Not being heard is no reason for silence. - Victor Hugo, Les Misérables

"Yes, the brutalities of progress are called revolutions. When they are over, this is recognised: that the human race has been harshly treated, but that it has advanced."

"If people did not love one another, I really don't see what use there would be in having any spring."

"There is nothing like a dream to create the future."

"where the telescope ends the microscope begins, and who can say which has the wider vision?"

"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."
