Men like me are impossible until the day when they become necessary.
Victor Hugo
Image
The soul has illusions as the bird has wings: it is supported by them.
Victor Hugo
Image
A stout heart may be ruined in fortune but not in spirit.
Victor Hugo
Image
What I feel for you seems less of earth and more of a cloudless heaven.
Victor Hugo
Image
To see so much misery everywhere, I suspect that God is not rich. He keeps up appearances, it is true, but I feel the pinch. He gives a revolution as a merchant, whose credit is low, gives a ball.
Victor Hugo
Image
Mirrors, those revealers of the truth, are hated that does not prevent them from being of use.
Victor Hugo
Image
God became man, granted. The devil became a woman.
Victor Hugo

Never laugh at those who suffer suffer sometimes those who laugh.

Idleness is a mother. She has a son, robbery, and a daughter, hunger.
Victor Hugo
Image
One sometimes says: 'He killed himself because he was bored with life.' One ought rather to say: 'He killed himself because he was bored by lack of life.'
Victor Hugo
Image
Reason is intelligence taking exercise. Imagination is intelligence with an erection.
Victor Hugo
Image
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
Image
Amnesty is as good for those who give it as for those who receive it. It has the admirable quality of bestowing mercy on both sides.
Victor Hugo
Image
Love is like a tree: it grows by itself, roots itself deeply in our being and continues to flourish over a heart in ruin. The inexplicable fact is that the blinder it is, the more tenacious it is. It is never stronger than when it is completely unreasonable.
Victor Hugo
Image
Dark Error's other hidden side is truth.
Victor Hugo
Image
I'm religiously opposed to religion.
Victor Hugo
Image
To introduce a new play only six weeks after another has been banned is also a way to speak one's piece to the government. It proves that art and liberty can grow back in one night under the clumsy foot which crushes them.
