Victor Hugo

My tastes are aristocratic, my actions democratic.

There is one spectacle grander than the sea, that is the sky; there is one spectacle grander than the sky, that is the interior of the soul.

Hope is the word which God has written on the brow of every man.

I will support a path to citizenship if it does not fall within the definition of amnesty, and we've got to define what amnesty is in this country.

I sometimes give myself admirable advice, but I am incapable of taking it.

Praise out of season, or tactlessly bestowed, can freeze the heart as much as blame.
