->''"There is much we can learn from history. Usually, when we say that, we mean we can learn from the mistakes of our past. In this case, however, we must learn from its successes."''

->''A certain man once kept striking [[Creator/{{Socrates}} Socrates, the son of Sophroniscus]], in the face, yet he did not resent it, but allowed full play to the ruffian's anger, so that his face was swollen and bruised from the blows. Then when he stopped striking him, Socrates did nothing more than write on his forehead, as an artisan on a statue, who did it, and thus took out his revenge. Since these examples almost coincide with our teachings, I hold that such men are worthy of emulation. For this conduct of Socrates is akin to the precept that [[UsefulNotes/{{Jesus}} to him who smites you upon the one cheek, you shall turn the other also]] — thus much may you be avenged; the conduct of Pericles and of Euclid also conforms to the precept: [[Literature/TheFourGospels 'Submit to those who persecute you, and endure their wrath with meekness;' and to the other: 'Pray for your enemies and curse them not.']] One who has been instructed in the pagan examples will no longer hold the Christian precepts impracticable.''

->''"It's still a cut above what people give it credit for and I think it would be more appreciated if it came out today. Because we need stories like this today. Fasci abusive Frollo, justice for the oppressed, the focus on how some men really do loathe the object of their desire, the wholesale demonization of ethnic groups. Maybe this movie wasn't really appreciated in its time because it didn't resonate as much in 1996, but it does ressonate more in 2017. [...] And consider that hokey as it may be at points, like Hugo's message about the importance of architecutre in the 1830's, this might be what we need in our time."''
