| f2aef25 | about society buying itself a slave. Who from? From destitution. From hunger, from cold, from loneliness, from abandonment, from dire poverty. A painful bargain. A soul for a bit of bread. Destitution makes an offer, society gives the nod. The sacred law of Jesus Christ governs our civilization, but it has not yet managed to permeate it. They say slavery has vanished from European civilization. That is wrong. It still exists, but it now pre.. | Victor Hugo | ||
| 8130710 | Ai desaparece o desinteresse e divisa-se o vago esboco do demonio; cada qual para si. O eu sem olhos uiva, procura, apalpa e roi. Existe nesse golfao o Ugolino social. As figuras ferozes que giram nessa cova, quase animais, quase fantasmas, nao se ocupam do progresso universal, cuja ideia ignoram; so cuidam de saciar-se cada uma a si mesma. Quase lhes falta a consciencia, e parece haver uma especie de amputacao terrivel dentro delas. Sao d.. | Victor Hugo | ||

| b93c2ce | Thus he shut himself up, he lived there, he was absolutely satisfied with it, leaving on one side the prodigious questions which attract and terrify, the fathomless perspectives of abstraction, the precipices of metaphysics--all those profundities which converge, for the apostle in God, for the atheist in nothingness; destiny, good and evil, the way of being against being, the conscience of man, the thoughtful somnambulism of the animal, th.. | Victor Hugo | ||

| 40faebb | Nous ne sommes pas de ceux qui flattent la guerre; quand l'occasion s'en presente, nous lui disons ses verites. La guerre a d'affreuses beautes que nous n'avons point cachees; elle a aussi, convenons-en, quelques laideurs. Une des plus surprenantes, c'est le prompt depouillement des morts apres la victoire. L'aube qui suit une bataille se leve toujours sur des cadavres nus. | war | Victor Hugo | |

| a2cf200 | Les contre-facons du passe prennent de faux noms et s'appellent volontiers l'avenir. Ce revenant, le passe, est sujet a falsifier son passe-port. Mettons-nous au fait du piege. Defions-nous. Le passe a un visage, la superstition, et un masque, l'hypocrisie. Denoncons le visage et arrachons le masque. | Victor Hugo | ||

| d698b16 | The primitive races of mankind were terrified by the hydra that flew upon the water, by the dragon that belched fire, by the griffin, that aerial monster with wings on an eagle and a tiger's claws -- fearful creatures beyond the control of men. But man sets his traps, the miraculous traps conceived by human intelligence, and in the end he captured them. | Victor Hugo | ||

| 1c889ac | If you wish to gain an idea of what revolution is, call it Progress; and if you wish to acquire an idea of the nature of progress, call it To-morrow. To-morrow fulfils its work irresistibly, and it is already fulfilling it to-day. It | Victor Hugo | ||

In spite of this marriage, however, it was said that Charles Myriel created a great deal of talk. He was well formed, though rather short in stature, elegant, graceful, intelligent; the whole of the first portion of his life had been devoted to the world and to gallantry. The Revolution came; events succeeded each other with prec.. | Victor Hugo | ||

| 3e79bb1 | You can give without loving, but you can never love without giving. The great acts of love are done by those who are habitually performing small acts of kindness. We pardon to the extent that we love. Love is knowing that even when you are alone, you will never be lonely again, and great happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved. Loved for ourselves, and even loved in spite of ourselves. | Victor Hugo | ||
