More quotes by Victor Hugo
My misfortune is that I still resemble a man too much. I should liked to be wholly a beast like that goat. - Quasimodo
Victor Hugo
Style is the substance of the subject called unceasingly to the surface.
Victor Hugo
Nothing is so stifling as symmetry. Symmetry is boredom, the quintessence of mourning. Despair yawns. There is something more terrible than a hell of suffering - a hell of boredom.
Victor Hugo
Nothing discernible to the eye of the spirit is more brilliant or obscure than man nothing is more formidable, complex, mysterious, and infinite. There is a prospect greater than the sea, and it is the sky there is a prospect greater than the sky, and it is the human soul.
Victor Hugo
Men become accustomed to poison by degrees.
Victor Hugo
The holy law of Jesus Christ governs our civilisation, but it does not yet permeate it.
Victor Hugo
Fame must have enemies, as light must have gnats.
Victor Hugo
Ah! There you are! he exclaimed, looking at Jean Valjean. I'm so glad to see you. Well, but how is this? I gave you the candlesticks too, which are of silver like the rest, and for which you can certainly get two hundred francs. Why did you not carry them away with your forks and spoons?
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
The aim of art is almost divine: to bring to life again if it is writing history, to create if it is writing poetry.
Victor Hugo
There is nothing like a dream to create the future.
Victor Hugo
True or false, that which is said of men often occupies as important a place in their lives, and above all in their destinies, as that which they do.
Victor Hugo
To rise at six, to dine at ten, To sup at six, to sleep at ten, Makes a man live for ten times ten.
Victor Hugo
The tomb is not a blind alley: it is a thoroughfare. It closes on the twilight. It opens on the dawn.
Victor Hugo
Each man should frame life so that at some future hour fact and his dreaming meet.
Victor Hugo
When dictatorship is a fact, revolution becomes a right.
Victor Hugo
It is an unpleasant thing to go to bed without supper, it is a still less pleasant thing not to sup and not to know where one is to sleep.
Victor Hugo
The first symptom of true love in a man is timidity, in a young woman, boldness. This is surprising, and yet nothing is more simple. It is the two sexes tending to approach each other and assuming each the other's qualities.
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
The mind's eye can nowhere find anything more dazzling or more dark than in man it can fix itself upon nothing which is more awful, more complex, more mysterious, or more infinite. There is one spectacle grander than the sea, that is the sky there is one spectacle grander than the sky, that is the interior of the soul.
Victor Hugo
