Quote by Victor Hugo

Every blade has two edges; he who wounds with one wounds himself with the other.

Every blade has two edges; he who wounds with one wounds him

Summary

This quote suggests that every action has consequences. Just like how a blade can cut both ways, hurting the intended target but also injuring the person wielding it, our words or actions can harm not only others but ourselves as well. It encourages us to be mindful of this duality and consider the impact our actions may have. Hurting someone else may eventually bring harm back upon ourselves, emphasizing the importance of treating others with empathy and kindness.

When a bachelor of philosophy from the Antilles refuses to apply for certification as a teacher on the grounds of his color I say that philosophy has never saved anyone. When someone else strives and strains to prove to me that black men are as intelligent as white men I say that intelligence has never saved anyone: and that is true, for, if philosophy and intelligence are invoked to proclaim the equality of men, they have also been employed to justify the extermination of men.
