| VICTOR HUGO |
| (1802-1885) |
| Forty is the old age of youth; fifty the youth of old age. He who opens a school door, closes a prison. The supreme happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved. There are thoughts which are prayers. There are moments when, whatever the posture of the body, the soul is on its knees. There is one thing stronger than all the armies in the world, and that is an idea whose time has come. |
