The sadness which reigned everywhere was but an excuse for unfailing kindness.
Victor Hugo
Image
Dying is nothing. What's terrible is not to live.
Victor Hugo
Image
To introduce a new play only six weeks after another has been banned is also a way to speak one's piece to the government. It proves that art and liberty can grow back in one night under the clumsy foot which crushes them.
Victor Hugo
Image
One resists the invasion of armies one does not resist the invasion of ideas.
Victor Hugo
Image
There is in every village a torch - the teacher and an extinguisher - the priest.
Victor Hugo
