Victor Hugo
Those who do not weep, do not see.
Victor Hugo
A library implies an act of faith which generations, still in darkness hid, sign in their night in witness of the dawn.
Victor Hugo
If people did not love one another, I really don't see what use there would be in having any spring.
Victor Hugo
Sleep comes more easily than it returns.
Victor Hugo
To rescue from oblivion even a fragment of a language which men have used and which is in danger of being lost -that is to say, one of the elements, whether good or bad, which have shaped and complicated civilization -is to extend the scope of social observation and to serve civilization.
Victor Hugo
In the domain of art there is no light without heat.
Victor Hugo
