More quotes by Victor Hugo
If the soul is left in darkness, sins will be committed. The guilty one is not he who commits the sin, but the one who causes the darkness.
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
Certain thoughts are prayers. There are moments when, whatever be the attitude of the body, the soul is on its knees.
Victor Hugo
In this world, which is so plainly the antechamber of another, there are no happy men. The true division of humanity is between those who live in light and those who live in darkness. Our aim must be to diminish the number of the latter and increase the number of the former. That is why we demand education and knowledge.
Victor Hugo
Nature is pitiless she never withdraws her flowers, her music, her fragrance, and her sunlight from before human cruelty or suffering.
Victor Hugo
Love is a portion of the soul itself, and it is of the same nature as the celestial breathing of the atmosphere of paradise.
Victor Hugo
Algebra applies to the clouds.
Victor Hugo
...Man lives by affirmation even more than he does by bread.
Victor Hugo
You have enemies? Why, it is the story of every man who has done a great deed or created a new idea.
Victor Hugo
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
Superstitions, bigotries, hypocrisies, prejudices, these phantoms, phantoms though they be, cling to life they have teeth and nails in their shadowy substance, and we must grapple with them individually and make war on them without truce for it is one of humanity's inevitabilities to be condemned to eternal struggle with phantoms.
Victor Hugo
Life is a theatre set in which there are but few practicable entrances.
Victor Hugo
The earth is a great piece of stupidity.
Victor Hugo
Does not beauty confer a benefit upon us, even by the simple fact of being beautiful?
Victor Hugo
He loved books books are cold but safe friends.
Victor Hugo
Take all reasonable advantage of that which the present may offer you. It is the only time which is ours. Yesterday is buried forever, and to-morrow we may never see.
Victor Hugo
Those who do not weep, do not see.
Victor Hugo
Our acts make or mar us, we are the children of our own deeds.
Victor Hugo
Those who live are those who fight.
Victor Hugo
Not being heard is no reason for silence.
Victor Hugo
