Victor Hugo
  • Joy's smile is much closer to tears than laughter.

  • Society is a republic. When an individual tries to lift themselves above others, they are dragged down by the mass, either by ridicule or slander.

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

  • People do not lack strength they lack will.

  • Sorrow is a fruit. God does not make it grow on limbs too weak to bear it.
