I put a Phrygian cap on the old dictionary.
Victor Hugo
To learn to read is to light a fire every syllable that is spelled out is a spark.
Victor Hugo
Do you know what friendship is... it is to be brother and sister two souls which touch without mingling, two fingers on one hand.
Victor Hugo
The miserable's name is Man he is agonizing in all climes, and he is groaning in all languages.

God has set his intentions in the flowers, in the dawn, in the spring, it is his will that we should love.
Victor Hugo
Since we shall love each other, I shall be great and you shall be rich.
Victor Hugo
The transept belfry and the two towers were to him three great cages, the birds in which, taught by him, would sing for him alone. Yet it was these same bells which had made him deaf but mothers are often fondest of the child who has made them suffer most.
Victor Hugo
He saw before him two roads, both equally straight but he saw two and that terrified him — him, who had never in his life known but one straight line. And, bitter anguish, these two roads were contradictory.
Victor Hugo
Freedom in art, freedom in society, this is the double goal towards which all consistent and logical minds must strive.
Victor Hugo
Concision in style, precision in thought, decision in life.
Victor Hugo
What I feel for you seems less of earth and more of a cloudless heaven.
Victor Hugo
There is no rapture in the love which is prompted by esteem such affection is lasting, not passionate.
Victor Hugo
Teach the ignorant as much as you can society is culpable in not providing a free education for all and it must answer for the night which it produces. If the soul is left in darkness sins will be committed. The guilty one is not he who commits the sin, but he who causes the darkness.
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
True thinkers are characterized by a blending of clearness and mystery.
Victor Hugo
M. Mabeuf’s political opinion was a passionate fondness for plants, and a still greater one for books. He had, like everybody else, his termination in ist, without which nobody could have lived in those times, but he was neither a royalist, nor a Bonapartist, nor a chartist, nor an Orleanist, nor an anarchist he was an old-bookist.
Victor Hugo
Progress is the life-style of man.
Victor Hugo
Stupidity talks, vanity acts.
Victor Hugo
These are dark radiances. They have no suspicion that they are to be pitied. Certainly they are so. He who does not weep does not see. They are to be admired and pitied, as one would both pity and admire a being at once night and day, without eyes beneath his lashes but with a star on his brow.
Victor Hugo
