More quotes by Victor Hugo

Image
All roads are blocked to a philosophy which reduces everything to the word no. To no there is only one answer and that is yes. Nihilism has no substance. There is no such thing as nothingness, and zero does not exist. Everything is something. Nothing is nothing. Man lives more by affirmation than by bread.

A bird sings, a child prattles, but it is the same hymn hymn indistinct, inarticulate, but full of profound meaning.
