Image
The sunshine was delightful, the foliage gently astir, more from the activity of birds than from the breeze. One gallant little bird, doubtless lovelorn, was singing his heart out at the top of a tall tree.
Victor Hugo
Image
Beauty is as useful as the useful. More so, perhaps. (Le beau est aussi utile que l'utile. Plus peut-etre.)
Victor Hugo
Image
It is only barbarous nations who have a sudden growth after a victory
Victor Hugo
Image
Nobody knows like a woman how to say things at the same time sweet and profound. Sweetness and depth, this is all of woman this is all of Heaven.
Victor Hugo
Image
Love, thine is the future. Death, I use thee, but I hate thee. Citizens, there shall be in the future neither darkness nor thunderbolts neither ferocious ignorance nor blood for blood.
Victor Hugo
Image
Peace is the virtue of civilization. War is its crime.
Victor Hugo
Image
There is a way of meeting error while on the road of truth.

Image
The true artist can only labor con amore.
Victor Hugo
Image
Style is the substance of the subject called unceasingly to the surface.
Victor Hugo
Image
I like the laughter that opens the lips and the heart, shows at the same time the pearls and the soul.
Victor Hugo
Image
France is great because she is France.
Victor Hugo
Image
Large, heavy, ragged black clouds hung like crape hammocks beneath the starry cope of the night. You would have said that they were the cobwebs of the firmament.
Victor Hugo
Image
It is the essence of truth that it is never excessive.... We must not resort to the flame where only light is required.
Victor Hugo
Image
A day will come when markets, open to trade, and minds, open to ideas, will become the sole battlefield.
Victor Hugo
Image
Man's greatest actions are performed in minor struggles. Life, misfortune, isolation, abandonment and poverty are battlefields which have their heroes - obscure heroes who are at times greater than illustrious heroes.
Victor Hugo
Image
In this world, which is so plainly the antechamber of another, there are no happy men. The true division of humanity is between those who live in light and those who live in darkness. Our aim must be to diminish the number of the latter and increase the number of the former. That is why we demand education and knowledge.
Victor Hugo
Image
To love or have loved is all-sufficing. We must not ask for more. No other pearl is to be found in the shadowfolds of life. To love is an accomplishment.
Victor Hugo
Image
Her soul trembled on her lips like a drop of dew on a flower.
Victor Hugo
Image
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.
