The grandest productions of architecture are not so much individual as social works, rather the offspring of nations in labour than the inventions of genius. - Victor Hugo (The Hunchback of Notre-Dame Quotes)

The grandest productions of architecture are not so much individual as social works, rather the offspring of nations in labour than the inventions of genius.[Les plus grands produits de l’architecture sont moins des œuvres individuelles que des œuvres sociales; plutôt l’enfantement des peuples en travail que le jet des hommes de génie.]
