More quotes by Victor Hugo
The greatest products of architecture are less the works of individuals than of society rather the offspring of a nation's effort, than the inspired flash of a man of genius.
Victor Hugo
The smaller it is the heart, more hatred houses.
Victor Hugo
The learned man knows that he is ignorant.
Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
How frightened hypocrisy hastens to defend itself.
Victor Hugo
War can only be qualified by its object, and there is neither foreign war nor civil war, there is only just or unjust war.
Victor Hugo
Civil war? What does that mean? Is there any foreign war? Isn't every war fought between men, between brothers?
Victor Hugo
The supreme happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved.
Victor Hugo
The soul has illusions as the bird has wings: it is supported by them.
Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
When two souls have finally found each other, there is established between them a union which begins on earth and continues forever in heaven.
Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
Let us sacrifice one day to gain perhaps a whole life.
Victor Hugo
Too much improvisation leaves the mind stupidly void.
Victor Hugo
A day will come when markets, open to trade, and minds, open to ideas, will become the sole battlefield.
Victor Hugo
When two mouths, made sacred by love, draw near to each other to create, it is impossible, that above that ineffable kiss there should not be a thrill in the immense mystery of the stars.
Victor Hugo
Never laugh at those who suffer suffer sometimes those who laugh.
Victor Hugo
Symmetry is ennui, and ennui is the very essence of grief and melancholy. Despair yawns.
Victor Hugo
This conflict between right and fact has endured since the origins of society. To bring the duel to an end, to consolidate the pure ideal with the human reality, to make the right peacefully interpenetrate the fact, and the fact the right, this is the work of the wise.
Victor Hugo
