Victor Hugo
We must never fear robbers or murderers. They are dangers from outside, small dangers. It is ourselves we have to fear. Prejudice is the real robber, vice the real murderer. Why should we be troubled by a threat to our person or our pocket? What we have to beware of is the threat to our souls'.
Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
The production of souls is the secret of unfathomable depth.
Victor Hugo
The future has several names. For the weak, it is impossible for the fainthearted, it is unknown but for the valiant, it is ideal.
Victor Hugo
Popularity - a piece of faded tinsel, that is out of date.
Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
