I am not in the world to care for my life, but for souls.
Victor Hugo
Image
There shall be no slavery of the mind.
Victor Hugo
Image
What I feel for you seems less of earth and more of a cloudless heaven.
Victor Hugo

If you don't build castles in the air you won't build anything on the ground.
Victor Hugo
