Quotes About Education

He was indulgent to women and to the poor, oppressed by the weight of society. The faults of women, children, and servants, he said, and of the weak, the poor and the ignorant, are the faults of husbands, fathers and masters, and of the strong, the rich and the learned. He also said: Teach the ignorant as much as you can. Society is to blame for not giving free education; it is responsible for the darkness it creates. The soul in darkness sins, but the real sinner is he who caused the darkness.
~ Victor Hugo
He never went out without a book under his arm and he often came home with two.
~ Victor Hugo
Teach those who are ignorant as many things as possible; society is culpable, in that it does not afford instruction gratis; it is responsible for the night which it produces If the soul is left in darkness, sins will be committed. The guilty one is not he who commits the sin, but he who causes the darkness.
~ Victor Hugo
and when one says student, one says Parisian: to study in Paris is to be born in Paris.
~ Victor Hugo
He said, moreover, Teach those who are ignorant as many things as possible; society is culpable, in that it does not afford instruction gratis; it is responsible for the night which it produces. This soul is full of shadow; sin is therein committed. The guilty one is not the person who has committed the sin, but the person who has created the shadow.
~ Victor Hugo
Die Wissenschaft muss mit glatten Wangen begonnen werden und nicht erst mit runzeligen, wenn man in ihr etwas erreichen will.
~ Victor Hugo
Equality, citizens, is not the whole of society on a level, a society of tall blades of grass and small oaks, or a number of entangled jealousies. It is, legally speaking, every aptitude having the same opportunity for a career; politically all consciences having the same right. Equality has an organ, gratuitous and compulsory education. We must begin with the right to the alphabet.
~ Victor Hugo
Dans cette vie importante il y a deux phases principales : avant la chute, après la chute ; et, sous ces deux phases, deux questions : question de l'éducation, question de la pénalité ; et, entre ces deux questions, la société tout entière.
~ Victor Hugo
Teach the ignorant as much as you possibly can: society is culpable for not giving instruction gratis, and is responsible for the night it produces. This soul s full of darkness, and sin is committed, but the guilt person is not the man who commits the sin, but he who produces the darkness.
~ Victor Hugo

To teach reading, means to light the fire; every syllable spelled out sparkles.
~ Victor Hugo
Where are your free and compulsory schools? Does every one know how to read in the land of Dante and of Michael Angelo? Have you made public schools of your barracks? Have you not, like ourselves, an opulent war-budget and a paltry budget of education?

To learn to read is to light a fire;
~ Victor Hugo
Disminuir el número de los tenebrosos, aumentar el de los luminosos; tal es el grande objeto. Por esto gritamos: ¡Enseñanza! ¡Ciencia! Aprender a leer es encender el fuego; toda sílaba deletreada brilla. Pero el que dice luz, no dice necesariamente goces. También se padece en la luz, porque el exceso quema. La llama es enemiga de las alas. Arder sin cesar de volar es el prodigio del genio.
~ Victor Hugo
Ensinem o mais possível aos que nada sabem; a sociedade é culpada de não instruir gratuitamente e responderá pela escuridão que provoca. Uma alma na sombra da ignorância comete um pecado? A culpa não é de quem o faz, mas de quem provocou a sombra.
~ Victor Hugo
All generous social irradiations spring from science, letters, arts, education. Make men, make men. Give them light that they may warm you. Sooner or later the splendid question of universal education will present itself with the irresistible authority of the absolute truth; and
~ Victor Hugo

~ Victor Hugo
A los ignorantes enseñadles lo más que podáis; la sociedad es culpable por no dar instrucción gratis; es responsable de la oscuridad que con esto produce. Si un alma sumida en las tinieblas comete un pecado, el culpable no es en realidad el que peca, sino el que no disipa las tinieblas

~ Victor Hugo
Those who are ignorant should be taught all you can teach them; society is to blame for not providing free public education; and society will answer for the obscurity it produces. If the soul is left in darkness, sin will be committed. The guilty party is not he who has sinned but he who created the darkness in the first place.
~ Victor Hugo
Yet internally, poverty, the proletariat, wages, education
~ Victor Hugo
The real human division is this: the luminous and the shady. To diminish the number of the shady, to augment the number of the luminous,—that is the object. That is why we cry: Education! science! To teach reading, means to light the fire; every syllable spelled out sparkles.
~ Victor Hugo
Teach the ignorant as much as you can; society is culpable in not providing instruction for all and it must answer for the night which it produces. If the soul is left in darkness, sins will be committed. The guilty one is not he who commits the sin, but he who causes the darkness.
~ Victor Hugo
