What's our baggage? Only vows, Happiness, and all our care, And the flower that sweetly shows Nestling lightly in your hair.

Image
I believe in religion against the religious in the pitifulness of orisons, and in the sublimity of prayer.
Victor Hugo
Image
Need is a low door which, when we must by stern necessity pass through, forces the greatest to bend down the most.
Victor Hugo
Image
There are fathers who do not love their children there is no grandfather who does not adore his grandson.

I am for religion, against religions.
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
Equality does not mean that all plants must grow to the same height - a society of tall grass and dwarf trees, a jostle of conflicting jealousies. It means, in civic terms, an equal outlet for all talents in political terms, that all votes will carry the same weight and in religious terms that all beliefs will enjoy equal rights.

Victor Hugo
Image
Ah! There you are! he exclaimed, looking at Jean Valjean. I'm so glad to see you. Well, but how is this? I gave you the candlesticks too, which are of silver like the rest, and for which you can certainly get two hundred francs. Why did you not carry them away with your forks and spoons?
Victor Hugo
Image
Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched, and those who have tried for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives.
Victor Hugo
Image
For there are many great deeds done in the small struggles of life.
Victor Hugo
Image
In this world, which is so plainly the antechamber of another, there are no happy men. The true division of humanity is between those who live in light and those who live in darkness. Our aim must be to diminish the number of the latter and increase the number of the former. That is why we demand education and knowledge.
Victor Hugo
