Image
God became man, granted. The devil became a woman.
Victor Hugo
Image
To be wicked does not insure prosperity - for the inn did not succeed well.
Victor Hugo
Image
There are moments when a rope's end, a pole, the branch of the tree, is life itself, and it is a frightful thing to see a living being lose his hold upon it, and fall like a ripe fruit.
Victor Hugo
Image
It is the essence of truth that it is never excessive. Why should it exaggerate? There is that which should be destroyed and that which should be simply illuminated and studied. How great is the force of benevolent and searching examination! We must not resort to the flame where only light is required.
Victor Hugo
Image
by making himself a priest made himself a demon.
Victor Hugo
Image
Monastic incarceration is castration.
Victor Hugo
Image
Genius is rare because the means of becoming one have not been available
Victor Hugo
Image
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
Image
To commit the least possible sin is the law for man. To live without sin is the dream of an angel. Everything terrestrial is subject to sin. Sin is a gravitation.
Victor Hugo
Image
If a writer wrote merely for his time, I would have to break my pen and throw it away.
Victor Hugo
Image
To rove about, musing, that is to say loitering, is, for a philosopher, a good way of spending time, especially in that kind of mock rurality, ugly but odd, and partaking of two natures, which surrounds certain large cities, particularly Paris.
Victor Hugo
Image
A stout heart may be ruined in fortune but not in spirit.
Victor Hugo
Image
Adversity makes men, and prosperity makes monsters.
Victor Hugo
Image
Despots play their part in the works of thinkers. Fettered words are terrible words. The writer doubles and trebles the power of his writing when a ruler imposes silence on the people. Something emerges from that enforced silence, a mysterious fullness which filters through and becomes steely in the thought.
Victor Hugo
Image
I'm not in the world to guard my own life, but to guard souls
Victor Hugo
Image
Between the government which does evil and the people who accept it - there is a certain shameful solidarity.
Victor Hugo
Image
Let us fear the worst, but work with faith the best will always take care of itself.
Victor Hugo
Image
At least you are mine! Soon – in a few months, perhaps, my angel will sleep in my arms, will awaken in my arms, will live there. All your thought at all moments, all your looks will be for me all my thought, all my moments, all my looks will be for you!
Victor Hugo
Image
No man is more unhappy than the one who is never in adversity the greatest affliction of life is never to be afflicted.
Victor Hugo
Image
We are reassured almost as foolishly as we are alarmed human nature is so constituted.
Victor Hugo
