Tao Te Ching

“In the twentieth century, war will be dead, the scaffold will be dead, animosity will be dead, royalty will be dead, and dogmas will be dead; but Man will live. For all there will be but one country—that country the whole earth; for all there will be but one hope—that hope the whole heaven.”

— Victor Hugo 1802 – 1885 CE
Literary pioneer, poet, and social justice provocateur
