More quotes by Victor Hugo
Puns are the droppings of soaring wits.
Victor Hugo
Close by the Rights of Man, at the least set beside them, are the Rights of the Spirit.
Victor Hugo
A language does not become fixed. The human intellect is always on the march, or, if you prefer, in movement, and languages with it.
Victor Hugo
Emotion is always new.
Victor Hugo
And do you know Monsieur Marius? I believe I was a little in love with you.
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
We are for religion against the religions.
Victor Hugo
Superstition, bigotry and prejudice, ghosts though they are, cling tenaciously to life they are shades armed with tooth and claw. They must be grappled with unceasingly, for it is a fateful part of human destiny that it is condemned to wage perpetual war against ghosts. A shade is not easily taken by the throat and destroyed.
Victor Hugo
If God had intended that man should go backward, he would have given him eyes in the back of his head.
Victor Hugo
To be a saint is the exception to be a just person is the rule. Err, stumble, commit sin, but be one of the just.
Victor Hugo
He was fond of books, for they are cool and sure friends
Victor Hugo
The power of a glance has been so much abused in love stories, that it has come to be disbelieved in. Few people dare now to say that two beings have fallen in love because they have looked at each other. Yet it is in this way that love begins, and in this way only.
Victor Hugo
He left her. She was dissatisfied with him. He had preferred to incur her anger rather than cause her pain. He had kept all the pain for himself.
Victor Hugo
And then, strange to say, the first symptom of true love in a young man is timidity in a girl, it is boldness.
Victor Hugo
There is no rapture in the love which is prompted by esteem such affection is lasting, not passionate.
Victor Hugo
A stand can be made against invasion by an army no stand can be made against invasion by an idea.
Victor Hugo
By putting forward the hands of the clock you shall not advance the hour.
Victor Hugo
Without at all invalidating what we have just said, we believe that a perpetual remembrance of the tomb is proper for the living. On this point, the priest and the philosopher agree: We must die.
Victor Hugo
Conscience is God present in man.
Victor Hugo
No religion but blasphemes a little.
Victor Hugo
