More quotes by Victor Hugo
God is behind everything, but everything hides God.
Victor Hugo
A day will come when there will be no battlefields, but markets opening to commerce and minds opening to ideas.
Victor Hugo
Stupidity talks, vanity acts.
Victor Hugo
The memory of an absent person shines in the deepest recesses of the heart, shining the more brightly the more wholly its object has vanished: a light on the horizon of the despairing, darkened spirit a star gleaming in our inward night.
Victor Hugo
There have been in this century only one great man and one great thing: Napoleon and liberty. For want of the great man, let us have the great thing.
Victor Hugo
Winter is on my head, but eternal spring is in my heart I breathe at this hour the fragrance of the lilacs, the violets, and the roses, as at twenty years ago.
Victor Hugo
Primitive times are lyrical, ancient times epical, modern times dramatic. The ode sings of eternity, the epic imparts solemnity tohistory, the drama depicts life. The characteristic of the first poetry is ingeniousness, of the second, simplicity, of the third, truth.
Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
I see black light (his last words)
Victor Hugo
This child whom we Love, Brings daylight Into our soul.
Victor Hugo
Nothing is more imminent than the impossible . . . what we must always foresee is the unforeseen.
Victor Hugo
This book should be read as one would read the book of a dead man.
Victor Hugo
Fame must have enemies, as light must have gnats.
Victor Hugo
A criminal remains a criminal whether he uses a convict's suit or a monarch's crown.
Victor Hugo
Every good quality runs into a defect economy borders on avarice, the generous are not far from the prodigal, the brave man is close to the bully he who is very pious is slightly sanctimonious there are just as many vices to virtue as there are holes in the mantle of Diogenes.
Victor Hugo
A joyous little creature, so beautiful, It was as if a gate of Heaven opened as she came in.
Victor Hugo
A wretched woman is more unfortunate than a wretched man.
Victor Hugo
You preserve your shame but you kill your glory.
Victor Hugo
Music is the vapor of art. It is to poetry what reverie is to thought, what fluid is to solid, what the ocean of clouds is to the ocean of waves.
Victor Hugo
He who despairs is wrong.
Victor Hugo
