...We pray together, we are afraid together, and then we go to sleep. Even if Satan came into the house, no one would interfere. After all, what is there to fear in this house? There is always one with us who is the strongest. Satan may visit our house, but the good Lord lives here.

Victor Hugo

When grace combines with wrinkles, it is admirable. There is an indescribable light of dawn about intensely happy old age. . . . The young person is handsome, but the old, superb.
Victor Hugo
Image
Our mind is enriched by what we receive, our heart by what we give.
Victor Hugo

Dying is nothing. What's terrible is not to live.
Victor Hugo

To learn to read is to light a fire every syllable that is spelled out is a spark.
Victor Hugo

The omnipotence of evil has never resulted in anything but fruitless efforts. Our thoughts always escape from whoever tries to smother them.
Victor Hugo

Every bird which flies has the thread of the infinite in its claw.
