Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face. – Victor Hugo
Have no fear of robbers or murderers. They are external dangers, petty dangers. We should fear ourselves. Prejudices are the real robbers; vices the real murders. The great dangers are within us. Why worry about what threatens our heads or purses? Let us think instead of what threatens our souls. – Victor Hugo
Doing nothing is happiness for children and misery for old men. – Victor Hugo
There is one thing stronger than all the armies in the world, and that is an idea whose time has come. – Victor Hugo
I tour alone. Theres no sound check, no back up. I stay with the hosts I am in a family home and its really nourishing. I just have to remember after the show not to run out into the living room in my pyjamas. Every day, its a new relationship being built. Its odd and wonderful. – Jane Siberry
Other nations of different habits are not enemies: they are godsends. Men require of their neighbours something sufficiently akin to be understood, something sufficiently different to provoke attention, and something great enough to command admiration. We must not expect, however, all the virtues. – Alfred North Whitehead
