"The learned man knows that he is..." - Quote by Victor Hugo

“They say love is blindness of heart; I say not to love is blindness.”

“A fixed idea ends in madness or heroism.”

“I am an intelligent river which has reflected successively all the banks before which it has flowed by meditating only on the images offered by those changing shores.”

“Those who have knowledge are more confident than those who have no knowledge, and they are more confident after they have learned than before.”

“Ignorance is not bliss. Ignorance is poverty. Ignorance is devastation. Ignorance is tragedy. And ignorance is illness. It all stems from ignorance.”

“An educated person, I think, is one who not only knows a lot, but knows how to do a lot of things.”

“The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who cannot read them.”

“We make trifles of terrors,Ensconcing ourselves into seeming knowledge,When we should submit ourselves to an unknown fear.”

“Not to know what has been transacted in former times is to be always a child. If no use is made of the labors of past ages, the world must remain always in the infancy of knowledge.”
