More quotes by Victor Hugo
A shadow is hard to seize by the throat and dash to the ground.
Victor Hugo
No matter who you are, the thought of so much suffering and degradation must cause you to shudder at the sight of a veil or cassock, those two shrouds of human invention.
Victor Hugo
Liberation is not deliverance.
Victor Hugo
The need of the immaterial is the most deeply rooted of all needs. One must have bread but before bread, one must have the ideal.
Victor Hugo
To meditate is to labour to think is to act. Folded arms work, closed hands perform, a gaze fixed on heaven is a toil.
Victor Hugo
We are not loved by our friends for what we are rather, we are loved in spite of what we are.
Victor Hugo
A man trying to escape never thinks himself sufficiently concealed.
Victor Hugo
The persistence of an all-absorbing idea is terrible.
Victor Hugo
The animal is ignorant of the fact that he knows. The man is aware of the fact that he is ignorant.
Victor Hugo
The realities of life do not allow themselves to be forgotten.
Victor Hugo
What is history? An echo of the past in the future a reflex from the future on the past.
Victor Hugo
There is a sacred horror about everything grand. It is easy to admire mediocrity and hills but whatever is too lofty, a genius as well as a mountain, an assembly as well as a masterpiece, seen too near, is appalling.
Victor Hugo
Die, very good, but do not make others die. Suicides like the one which is about to take place here are sublime, but suicide is restricted, and does not allow of extension and so soon as it affects your neighbors, suicide becomes murder.
Victor Hugo
I believe, sir, in all the progress. Air navigation is the result of the oceanic navigation: from water the human has to pass in the air. Everywhere where creation will be breathable to him, the human will penetrate into the creation. Our only limit is life.
Victor Hugo
For, to make deserts, God, who rules mankind, Begins with kings, and ends the work by wind.
Victor Hugo
Dreaming is happiness. Waiting is life.
Victor Hugo
Sublime upon sublime scarcely presents a contrast, and we need a little rest from everything, even the beautiful.
Victor Hugo
We are for religion against the religions.
Victor Hugo
There is no such thing as a little country. The greatness of a people is no more determined by their numbers than the greatness of a man is by his height.
Victor Hugo
There is one spectacle grander than the sea, That is the sky.
Victor Hugo
