Image
A day will come when markets, open to trade, and minds, open to ideas, will become the sole battlefield.
Victor Hugo
Image
Ma vie est une énigme dont ton nom est le mot. (My life is an enigma, of which your name is the word.)
Victor Hugo
Image
Die, very good, but do not make others die. Suicides like the one which is about to take place here are sublime, but suicide is restricted, and does not allow of extension and so soon as it affects your neighbors, suicide becomes murder.
Victor Hugo
Image
It is ourselves we have to fear. Prejudice is the real robber, and vice the real murderer.
Victor Hugo
Image
The soul helps the body, and at certain moments raises it. It is the only bird that sustains its cage.
Victor Hugo
Image
And the dream that our mind had sketched in haste Shall others continue, but never complete. For none upon earth can achieve his scheme The best as the worst are futile here: We wake at the self-same point of the dream, All is here begun, and finished elsewhere.
Victor Hugo
Image
There is no rapture in the love which is prompted by esteem such affection is lasting, not passionate.
Victor Hugo
Image
I will be Chateaubriand or nothing.
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
Every bad institution of this world ends by suicide.
Victor Hugo
Image
It is the peculiarity of grief to bring out the childish side of man.
Victor Hugo
Image
He had, they said, tasted in succession all the apples of the tree of knowledge, and, whether from hunger or disgust, had ended by tasting the forbidden fruit.
Victor Hugo
Image
A breath of Paris preserves the soul.
Victor Hugo
Image
A bit of mould is a pleiad of flowers a nebula is an ant-hill of stars.
Victor Hugo
Image
I believe, sir, in all the progress. Air navigation is the result of the oceanic navigation: from water the human has to pass in the air. Everywhere where creation will be breathable to him, the human will penetrate into the creation. Our only limit is life.
Victor Hugo
Image
I'd like a drink. I desire to forget life. Life is a hideous invention by somebody I don't know. It doesn't last, and it's good for nothing. You break your neck simply living.
Victor Hugo
Image
Philosophy is the microscope of thought. Everything desires to flee from it, but nothing escapes it.
Victor Hugo
Image
The tomb is not a blind alley: it is a thoroughfare. It closes on the twilight. It opens on the dawn.
Victor Hugo
Image
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
Image
Scepticism, that dry caries of the intelligence.
Victor Hugo
