"A faith is a necessity to a man. Woe to him who believes in nothing." ― Victor Hugo Topic(s): Intelligence Tags: faith, necessity More From Victor Hugo "Well, for us, in history where goodness is a rare pearl, he who was good almost takes precedence over he who was great." "Adversity makes men, and prosperity makes monsters." "One is not idle because one is absorbed. There is both visible and invisible labor. To contemplate is to toil, to think is to do. The crossed arms work, the clasped hands act. The eyes upturned to Heaven are an act of creation."
