More quotes by Victor Hugo, Les Misérables

"Equality, citizens, is not the whole of society on a level, a society of tall blades of grass and small oaks, or a number of entangled jealousies. It is, legally speaking, every aptitude having the same opportunity for a career; politically all consciences having the same right. Equality has an organ, gratuitous and compulsory education. We must begin with the right to the alphabet."
"Every day has its great grief or its small anxiety. ... One cloud is dispelled, another forms. There is hardly one day in a hundred of real joy and bright sunshine."
"You who suffer because you love, love still more. To die of love, is to live by it."
"The pupil dilates in darkness and in the end finds light, just as the soul dilates in misfortune and in the end finds God."
"Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise."
