Victor Hugo
Image

Caution is the eldest child of wisdom.
Victor Hugo
Image
The hatred of luxury is not an intelligent hatred. It implies a hatred of arts.

It is only barbarous nations who have a sudden growth after a victory
Victor Hugo
Image
He had not yet lived long enough to have discovered that nothing is more close at hand then the impossible, and that what must be looked for is always the unforeseen.
Victor Hugo
Image
To die is nothing but it is terrible not to live.
