Have no fear of robbers or murderers. They are external dangers, petty dangers. We should fear ourselves. Prejudices are the real robbers vices the real murderers. The great dangers are within us.

Victor Hugo
Genuflection before the idol or the dollar destroys the muscles which walk and the will that moves.
Victor Hugo
If she gives me all her time it is because I have all her heart.
Victor Hugo
For there are many great deeds done in the small struggles of life.
Victor Hugo
One only needs to see a smile in a white crape bonnet in order to enter the palace of dreams.
Victor Hugo
All roads are blocked to a philosophy which reduces everything to the word no. To no there is only one answer and that is yes. Nihilism has no substance. There is no such thing as nothingness, and zero does not exist. Everything is something. Nothing is nothing. Man lives more by affirmation than by bread.
Victor Hugo
