There must be people who pray even for those who never pray.
Victor Hugo
Image
There is suffering in the light in excess it burns. Flame is hostile to the wing. To burn and yet to fly, this is the miracle of genius.
Victor Hugo
Image
There are no rules for felicity.

Why worry about what threatens our heads or purses? Let us think instead of what threatens our souls.
Victor Hugo
Image
A wretched woman is more unfortunate than a wretched man.
Victor Hugo
Image
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
Image
These are dark radiances. They have no suspicion that they are to be pitied. Certainly they are so. He who does not weep does not see. They are to be admired and pitied, as one would both pity and admire a being at once night and day, without eyes beneath his lashes but with a star on his brow.
Victor Hugo
Image
Let us study things that are no more. It is necessary to understand them, if only to avoid them.
Victor Hugo

A wedding is not house-keeping.
Victor Hugo
Image
Should we continue to look upwards? Is the light we can see in the sky one of those which will presently be extinguished? The ideal is terrifying to behold... brilliant but threatened on all sides by the dark forces that surround it: nevertheless, no more in danger than a star in the jaws of the clouds.
Victor Hugo
Image
At a certain depth of distress, the poor, in their stupor, groan no longer over evil, and are no longer thankful for good.
Victor Hugo
Image
Human society, the world, and the whole of mankind is to be found in the alphabet.
Victor Hugo
Image
That is the explanation of war, an outrage by humanity upon humanity in despite of humanity.
Victor Hugo
