More quotes by Victor Hugo
To die is nothing but it is terrible not to live.
Victor Hugo
A day will come when markets, open to trade, and minds, open to ideas, will become the sole battlefield.
Victor Hugo
We must never fear robbers or murderers. They are dangers from outside, small dangers. It is ourselves we have to fear. Prejudice is the real robber, vice the real murderer. Why should we be troubled by a threat to our person or our pocket? What we have to beware of is the threat to our souls'.
Victor Hugo
A stout heart may be ruined in fortune but not in spirit.
Victor Hugo
Now, one cannot read nonsense with impunity.
Victor Hugo
Let the one fight for his flag, and the other for his ideal, and let them both imagine that they are fighting for the country the strife will be colossal.
Victor Hugo
My day's work will begin again the next morning. The tomb is not a blind alley.
Victor Hugo
Now life has killed the dream I dreamed.
Victor Hugo
Love is a fault so be it.
Victor Hugo
The day that a woman who is passing before you sheds a light upon you as she goes, you are lost, you love. You have then but one thing to do: to think of her so earnestly that she will be compelled to think of you.
Victor Hugo
The beautiful has but one type, the ugly has a thousand.
Victor Hugo
I wanted to see you again, touch you, know who you were, see if I would find you identical with the ideal image of you which had remained with me and perhaps shatter my dream with the aid of reality. -Claude Frollo
Victor Hugo
A writer is a world trapped in a person.
Victor Hugo
Slaves would be tyrants were the chance theirs.
Victor Hugo
Man lives more by affirmation than by bread.
Victor Hugo
The heart becomes heroic through passion. It is no longer composed of anything but what is pure it no longer rests upon anything but what is elevated and great.
Victor Hugo
I'm not in the world to guard my own life, but to guard souls
Victor Hugo
If God had intended that man should go backward, he would have given him eyes in the back of his head.
Victor Hugo
Jean Prouvaire was timid only in repose. Once excited, he burst forth, a sort of mirth accentuated his enthusiasm, and he was at once both laughing and lyric.
Victor Hugo
The omnipotence of evil has never resulted in anything but fruitless efforts. Our thoughts always escape from whoever tries to smother them.
Victor Hugo
