Toleration is the best religion.
Victor Hugo
Image
These two beings, who had loved each other so exclusively, and with so touching a love, and who had lived so long for each other, were now suffering beside one another and through one another without speaking of it, without harsh feeling, and smiling all the while.
Victor Hugo
Image
A day will come when markets, open to trade, and minds, open to ideas, will become the sole battlefield.
Victor Hugo
Image
You would have imagined her at one moment a maniac, at another a queen.
Victor Hugo

It is the essence of truth that it is never excessive. Why should it exaggerate? There is that which should be destroyed and that which should be simply illuminated and studied. How great is the force of benevolent and searching examination! We must not resort to the flame where only light is required.
Victor Hugo
Image

Victor Hugo
Image

Genuflection before the idol or the dollar destroys the muscles which walk and the will that moves.
Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
Image
He was at his own request and through his own complicity driven out of all his happinesses one after the other and he had this sorrow, that after having lost Cosette wholly in one day, he was afterwards obliged to lose her again in detail.
Victor Hugo
Image
Word which the finger of God has written on the brow of every man — hope!
Victor Hugo

Image
To contemplate is to look at shadows.
Victor Hugo
Image
Don't educate your children to be rich. Educate them to be happy, so they know the value of things, not the price.
Victor Hugo
Image
There is a material advancement we desire it. There is, also, a moral grandeur we hold fast to it.
Victor Hugo
Image
Love, thine is the future. Death, I use thee, but I hate thee. Citizens, there shall be in the future neither darkness nor thunderbolts neither ferocious ignorance nor blood for blood.
Victor Hugo
Image
The production of souls is the secret of unfathomable depth.
Victor Hugo
Image
Let us sacrifice one day to gain perhaps a whole life.

One believes others will do what he will do to himself.
