Victor Hugo
  • Freedom in art, freedom in society, this is the double goal towards which all consistent and logical minds must strive.

  • Certain thoughts are prayers. There are moments when, whatever be the attitude of the body, the soul is on its knees.

  • To love beauty is to see light.

  • Dear God! how beauty varies in nature and art. In a woman the flesh must be like marble in a statue the marble must be like flesh.

  • What would be ugly in a garden constitutes beauty in a mountain.
