Victor Hugo
Look not at the face, young girl, look at the heart. The heart of a handsome young man is often deformed. There are hearts in which love does not keep. Young girl, the pine is not beautiful it is not beautiful like the poplar, but it keeps its foliage in winter.
Victor Hugo
The soul helps the body, and at certain moments raises it. It is the only bird that sustains its cage.
Victor Hugo
When two souls have finally found each other, there is established between them a union which begins on earth and continues forever in heaven.
Victor Hugo
To rise from error to truth is rare and beautiful.
Victor Hugo
