Have but luck, and you will have the rest be fortunate, and you will be thought great.
Victor Hugo
Image
Dry happiness is like dry bread. We eat, but we do not dine. I wish for the superfluous, for the useless, for the extravagant, for the too much, for that which is not good for anything.
Victor Hugo
Image
I am a soul. I know well that what I shall render up to the grave is not myself. That which is myself will go elsewhere. Earth, thou art not my abyss!

Victor Hugo
Image
Great blunders are often made, like large ropes, of a multitude of fibers. Take the cable thread by thread, take separately all the little determining motives, you break them one after another, and you say: that is all! Wind them and twist them together, they become an enormity.
Victor Hugo
Image
I believe, sir, in all the progress. Air navigation is the result of the oceanic navigation: from water the human has to pass in the air. Everywhere where creation will be breathable to him, the human will penetrate into the creation. Our only limit is life.
Victor Hugo
Image
History has its truth, and so has legend. Legendary truth is of another nature than historical truth. Legendary truth is invention whose result is reality. Furthermore, history and legend have the same goal to depict eternal man beneath momentary man.
Victor Hugo
Image
Everything speaks: the flowing airstream and the sailing halycon, the blade of grass, the flower, the bud, the element did you imagine the universe to be otherwise?
Victor Hugo
Image
That men saw his mask, but the bishop saw his face. That men saw his life, but the bishop saw his conscience.
