Hell is an outrage on humanity. When you tell me that your deity made you in his image, I reply that he must have been very ugly. Victor Hugo Read Quote
Sublime upon sublime scarcely presents a contrast, and we need a little rest from everything, even the beautiful. Victor Hugo Read Quote
The omnipotence of evil has never resulted in anything but fruitless efforts. Our thoughts always escape from whoever tries to smother them. Victor Hugo Read Quote

They are the ever-enlarging circles of intelligence in action; they are the sonorous waves of thought. Victor Hugo Read Quote
