Victor Hugo
Image
To see so much misery everywhere, I suspect that God is not rich. He keeps up appearances, it is true, but I feel the pinch. He gives a revolution as a merchant, whose credit is low, gives a ball.
Victor Hugo
Image
A mother's arms are made of tenderness and children sleep soundly in them.
Victor Hugo
Image
An intelligent hell would be better than a stupid paradise.
Victor Hugo
Image
The beautiful is as useful as the useful. He added after a moment’s silence, Perhaps more so.
Victor Hugo
Image
Kings are for nations in their swaddling-clothes: France has attained her majority.
Victor Hugo
Image
Since we shall love each other, I shall be great and you shall be rich.
Victor Hugo
