Victor Hugo
 Architecture has recorded the great ideas of the human race. Not only every religious symbol, but every human thought has its page in that vast book. |
| As the purse is emptied the heart is filled. |
| Ask not the name of him who asks you for a bed. It is especially he whose name is a burden to him, who has need of an asylum (room). |
| Be as a bird perched on a frail branch that she feels bending beneath her, still she sings away all the same, knowing she has wings. |
| Be it true or false, what is said about men often has as much influence upon their lives, and especially upon their destinies, as what they do |
| Be like the bird that, pausing in her flight awhile on boughs too slight, feels them give way beneath her, and yet sings, knowing that she hath wings. |
| Before undergoing a serious surgical operation, put your affairs in order - you may survive |
| Caution is the eldest child of wisdom |
| Civil war? What does that mean? Is there any foreign war? Isn't every war fought between men, between brothers? |
| Close by the Rights of Man, at the least set beside them, are the Rights of the Spirit. |
| Common sense is in spite of, not as the result of education. |
| Curiosity is one of the forms of feminine bravery. |
| Despots play their part in the works of thinkers. Fettered words are terrible words. The writer doubles and trebles the power of his writing when a ruler imposes silence on the people. Something emerges from that enforced silence, a mysterious fullness which filters through and becomes steely in the thought. Repression in history leads to conciseness in the historian, and the rocklike hardness of much celebrated prose is due to the tempering of the tyrant. |
| Do not ask the name of the person who seeks a bed for the night. He who is reluctant to give his name is the one who most needs shelter. |
| Each man should frame life so that at some future hour fact and his dreaming meet. |
