Victor Hugo
Image

Image
Superstition, bigotry and prejudice, ghosts though they are, cling tenaciously to life they are shades armed with tooth and claw. They must be grappled with unceasingly, for it is a fateful part of human destiny that it is condemned to wage perpetual war against ghosts. A shade is not easily taken by the throat and destroyed.
Victor Hugo

Dying is nothing. What's terrible is not to live.
Victor Hugo
Image
To commit the least possible sin is the law for man. To live without sin is the dream of an angel. Everything terrestrial is subject to sin. Sin is a gravitation.
Victor Hugo
Image
From the oyster to the eagle, from the swine to the tiger, all animals are to be found in men and each of them exists in some man, sometimes several at the time. Animals are nothing but the portrayal of our virtues and vices made manifest to our eyes, the visible reflections of our souls. God displays them to us to give us food for thought.
Victor Hugo
Image
To learn to read is to light a fire every syllable that is spelled out is a spark.
Victor Hugo
Image
In the Twentieth Century war will be dead, the scaffold will be dead, hatred will be dead, frontier boundaries will be dead, dogmas will be dead man will live. He will possess something higher than all these-a great country, the whole earth, and a great hope, the whole heaven.

To love is the half of to believe.

Do you hear the people sing? Singing a song of angry men
Victor Hugo

The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves.
