Victor Hugo
Image
Caution is the eldest child of wisdom.
Victor Hugo
Image
Why worry about what threatens our heads or purses? Let us think instead of what threatens our souls.
Victor Hugo
Image
The reduction of the universe to the compass of a single being, and the extension of a single being until it reaches God - that is love. Love is the salute of the angels to the stars. How sad is the heart when rendered sad by love! How great is the void created by the absence of the being who alone fills the world.
Victor Hugo
Image
The greatest products of architecture are less the works of individuals than of society rather the offspring of a nation's effort, than the inspired flash of a man of genius.
Victor Hugo
Image
