#Quote
1Men become accustomed to poison by degrees.
2Music is noise that thinks.
3The Paradise of the Rich is made from the Hell of the Poor.
4The Devil may visit us, but God lives here.
5Common sense is in spite of, not because of, Education.
6A writer is a World trapped inside a person.
7Not being heard is no reason for silence.
8To die is nothing. Not to live is frightful.
9Caution is the eldest child of wisdom.
10[on the future] There is nothing like a dream to create the future.
11[on bravery] Have courage for the great sorrows of life and patience for the small ones; and when you have laboriously accomplished your daily task, go to sleep in peace. God is awake.
12Man lives by affirmation even more than he does by bread.
13Popularity? It is glory's small change.
14Imagination is intelligence with an erection.
15The supreme happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved.
16To rescue from oblivion even a fragment of a language which men have used and which is in danger of being lost--that is to say, one of the elements, whether good or bad, which have shaped and complicated civilization--is to extend the scope of social observation and to serve civilization.
17Where the telescope ends, the microscope begins. Which of the two has the grander view?
18Nothing awakens a reminiscence like an odor.
19A compliment is something like a kiss through a veil.
20The left-handed are precious; they take places which are inconvenient for the rest.
21An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea whose time has come.
22Certain thoughts are prayers. They are moments when, whatever be the attitude of the body, the soul is on its knees.
23Music expresses that which can not be said and on which it is impossible to be silent.
#Fact
1Pantheon, Paris, France [1996]
2Was a personal favorite of Ayn Rand, who was inspired to become a writer from reading his books.
3His novel Les Miserables became a hit among Confederate soldiers during the American Civil War. In fact, in reference to the novel, they often referred to themselves as "Lee's Miserables." Ironically, Hugo was anything but a southern sympathizer. He wrote a strongly worded public letter condemning the U.S. government for the then-pending execution of abolitionist John Brown, and even created a painting of the tragic event itself.
4The publication of Les Miserables led to the shortest ever correspondence at that point in history. Hugo was in England when it was published, and therefore didn't know how successful it would be. His single-character telegraph to his publisher was simply a question mark, signifying that he was asking how the publication was going. His publisher indicated it was a hit with a single-character response: an exclamation point.
5The appearance of Gwynplaine, the hero of The Man Who Laughs; especially as portrayed by Conrad Veidt, was the inspiration for the appearance of Batman's greatest enemy, The Joker.
6In addition to having been adapted into a hit stage musical, Les Miserables has also been the basis for two hit television series. Roy Higgins modeled Richard Kimble, the main character of The Fugitive, on Jean Valjean. His pursuer, Gerard, was so named because it sounded similar to Javert. This was also used as the basis for Dr. Banner moving from town to town in The Incredible Hulk, with Javert as the basis for his pursuer, journalist Jack McGee.
7His remains were interred at the Pantheon in Paris, France.
8In 1884, just months before his death, Hugo visited the massive construction site of The Statue of Liberty. He was said to be impressed and said "The idea, it is everything.".
9He won a seat in the National Assembly in 1871, but soon resigned out of frustration with the political process.
10In 1848, he announced his candidacy for president of the French Republic, but he got very few votes.
11Philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche included Hugo in his list of "impossible people", describing him as "a lighthouse in a sea of absurdity."
12He was at the bedside of Honoré de Balzac when he died.
13Children: Léopold (16 July - 10 October 1823); Léopoldine (28 August 1824 - 4 September 1843); Charles (4 November 1826 - 13 March 1871); François-Victor (28 October 1828 - 26 December 1873); Adèle (24 August 1830 - 21 April 1915). Some biographers give Charles's birth date as 3 November 1826, and Adèle's as 28 July 1830. Adèle's unrequited love for an English soldier was the basis of the film The Story of Adele H (1975).
14Mortified to be descended from commoners - his father was a soldier who rose to be a general in Napoléon Bonaparte's army; his mother was the daughter of a sea captain - he "adopted" more illustrious Hugo ancestors, and designed a crest for himself with the words "Ego Hugo."
15"Les Misérables" is the source for 48 operas; "Notre Dame de Paris" (The Hunchback of Notre Dame) is the source for 16 operas.
16His brother, Eugène, went mad when Hugo married Adèle Fourcher, whom the brothers had known since childhood and whom Eugène was secretly in love with. He died at Charenton Asylum on 20 February 1837.
17Had a mistress, Juliette Gauvain (aka Juliette Drouet), for 50 years, although he had many other affairs. He escaped sentencing for adultery in 1845 by royal pardon. His wife, Adèle, became involved with critic Charles Augustin Sainte-Beuve shortly after their marriage, although the nature of the relationship is uncertain.
18Appointed Pair de France. (1845)
