Victor Hugo
Great blunders are often made, like large ropes, of a multitude of fibres.
Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
Well, for us, in history where goodness is a rare pearl, he who was good almost takes precedence over he who was great.
Victor Hugo
There is a way of meeting error while on the road of truth.
Victor Hugo
Revolutions are not born of chance but of necessity.
Victor Hugo
Progress is not accomplished in one stage.
