A quotation from Hugo What was the crime? To complain. What was the crime? To suffer. Let misery hide and be silent, otherwise it is lèse-majesté.   [Quel était l’attentat? se plaindre. Quel était le crime? souffrir. Que la misère se cache et se taise, sinon elle est lèse-majesté.] Victor Hugo (1802–1885) French writer, journalist, human rights activist, politician The Man Who Laughs [L’Homme qui rit; The Laughing Man; By Order of the King], Part 2, Book 9, ch. 2 (.2.9.2) (1869) [tr. Lavelle (2003)] More about (and translations of) this quote: wist.info/hugo-victor/85062/ #quote #quotes #quotation #qotd #hugo #victorhugo #themanwholaughs #complaint #coverup #establishment #lesemajeste #misery #power #protest #suffering #treason #willfulignorance
