Image
...Though we chisel away as best we can at the mysterious block from which our life is made, the black vein of destiny continually reappears.
Victor Hugo
Image
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
Image
Primitive times are lyrical, ancient times epical, modern times dramatic. The ode sings of eternity, the epic imparts solemnity tohistory, the drama depicts life. The characteristic of the first poetry is ingeniousness, of the second, simplicity, of the third, truth.
Victor Hugo
Image
Emergencies have always been necessary to progress. It was darkness which produced the lamp. It was fog that produced the compass. It was hunger that drove us to exploration. And it took a depression to teach us the real value of a job.
Victor Hugo

The spirit of God, like the sun, always gives all its light at once. The spirit of man resembles the pale moon, which has its phases, its absences and its returns, its lucidity and its spots, its fullness and its disappearance, which borrows all its light from the rays of the sun, and which still dares to intercept them on occasion.
Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
Image
You have enemies? Why, it is the story of every man who has done a great deed or created a new idea. It is the cloud which thunders around everything that shines. Fame must have enemies, as light must have gnats. Do no bother yourself about it disdain. Keep your mind serene as you keep your life clear.
Victor Hugo
Image
Not ill? No truly, I am young, healthful, and strong the blood flows freely in my veins my limbs obey my will I am robust in mind and body, constituted for a long life. Yes, all this is true and yet, nevertheless, I have an illness, a fatal illness,-an illness given by the hand of man!

I don't mind what Congress does, as long as they don't do it in the streets and frighten the horses.
