| fc5b355 | Meeting a dragon is like falling in love. Even though you have never experienced it before, you will know when it has happened. | Bill Richardson | ||
| 37ff0f8 | Prawda ma swoje strony uderzajace, ktore sie chwyta, gdy sie ma talent. | Denis Diderot | ||
| 01d0971 | Se me debe exigir que busque la verdad, pero no que la encuentre. | Denis Diderot | ||
| c15ba7a | The enjoyment of freedom which could be exercised without any motivation would be the real hallmark of a maniac. | Denis Diderot | ||
| 930b75d | To speak to you frankly, Reader, I find that you are the more wicked of the two of us. How satisfied would I be if it were as easy for me to protect myself from your calumny as it is for you to protect yourself from the boredom or the danger of my work! | Denis Diderot | ||

| 45790c9 | Life, misfortune, isolation, abandonment, poverty, are the fields of battle which have their heroes; obscure heroes, who are, sometimes, grander than the heroes who win renown. | Victor Hugo | ||
| 4422abb | With grand and lofty natures, the revolts of the flesh and the senses when subjected to physical suffering cause the soul to spring forth, and make it appear on the brow, just as rebellions among the soldiery force the captain to show himself. | Victor Hugo | ||
| 79f33b2 | The peculiarity of prudery is to station the more sentries the less the fortress is menaced. | Victor Hugo | ||
| 7ad9284 | It's that big guy who's the government. | Victor Hugo | ||
| 7ee36e8 | The beautiful is as useful as the useful." He added after a moment's pause, "Perhaps more so." | Victor Hugo | ||
| c620959 | The infinite is. He is there. If the infinite had no person, person would be without limit; it would not be infinite; in other words, it would not exist. There is, then, an I. That I of the infinite is God. | Victor Hugo | ||
| 821d25d | The power of a glance has been so much abused in love stories that it has come to be disbelieved. Few people dare say nowadays that two beings have fallen in love because they have looked at each other. Yet that is the way love begins, and only that way. The rest is only the rest, and comes afterwards. Nothing is more real than the great shocks that two souls give each other in exchanging this spark. | Victor Hugo | ||

| da35d25 | This is not my house; it is the house of Jesus Christ. This door does not demand of him who enters whether he has a name, but whether he has a grief. You suffer, you are hungry and thirsty; you are welcome. And do not thank me; do not say that I receive you in my house. No one is at home here, except the man who needs a refuge. I say to you, who are passing by, that you are much more at home here than I am myself. | Victor Hugo | ||
| 0a99433 | Often a battle is lost and progress is conquered. There is less glory and more liberty. The drum holds its peace; reason takes the word. It is a game in which he who loses wins. | Victor Hugo | ||
| d23073c | Claude, saddened and discouraged in his human affections, by all this, had flung himself eagerly into the arms of learning, that sister which, at least does not laugh in your face, and which always pays you, though in money that is sometimes a little hollow, for the attention which you have paid to her. Hence, he became more and more learned, and, at the same time, as a natural consequence, more and more rigid as a priest, more and more sad.. | Victor Hugo | ||
| e039de9 | Red is an all-embracing colour,' said the bishop. 'How fortunate that those who despise it in a bonnet revere it in a hat. | Victor Hugo | ||
| b79257a | Seated on a paving-stone near Enjolras, Courfeyrac continued to jeer at the cannon, and every passage of that sinister cloud of projectiles that is called grapeshot, accompanied by its monstrous din, drew from him an ironical comment. 'You're wearing yourself out, you poor old brute. You're getting hoarse. You're not thundering, only spluttering. It's breaking my heart.' His remarks were greeted with laughter. | humour les-amis-d-abc | Victor Hugo | |
| 6afc506 | But let those who do not desire a future reflect on this matter. When they say "no" to progress, it is not the future but themselves that they are condemning. They are giving themselves a sad malady; they are inoculating themselves with the past. There is but one way of rejecting To-morrow, and that is to die." | Victor Hugo | ||

| c5b8dcd | PREFACIO Mientras exista, a consecuencia de las leyes y de las costumbres, una condena social que cree artificialmente infiernos en plena civilizacion, y enturbie con una fatalidad humana el destino, que es divino; mientras no se resuelvan los tres problemas del siglo: la degradacion del hombre en el proletariado, la decadencia de la mujer por el hambre, la atrofia del nino por las tinieblas; mientras en ciertas regiones sea posible la asfi.. | Victor Hugo | ||

| cc11b2f | The cities make ferocious men because they may corrupt man. The mountain, the sea, the forest, make savage men; they development fierce side, but often without destroying the humane side. | civilization simplicity | Victor Hugo | |
| c4da13d | Algebra applies to the clouds; the radiance of the star benefits the rose; no thinker would dare to say that the perfume of the hawthorn is useless to the constellations. | Victor Hugo | ||
| af8ed0c | Humanity is identity. All men are made of the same clay. No difference, here below at least, in predestination. The same darkness before, the same flesh during, the same ashes after. But when ignorance is mixed with human dough, it blackens it. This incurable blackness takes over man's insides and there turns into evil... Destroy the dark hold, Ignorance, and you destroy the mole, Crime. | Victor Hugo | ||
| 5b77e83 | In the morning, when he entered my room, I grumbled, but he was like the sunlight to me, all the same. One cannot defend oneself against those brats. They take hold of you, they hold you fast, they never let you go again. The truth is, that there never was a cupid like that child. | love | Victor Hugo | |
| 1419a01 | C'est que l'amour est comme un arbre, il pousse de lui-meme, jette profondement ses racines dans tout notre etre, et continue souvent de verdoyer sur un coeur en ruines. Et ce qu'il y a d'inexplicable, c'est que plus cette passion est aveugle, plus elle est tenace. Elle n'est jamais plus solide que lorsqu'elle n'a pas de raison en elle. | Victor Hugo | ||
| a7de5f0 | Maintenant je suis captif. Mon corps est aux fers dans un cachot, mon esprit est en prison dans une idee. Une horrible, une sanglante, une implacable idee! Je n'ai plus qu'une pense, qu'une conviction, qu'une certitude: condamne a mort! | Victor Hugo | ||

| 451efd0 | Did I exist before my birth? No. Shall I exist after death? No. What am I? A little dust collected in an organism. What am I to do on this earth? The choice rests with me: suffer or enjoy. Whither will suffering lead me? To nothingness; but I shall have suffered. Whither will enjoyment lead me? To nothingness; but I shall have enjoyed myself. My choice is made. One must eat or be eaten. I shall eat. It is better to be the tooth than the gra.. | Victor Hugo | ||

| 7490901 | I mean that man is ruled by a tyrant whose name is Ignorance, and that is the tyrant I sought to overthrow. That is the tyrant which gave birth to monarchy, and monarchy is authority based on falsehood, whereas knowledge is authority based on truth. Man should be ruled by knowledge. | Victor Hugo | ||
| f72c1f2 | You've picked up a rummy habit," James Banister said cordially as they approached one another. "Sort of a crouch. You look a bit... well, I'm sorry, but you look a bit Victor Hugo, if you catch my drift. Would you like to adjourn to a cathedral or something?" | Nick Harkaway | ||

| 9d0ceca | He was indulgent to women and to the poor, oppressed by the weight of society. "The faults of women, children, and servants," he said, "and of the weak, the poor and the ignorant, are the faults of husbands, fathers and masters, and of the strong, the rich and the learned." He also said: "Teach the ignorant as much as you can. Society is to blame for not giving free education; it is responsible for the darkness it creates. The soul in darkn.. | Victor Hugo | ||
