More quotes by Victor Hugo
Is it not a thing divine to have a smile which, none know how, has the power to lighten the weight of that enormous chain which all the living in common drag behind them?
Victor Hugo
A house is built of logs and stone, of tiles and posts and piers a home is built of loving deeds that stand a thousand years.
Victor Hugo
A day will come when a cannon will be exhibited in museums, just as instruments of torture are now, and the people will be astonished that such a thing could have been.
Victor Hugo
The convent is supreme egotism resulting in supreme self-denial.
Victor Hugo
To rise from error to truth is rare and beautiful.
Victor Hugo
Never laugh at those who suffer suffer sometimes those who laugh.
Victor Hugo
I write with one hand, but I fight with both.
Victor Hugo
It is grievous for a man to leave behind him a shadow in his own shape.

Victor Hugo
A joyous little creature, so beautiful, It was as if a gate of Heaven opened as she came in.
Victor Hugo
Woman, nude, is the blue sky. Clouds and garments are an obstacle to contemplation. Beauty and infinity would be gazed upon unveiled.
Victor Hugo
I am in the night. There is a being who has gone away and carried the heavens with her. Oh! to be laid side by side in the same tomb, hand clasped in hand, and from time to time, in the darkness, to caress a finger gently, that would suffice for my eternity.
Victor Hugo
There are many tongues to talk, and but few heads to think.
Victor Hugo
Liberation is not deliverance.
Victor Hugo
Creation lives, grows, and multiplies man is but a witness.
Victor Hugo
Have no fear of robbers or murderers. They are external dangers, petty dangers. We should fear ourselves. Prejudices are the real robbers vices the real murderers. The great dangers are within us. Why worry about what threatens our heads or our purses? Let us think instead of what threatens our souls.
Victor Hugo
Hypocrisy is nothing, in fact, but a horrible hopefulness.
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
The holy law of Jesus Christ governs our civilisation, but it does not yet permeate it.
Victor Hugo
Emergencies have always been necessary to progress. It was darkness which produced the lamp. It was fog that produced the compass. It was hunger that drove us to exploration. And it took a depression to teach us the real value of a job.
Victor Hugo
