More quotes by Victor Hugo
Let us study things that are no more. It is necessary to understand them, if only to avoid them.
Victor Hugo
The convent, which belongs to the West as it does to the East, to antiquity as it does to the present time, to Buddhism and Muhammadanism as it does to Christianity, is one of the optical devices whereby man gains a glimpse of infinity.
Victor Hugo
Art needs no spur beyond itself.
Victor Hugo
A day will come when markets, open to trade, and minds, open to ideas, will become the sole battlefield.
Victor Hugo
Is it not when the fall is the lowest that charity ought to be the greatest?
Victor Hugo
Yes, instruction! Light! Light! Everything comes from light, and to everything it returns.
Victor Hugo
Melancholy is the pleasure of being sad.
Victor Hugo
The thirst for the Infinite proves infinity.
Victor Hugo
She was sad with an obscure sadness of which she had not the secret herself. There was in her whole person the stupor of a life ended but never commenced.
Victor Hugo
Love is reducing the universe to one being.
Victor Hugo
You preserve your shame but you kill your glory.
Victor Hugo
And so, being in Heaven, it was easy for him to lose sight of earth.
Victor Hugo
We shall look on crime as a disease, and its physicians shall displace the judges, its hospitals displace the Galleys. Liberty and health shall be alike. We shall pour balm and oil where we formerly applied iron and fire evil will be treated in charity, instead of in anger. This change will be simple and sublime.
Victor Hugo
The production of souls is the secret of unfathomable depth.
Victor Hugo
How frightened hypocrisy hastens to defend itself.
Victor Hugo
The most terrible of motives and the most unanswerable of responses: Because.
Victor Hugo
The most excellent symbol of the people is the paving stone. One walks on it until it falls on one's head.
Victor Hugo
It is the essence of truth that it is never excessive. Why should it exaggerate? There is that which should be destroyed and that which should be simply illuminated and studied. How great is the force of benevolent and searching examination! We must not resort to the flame where only light is required.
Victor Hugo
Because a fact seems strange to you, you conclude that it is not one. ... All science, however, commences by being strange. Science is successive. It goes from one wonder to another. It mounts by a ladder. The science of to-day would seem extravagant to the science of a former time. Ptolemy would believe Newton mad.
Victor Hugo
For there are many great deeds done in the small struggles of life.
Victor Hugo
