Victor Hugo
Image
Those who live are those who fight.
Victor Hugo
Image
Loving is half of believing.
Victor Hugo
Image
Diamonds are found only in the dark places of the earth, truths are found only in the depths of thought.
Victor Hugo
Image

Victor Hugo
Image
Caution is the eldest child of wisdom.
Victor Hugo
Image
You ask me what forces me to speak? a strange thing my conscience.
Victor Hugo
Image
Scepticism, that dry caries of the intelligence.
Victor Hugo
