  • Yes, the brutalities of progress are called revolutions

    Victor Hugo (2016). “Les Misérables”, p.58, My Ebook Publishing House
  • Justice has its anger, my lord Bishop, and the wrath of justice is an element of progress. Whatever else may be said of it, the French Revolution was the greatest step forward by mankind since the coming of Christ. It was unfinished, I agree, but still it was sublime. It released the untapped springs of society; it softened hearts, appeased, tranquilized, enlightened, and set flowing through the world the tides of civilization. It was good. The French Revolution was the anointing of humanity.

    Victor Hugo (1980). “Les misérables”, Viking Pr
  • Often the losing of a battle leads to the winning of progress. Less glory but greater liberty: the drum is silent and the voices of reason can be heard.

    Victor Hugo (1980). “Les misérables”, Viking Pr
  • If you wish to understand what Revolution is, call it Progress; and if you wish to understand what Progress is, call it Tomorrow.

    Victor Hugo, Charles Edwin Wilbour (1987). “Les misérables”, Dutton Adult

  • I believe, sir, in all the progress. Air navigation is the result of the oceanic navigation: from water the human has to pass in the air. Everywhere where creation will be breathable to him, the human will penetrate into the creation. Our only limit is life.

  • Emergencies have always been necessary to progress. It was darkness which produced the lamp. It was fog that produced the compass. It was hunger that drove us to exploration. And it took a depression to teach us the real value of a job.

  • Wide horizons lead the soul to broad ideas; circumscribed horizons engender narrow ideas; this sometimes condemns great hearts to become small minded.Broad ideas hated by narrow ideas,-this is the very struggle of progress.

  • Progress is the stride of God.

  • The brutalities of progress are called revolutions. When they are over we realize this: that the human race has been roughly handled, but that it has advanced.

    Victor Hugo (1980). “Les misérables”, Viking Pr
  • Progress is not accomplished in one stage.

    Victor Hugo (2010). “The Works of Victor Hugo”, p.1294, BookCaps Study Guides
