Victor Hugo
 Such is the remorseless progression of human society, shedding lives and souls as it goes on its way. It is an ocean into which men sink who have been cast out by the law and consigned, with help most cruelly withheld, to moral death. The sea is the pitiless social darkness into which the penal system casts those it has condemned, an unfathomable waste of misery. The human soul, lost in those depths, may become a corpse. Who shall revive it? |
| Superstition, bigotry and prejudice, ghosts though they are, cling tenaciously to life; they are shades armed with tooth and claw. They must be grappled with unceasingly, for it is a fateful part of human destiny that it is condemned to wage perpetual war against ghosts. A shade is not easily taken by the throat and destroyed. |
| The book which the reader now holds in his hands, from one end to the other, as a whole and in its details, whatever gaps, exceptions, or weaknesses it may contain, treats of the advance from evil to good, from injustice to justice, from falsity to truth, from darkness to daylight, from blind appetite to conscience, from decay to life, from bestiality to duty, from Hell to Heaven, from limbo to God. Matter itself is the starting-point, and the point of arrival is the soul. Hydra at the beginning, an angel at the end. |
| The brutalities of progress are called revolutions. When they are over we realize this: that the human race has been roughly handled, but that it has advanced. |
| The first symptom of love in a young man is shyness; the first symptom in a woman, it's boldness. |
| The greatest blunders, like the thickest ropes, are often compounded of a multitude of strands. Take the rope apart, separate it into the small threads that compose it, and you can break them one by one. You think, "That is all there was!" But twist |
| The greatest happiness of life it the conviction that we are loved -- loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves. |
| The guilty one is not he who commits the sin, but the one who causes the darkness. |
| The human soul has still greater need of the ideal than of the real. It is by the real that we exist; it is by the ideal that we live. |
| The human soul has still greater need of the ideal than of the real. It is by the real that we exist; it is by the ideal that we live. |
| The human soul has still greater need of the ideal than of the real. It is by the real that we exist; it is by the ideal that we live. |
| The human soul has still greater need of the ideal than of the real. It is by the real that we exist; it is by the ideal that we live. |
| The mind enriches by receiving, the hart by giving |
| The most powerful symptom of love is a tenderness which becomes at times almost insupportable. |
| The mountains, the forest, and the sea, render men savage; they develop the fierce, but yet do not destroy the human. |
