To learn to read is to light a fire.
Victor Hugo
Image
Be as a bird perched on a frail branch that she feels bending beneath her, still she sings away all the same, knowing she has wings.

Victor Hugo

Each of our passions, even love, has a stomach that must not be overloaded. We must in everything write the word 'finis' in time we must restrain ourselves, when it becomes urgent we must draw the bolt on the appetite, play a fantasia on the violin, then break the strings with our own hand. The Wise man is he who knows when and how to stop.

Victor Hugo
Image
Crime is redeemed by remorse, but not by a blow of the axe or slipknot. Blood has to be washed by tears but not by blood.
Victor Hugo
Image
Good actions are the invisible hinges on the doors of heaven.
Victor Hugo

Melancholy is the pleasure of being sad.
Victor Hugo

Not being heard is no reason for silence.

...mothers are often fondest of the child which has caused them the greatest pain.
