More quotes by Victor Hugo

Image
One can no more keep the mind from returning to an idea than the sea from returning to a shore. For a sailor, this is called the tide in the case of the guilty it is called remorse. God stirs up the soul as well as the ocean.
Victor Hugo
Image
In the animal world no creature born to be a dove turns into a scavenger. This happens only among men.
Victor Hugo
Image
Our mind is enriched by what we receive, our heart by what we give.
Victor Hugo
Image
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
Image
Joie est mon caractere, C'est la faute a Voltaire Misere est mon trousseau C'est la faute a Rousseau. [Joy is my character, 'Tis the fault of Voltaire Misery is my trousseau 'Tis the fault of Rousseau.] - Gavroche

Crime is redeemed by remorse, but not by a blow of the axe or slipknot. Blood has to be washed by tears but not by blood.
Victor Hugo
Image
People do not lack strength they lack will.

If you would civilize a man, begin with his grandmother.
Victor Hugo
Image
When we are at the end of life, to die means to go away when we are at the beginning, to go away means to die.
Victor Hugo
Image
You look at a star for two reasons, because it is luminous, and because it is impenetrable. You have beside you a sweeter radiance and a greater mystery, woman.
Victor Hugo
Image
A stout heart may be ruined in fortune but not in spirit.
Victor Hugo
Image
Every blade has two edges he who wounds with one wounds himself with the other.
Victor Hugo
Image
Our acts make or mar us, we are the children of our own deeds.
Victor Hugo
Image
What dangers you run, O noble souls! Often, you give your heart, but we take only your body. Your heart is left to you and you look at it in the shadows and shudder.
Victor Hugo
Image
When God desires to destroy a thing, he entrusts its destruction to the thing itself. Every bad institution of this world ends by suicide.
Victor Hugo
Image
The left-handed are precious they take places which are inconvenient for the rest.
Victor Hugo
Image
There are souls which, crab-like, crawl continually toward darkness, going back in life rather than advancing in it, using what experience they have to increase their deformity, growing worse without ceasing, and becoming steeped more and more thoroughly in an intensifying wickedness.
Victor Hugo
Image
He was fond of books, for they are cool and sure friends
Victor Hugo

Joy is the reflex of terror.
Victor Hugo
Image
Friendship exists outside our modern economy of scarcity... It's not about apportioning vanishing resources of time and energy. Friendship is a blessed relic of the ancient economy of the gift, and the time freely given to people dear to you actually creates magical abundance.
