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."
"Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise."
"Life's great happiness is to be convinced we are loved."
"This first glance of a soul which does not yet know itself is like dawn in the heavens; it is the awakening of something radiant and unknown."
"You who suffer because you love, love still more. To die of love, is to live by it."
