“A stand can be made against invasion by an army; no stand can be made against invasion by an idea”
— Victor Hugo

Simplified Meaning:
When a country is attacked by soldiers, the people can fight back with their own army. However, when a new idea spreads through society, it is much harder to stop. For example, during the civil rights movement in the United States, many people began to believe that everyone should have equal rights, regardless of skin color. This idea spread quickly, and no amount of force could stop it. Eventually, the idea led to big changes in laws and attitudes. If you have a powerful idea, it can create change in ways that weapons and armies cannot. To apply this in your life, focus on spreading positive and strong ideas to make a difference around you.
