Perseverance, secret of all triumphs.
Victor Hugo
Image
The ox suffers, the cart complains.
Victor Hugo
Image
All roads are blocked to a philosophy which reduces everything to the word no. To no there is only one answer and that is yes. Nihilism has no substance. There is no such thing as nothingness, and zero does not exist. Everything is something. Nothing is nothing. Man lives more by affirmation than by bread.
Victor Hugo
Image
Yes, instruction! Light! Light! Everything comes from light, and to everything it returns.
Victor Hugo
Image
Here we stop. Upon the threshold of wedding nights stands an angel smiling, his finger on his lip.
Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo

In saying no to progress, it is not the future which they condemn, but themselves. They give themselves a melancholy disease they inoculate themselves with the past. There is but one way of refusing tomorrow, that is to die.
Victor Hugo
Image
Genuflection before the idol or the dollar destroys the muscles which walk and the will that moves.
Victor Hugo

Who among us has not sought peace in a song?
Victor Hugo

It is the peculiarity of grief to bring out the childish side of man.
Victor Hugo
Image
Great griefs exhaust. They discourage us with life. The man into whom they enter feels something taken from him. In youth, their visit is sad later on, it is ominous.
Victor Hugo
Image
Great blunders are often made, like large ropes, of a multitude of fibers. Take the cable thread by thread, take separately all the little determining motives, you break them one after another, and you say: that is all! Wind them and twist them together, they become an enormity.
Victor Hugo
Image
Press on! A better fate awaits thee.
Victor Hugo
Image
My revenge is fraternity! No more frontiers! The Rhine for everyone! Let us be the same Republic, let us be the United States of Europe, let us be the continental federation, let us be European liberty, let us be universal peace!
Victor Hugo
Image
The saints were his friends, and blessed him the monsters were his friends, and guarded him.
Victor Hugo
Image
where would the shout of love begin, if not from the summit of sacrifice?
Victor Hugo
Image
I dislike wealth and prosperity, especially that of other men.
