More quotes by Victor Hugo, Les Misérables

"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."
"Not being heard is no reason for silence."
"Teach the ignorant as much as you can; society is culpable in not providing a free education for all and it must answer for the night which it produces. If the soul is left in darkness sins will be committed. The guilty one is not he who commits the sin, but he who causes the darkness."
"Sin is a gravitation."
"...Nobody knows like a woman how to say things that are both sweet and profound. Sweetness and depth, this is all of woman; this is Heaven."
