...It all seemed to him to have disappeared as if behind a curtain at a theater. There are such curtains that drop in life. God is moving on to the next act.
Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
Image
Teach the ignorant as much as you can society is culpable in not providing a free education for all and it must answer for the night which it produces. If the soul is left in darkness sins will be committed. The guilty one is not he who commits the sin, but he who causes the darkness.
Victor Hugo
Image
To introduce a new play only six weeks after another has been banned is also a way to speak one's piece to the government. It proves that art and liberty can grow back in one night under the clumsy foot which crushes them.
Victor Hugo
Image
The human soul has still greater need of the ideal than of the real. It is by the real that we exist it is by the ideal that we live.
Victor Hugo
Image
I'm religiously opposed to religion.
Victor Hugo
Image
No army can withstand the strength of an idea whose time has come.
Victor Hugo

I'd like a drink. I desire to forget life. Life is a hideous invention by somebody I don't know. It doesn't last, and it's good for nothing. You break your neck simply living.
Victor Hugo
