More quotes by Victor Hugo
Logic ignores the almost, just as the sun ignores the candle.
Victor Hugo
Success is a very hideous thing. Its false resemblance to merit deceives men.
Victor Hugo
Idleness, pleasure, what abysses! To do nothing is a dreary course to take, be sure of it. To live idle upon the substance of society! To be useless, that is to say, noxious! This leads straight to the lowest depth of misery.
Victor Hugo
Nobody loves the light like the blind man.
Victor Hugo
Sacrificing the earth for paradise is giving up the substance for the shadow.
Victor Hugo
I think, therefore I doubt.
Victor Hugo
Paris is a sum total. Paris is the ceiling of the human race. All this prodigious city is an epitome of dead and living manners and customs. He who sees Paris, seems to see all history through with the sky and constellations in the intervals.
Victor Hugo
Philosophy should be an energy it should find its aim and its effect in the amelioration of mankind.
Victor Hugo
She had had sweet dreams, which possibly arose from the fact that her little bed was very white.
Victor Hugo
The soul has illusions as the bird has wings: it is supported by them.
Victor Hugo
The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves.
Victor Hugo
. . .where there is no more hope, song remains.
Victor Hugo
Night and the day, when united, Bring forth the beautiful light.
Victor Hugo
Almost all our desires, when examined, contain something too shameful to reveal.
Victor Hugo
A day will come when markets, open to trade, and minds, open to ideas, will become the sole battlefield.
Victor Hugo
History has its truth, and so has legend. Legendary truth is of another nature than historical truth. Legendary truth is invention whose result is reality. Furthermore, history and legend have the same goal to depict eternal man beneath momentary man.
Victor Hugo
Why worry about what threatens our heads or purses? Let us think instead of what threatens our souls.
Victor Hugo
She was sad with an obscure sadness of which she had not the secret herself. There was in her whole person the stupor of a life ended but never commenced.
Victor Hugo
Every idea must have a visible enfolding.
Victor Hugo
The day that a woman who is passing before you sheds a light upon you as she goes, you are lost, you love. You have then but one thing to do: to think of her so earnestly that she will be compelled to think of you.
Victor Hugo
