Victor Hugo (1802-1885)

There shall be no slavery of the mind.
-- Victor Hugo, footnote to Robert Green Ingersoll's "The Limitations of Toleration" (Works VII:217)
There is in every village a torch: the schoolmaster -- and an extinguisher: the parson.
-- Victor Hugo, from Rufus K Noyes, Views of Religion, quoted from James A Haught, ed., 2000 Years of Disbelief
