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
Dirt has been shrewdly termed misplaced material.
Victor Hugo
Image
The miserable's name is Man he is agonizing in all climes, and he is groaning in all languages.
Victor Hugo
Image
The cruel of heart have their own black happiness.
Victor Hugo
Image
The sunshine was delightful, the foliage gently astir, more from the activity of birds than from the breeze. One gallant little bird, doubtless lovelorn, was singing his heart out at the top of a tall tree.
Victor Hugo
Image
Let the one fight for his flag, and the other for his ideal, and let them both imagine that they are fighting for the country the strife will be colossal.
Victor Hugo
Image
Music expresses that which cannot be put into words.
Victor Hugo
Image
He never went out without a book under his arm, and he often came back with two.
