Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
Why worry about what threatens our heads or purses? Let us think instead of what threatens our souls.
Victor Hugo
A day will come when all nations on our continent will form a European brotherhood... A day will come when we shall see... the United States of America and the United States of Europe face to face, reaching out for each other across the seas.
