Quote by Victor Hugo (1802-1885)

• I don't mind what Congress does, as long as they don't do it in the streets and frighten the horses.

• Have no fear of robbers or murderers. They are external dangers, petty dangers. We should fear ourselves. Prejudices are the real robbers; vices the real murders. The great dangers are within us. Why worry about what threatens our heads or purses? Let us think instead of what threatens our souls.

• A faith is a necessity to a man. Woe to him who believes in nothing.

• How did it happen that their lips came together? How does it happen that birds sing, that snow melts, that the rose unfolds, that the dawn whitens behind the stark shapes of trees on the quivering summit of the hill? A kiss, and all was said.

• There is nothing more powerful than an idea whose time has come.

• I met in the street a very poor young man who was in love. His hat was old, his coat worn, his cloak was out at the elbows, the water passed through his shoes -- and the stars through his soul.
