Victor Hugo
Image
Sire, you are looking at a plain man, and I am looking at a great man. Each of us may benefit.
Victor Hugo
Image
We say and exclaim within ourselves without breaking silence, in a tumult where everything speaks except our mouths. The realities of the soul are none the less real for being invisible and impalpable.
Victor Hugo
Image
Earnestness is the salt of eloquence.
Victor Hugo
Image
