Victor Hugo
Not ill? No truly, I am young, healthful, and strong the blood flows freely in my veins my limbs obey my will I am robust in mind and body, constituted for a long life. Yes, all this is true and yet, nevertheless, I have an illness, a fatal illness,-an illness given by the hand of man!

Victor Hugo
Equality does not mean that all plants must grow to the same height - a society of tall grass and dwarf trees, a jostle of conflicting jealousies. It means, in civic terms, an equal outlet for all talents in political terms, that all votes will carry the same weight and in religious terms that all beliefs will enjoy equal rights.
Victor Hugo
Close by the Rights of Man, at the least set beside them, are the Rights of the Spirit.
Victor Hugo
The soul helps the body, and at certain moments raises it. It is the only bird that sustains its cage.
Victor Hugo
Who then understands the reciprocal flux and reflux of the infinitely great and the infinitely small, the echoing of causes in the abysses of being, and the avalanches of creation?
Victor Hugo
Wherever the Turkish hoof trods, no grass grows.
Victor Hugo
