More quotes by Victor Hugo
Take all reasonable advantage of that which the present may offer you. It is the only time which is ours. Yesterday is buried forever, and to-morrow we may never see.
Victor Hugo
An increase of tenderness always ended by boiling over and turning to indignation. He was at the point where we seek to adopt a course, and to accept what tears us apart.
Victor Hugo
I will be Chateaubriand or nothing.
Victor Hugo
Caution is the eldest child of wisdom.
Victor Hugo
There are souls which, crab-like, crawl continually toward darkness, going back in life rather than advancing in it, using what experience they have to increase their deformity, growing worse without ceasing, and becoming steeped more and more thoroughly in an intensifying wickedness.
Victor Hugo
I have been loving you a little more every minute since this morning.
Victor Hugo
Where no plan is laid, where the disposal of time is surrendered merely to the chance of incident, chaos will soon reign.
Victor Hugo
It is God who makes woman beautiful, it is the devil who makes her pretty.
Victor Hugo
Wherever the Turkish hoof trods, no grass grows.
Victor Hugo
In the Twentieth Century war will be dead, the scaffold will be dead, hatred will be dead, frontier boundaries will be dead, dogmas will be dead man will live. He will possess something higher than all these-a great country, the whole earth, and a great hope, the whole heaven.
Victor Hugo
He who opens a school door, closes a prison.
Victor Hugo
If I have not been exposed and am not in any danger of pursuit. But I have been exposed, I am pursued - by myself! That is a pursuer that does not readily let go.
Victor Hugo
And so, being in Heaven, it was easy for him to lose sight of earth.
Victor Hugo
Loving is almost a substitute for thinking. Love is a burning forgetfulness of all other things. How shall we ask passion to be logical?
Victor Hugo
To be wicked does not insure prosperity - for the inn did not succeed well.
Victor Hugo
A queen, devoid of beauty is not queen She needs the royalty of beauty's mien.
Victor Hugo
The saints were his friends, and blessed him the monsters were his friends, and guarded him.
Victor Hugo
Teach the ignorant as much as you can society is culpable in not providing a free education for all and it must answer for the night which it produces. If the soul is left in darkness sins will be committed. The guilty one is not he who commits the sin, but he who causes the darkness.
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
God put in man thought society, action nature, revery.
Victor Hugo
