More quotes by Victor Hugo
I dislike wealth and prosperity, especially that of other men.
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
God whose gifts in gracious flood Unto all who seek are sent, Only asks you to be good And is content.
Victor Hugo
Woe, alas, to those who have loved only bodies, forms, appearances! Death will rob them of everything. Try to love souls, you will find them again.
Victor Hugo
Teach the ignorant as much as you can society is culpable in not providing a free education for all and it must answer for the night which it produces. If the soul is left in darkness sins will be committed. The guilty one is not he who commits the sin, but he who causes the darkness.
Victor Hugo
His whole life was now summed up in two words: absolute uncertainty within an impenetrable fog.
Victor Hugo
Great griefs exhaust. They discourage us with life. The man into whom they enter feels something taken from him. In youth, their visit is sad later on, it is ominous.
Victor Hugo
In winter there is no heat, no light, no noon, evening touches morning, there is fog, and mist, the window is frosted, and you cannot see clearly. The sky is but the mouth of a cave. The whole day is the cave.... Frightful season! Winter changes into stone the water of heaven and the heart of man.
Victor Hugo
It is nothing to die. It is frightful not to live.
Victor Hugo
To think is of itself to be useful it is always and in all cases a striving toward God.
Victor Hugo
A creditor is worse than a slave-owner for the master owns only your person, but a creditor owns your dignity, and can command it.
Victor Hugo
Popularity - a piece of faded tinsel, that is out of date.
Victor Hugo
The mountains, the forest, and the sea, render men savage they develop the fierce, but yet do not destroy the human.
Victor Hugo
Have courage for the great sorrows of life and patience for the small ones and when you have laboriously accomplished your daily task, go to sleep in peace.
Victor Hugo
Revolutions spring not from accident, but from necessity. A revolution is a return from the factitious to the real. It takes place because it must.
Victor Hugo
The wicked envy and hate it is their way of admiring.
Victor Hugo
If you wish to understand what Revolution is, call it Progress and if you wish to understand what Progress is, call it Tomorrow.
Victor Hugo
Whatever causes night in our souls may leave stars.
Victor Hugo
Because one doesn't like the way things are is no reason to be unjust towards God.
Victor Hugo
Since we shall love each other, I shall be great and you shall be rich.
Victor Hugo
