Famous quotes containing the word hugo:

    “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.”
    —Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
