Victor Hugo
  • Many great actions are committed in small struggles.

  • Smallness in a great man seems smaller by its disproportion with all the rest.

  • There have been in this century only one great man and one great thing: Napoleon and liberty. For want of the great man, let us have the great thing.

  • The three great problems of this century the degradation of man in the proletariat, the subjection of women through hunger, the atrophy of the child by darkness.

  • The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves.
