Victor Hugo
The hand which moves over the dial moves also among souls.
Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
All roads are blocked to a philosophy which reduces everything to the word 'no.' To 'no' there is only one answer and that is 'yes.
Victor Hugo
One believes others will do what he will do to himself.
Victor Hugo
Wherever the Turkish hoof trods, no grass grows.
Victor Hugo
He loved books books are cold but safe friends.
Victor Hugo
