Anger may be foolish and absurd, and one may be wrongly irritated, but a man never feels outraged unless in some respect he is fundamentally right.
Victor Hugo
Image
Thought is the labor of the intellect, reverie is its pleasure.
Victor Hugo
Image
I like the laughter that opens the lips and the heart, shows at the same time the pearls and the soul.

The soul does not give itself up to despair until it has exhausted all illusions.
Victor Hugo

Do you hear the people sing Lost in the valley of the night? It is the music of a people Who are climbing to the light. For the wretched of the earth There is a flame that never dies. Even the darkest night will end And the sun will rise.
