Victor Hugo
A breath of Paris preserves the soul.
Victor Hugo
When a woman is talking to you, listen to what she says with her eyes.
