Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
She might have melted a heart of stone, but nothing can melt a heart of wood.
Victor Hugo
Profound hearts, wise minds, take life as God makes it it is a long trial, and unintelligible preparation for the unknown destiny.
Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
Whatever causes night in our souls may leave stars. Cimourdain was full of virtues and truth, but they shine out of a dark background.
Victor Hugo
The most terrible of motives and the most unanswerable of responses: Because.
Victor Hugo
As we have explained, in first love the soul is taken long before the body later the body is taken long before the soul sometimes the soul is not taken at all.
Victor Hugo
The wind of revolutions is not tractable.
