Quote for the Day – Victor Hugo

“The ideal is nothing but the culminating point of logic, the same as the beautiful is nothing but the summit of the true. Artistic peoples are also consistent peoples. To love beauty is to see the light…   It is an admirable thing that the poetry of a people is the element of its progress. The amount of civilization is measured by the quantity of imagination.”~~ Victor Hugo
