Victor Hugo
As for methods of prayer, all of them are good as long as they are sincere.
Victor Hugo
Let us fear ourselves. Prejudices are the real robbers vices are the real murderers. The great dangers lie within ourselves.
Victor Hugo
Common sense is in spite of, not as the result of education.
Victor Hugo
Those who do not weep, do not see.
Victor Hugo
Fame must have enemies, as light must have gnats.

A few feet under the ground reigns so profound a silence, and yet so much tumult on the surface!
Victor Hugo
