More From Victor Hugo

Let me just acknowlege that the function of grammar is to make language as efficent and clear and transparent as possible. but if we’re all constantly correcting each other’s grammar and being really snotty about it, then people stop talking because they start to be petrified that they’re going to make some sort of terrible grammatical error and that’s precisely the opposite of what grammar is supposed to do, which is to facilitate clear communication.
Communication Errors Talking
Grammar is a piano i play by ear. all i know about grammar is its power.
Music Power English Grammar
It takes more time and effort and delicacy to learn the silence of a people than to learn its sounds. some people have a special gift for this. perhaps this explains why some missionaries, notwithstanding their efforts, never come to speak properly, to communicate delicately through silences. although they "speak with the accent of natives" they remain forever thousands of miles away. the learning of the grammar of silence is an art much more difficult to learn than the grammar of sounds.

Everything said, you couldn't hope for a nicer day to have a half dozen ex-soldiers with hunting bows relieve you of everything you owned.
Hunting Soldier Half
Crimes were committed to punish crimes, and crimes were committed to prevent crimes. the world has been filled with prisons and dungeons, with chains and whips, with crosses and gibbets, with thumbscrews and racks, with hangmen and heads-men — and yet these frightful means and instrumentalities have committed far more crimes than they have prevented.... ignorance, filth, and poverty are the missionaries of crime. as long as dishonorable success outranks honest effort — as long as society bows and cringes before the great thieves, there will be little ones enough to fill the jails.
Ignorance Mean Men

In the banking concept of education, knowledge is a gift bestowed by those who consider themselves knowledgeable upon those whom they consider to know nothing... the teacher presents himself to his students as their necessary opposite; by considering their ignorance absolute, he justifies his own existence.
Teacher Ignorance Opposites
There is no sin but ignorance.
Ignorance Sin
The origin of all science is the desire to know causes, and the origin of all false science is the desire to accept false causes rather than none; or, which is the same thing, in the unwillingness to acknowledge our own ignorance.
Ignorance Knowledge Science
