Victor Hugo
Image
There comes an hour when protest no longer suffices after philosophy there must be action the strong hand finishes what the idea has sketched.
Victor Hugo
Image

Victor Hugo
Image
Superstition, bigotry and prejudice, ghosts though they are, cling tenaciously to life they are shades armed with tooth and claw. They must be grappled with unceasingly, for it is a fateful part of human destiny that it is condemned to wage perpetual war against ghosts. A shade is not easily taken by the throat and destroyed.

Emotion is always new.
Victor Hugo
Image
The omnipotence of evil has never resulted in anything but fruitless efforts. Our thoughts always escape from whoever tries to smother them.
Victor Hugo
Image
A cannonball travels only two thousand miles an hour light travels two hundred thousand miles a second. Such is the superiority of Jesus Christ over Napoleon.
Victor Hugo
Image
Do not economize on the hymeneal rites do not prune them of their splendor, nor split farthings on the day when you are radiant. A wedding is not house-keeping.
Victor Hugo
Image
God whose gifts in gracious flood Unto all who seek are sent, Only asks you to be good And is content.
Victor Hugo
Image
He had not yet lived long enough to have discovered that nothing is more close at hand then the impossible, and that what must be looked for is always the unforeseen.
