Dear God! how beauty varies in nature and art. In a woman the flesh must be like marble in a statue the marble must be like flesh. – Victor Hugo
As a means of contrast with the sublime, the grotesque is, in our view, the richest source that nature can offer. – Victor Hugo
I love all men who think, even those who think otherwise than myself. – Victor Hugo
When God desires to destroy a thing, he entrusts its destruction to the thing itself. Every bad institution of this world ends by suicide. – Victor Hugo
