Victor Hugo
  • Greater than the tread of mighty armies is an idea whose time has come.

  • We see past time in a telescope and present time in a microscope. Hence the apparent enormities of the present.

  • To rise from error to truth is rare and beautiful.

  • Civil war? What does that mean? Is there any foreign war? Isn't every war fought between men, between brothers?

  • A war between Europeans is a civil war.
