Hugo

Famous quotes containing the word hugo:

    One cannot be a good historian of the outward, visible world without giving some thought to the hidden, private life of ordinary people; and on the other hand one cannot be a good historian of this inner life without taking into account outward events where these are relevant. They are two orders of fact which reflect each other, which are always linked and which sometimes provoke each other.
    —Victor Hugo (1802–1885)

    In those hours when history becomes terrible, it is as if the soul of woman seizes the moment and tries to set an example for the soul of man ... the soul of the French woman is really a heroic blend of family and homeland.
    —Victor Hugo (1802–1885)

    When liberty returns, I will return.
    —Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
