Victor Hugo
Image
His universal compassion was due less to natural instinct, than to a profound conviction, a sum of thoughts that in the course of living had filtered through to his heart: for in the nature of man, as in rock, there may be channels hollowed by the dropping of water, and these can never be destroyed.

Out Milky Way is the dwelling the nebulae are the city.
Victor Hugo
Image
The future has many names: For the weak, it means the unattainable. For the fearful, it means the unknown. For the courageous, it means opportunity.
Victor Hugo
Image
We should judge a man much more surely from what he dreams than from what he thinks.
Victor Hugo
Image
Work is the law of life, and to reject it as boredom is to submit to it as torment.
