Victor Hugo
Image
A day will come when a cannon will be exhibited in museums, just as instruments of torture are now, and the people will be astonished that such a thing could have been.
Victor Hugo
Image
Kings are for nations in their swaddling-clothes: France has attained her majority.
Victor Hugo
Image
He never went out without a book under his arm, and he often came back with two.
Victor Hugo
Image
We do not comprehend everything, but we insult nothing.
Victor Hugo
Image
One resists the invasion of armies one does not resist the invasion of ideas.
