Why worry about what threatens our heads or our purses? Let us think instead of what threatens our souls.
Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
Algebra applies to the clouds.
Victor Hugo
The world is the expanding Greece and Greece is the shrinking world.
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
Here we stop. Upon the threshold of wedding nights stands an angel smiling, his finger on his lip.
Victor Hugo
To learn to read is to light a fire.
Victor Hugo
There is no vacuum in the human heart. Certain demolitions take place, and it is well that they do, but on condition that they are followed by reconstructions.
