Victor Hugo
Forget not, never forget that you have promised me to use this silver to become an honest man.... Jean Valjean, my brother: you belong no longer to evil, but to good. It is your soul that I am buying for you. I withdraw it from dark thoughts and from the spirit of perdition, and I give it to God!

Victor Hugo
Every blade has two edges he who wounds with one wounds himself with the other.
Victor Hugo
What is said about men often has as much influence upon their lives, and especially upon their destinies, as what they do.
Victor Hugo
Religions do a useful thing: they narrow God to the limits of man. Philosophy replies by doing a necessary thing: it elevates man to the plane of God.
Victor Hugo
In every cradle decked with rosy wreath Lurk germs of death.
Victor Hugo
Let us fear ourselves. Prejudices are the real robbers vices are the real murderers. The great dangers lie within ourselves.
Victor Hugo
Idleness is the heaviest of all oppressions.
Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
