Hugo

Famous quotes containing the word hugo:

    It has become necessary to call the attention of European governments to a fact which is apparently so insignificant that the governments seem not to notice it. The fact is this: an entire people is being annihilated. Where? In Europe. Are there witnesses? One witness, the entire world. Do the governments see it? No.
    —Victor Hugo (1802–1885)

    Perseverance, secret of all triumphs.
    —Victor Hugo (1802–1885)

    One is not idle because one is absorbed. There is both visible and invisible labor. To contemplate is to toil, to think is to do. The crossed arms work, the clasped hands act. The eyes upturned to Heaven are an act of creation.
    —Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
