More quotes by Victor Hugo
He was at his own request and through his own complicity driven out of all his happinesses one after the other and he had this sorrow, that after having lost Cosette wholly in one day, he was afterwards obliged to lose her again in detail.
Victor Hugo
The sadness which reigned everywhere was but an excuse for unfailing kindness.
Victor Hugo
The learned man knows that he is ignorant.
Victor Hugo
There are fathers who do not love their children there is no grandfather who does not adore his grandson.
Victor Hugo
Emotion is always new.
Victor Hugo
To rove about, musing, that is to say loitering, is, for a philosopher, a good way of spending time.
Victor Hugo
M. Mabeuf’s political opinion was a passionate fondness for plants, and a still greater one for books. He had, like everybody else, his termination in ist, without which nobody could have lived in those times, but he was neither a royalist, nor a Bonapartist, nor a chartist, nor an Orleanist, nor an anarchist he was an old-bookist.
Victor Hugo
He who is not master of his own thoughts is not accountable for his own deeds.
Victor Hugo
When a man is out of sight, it is not too long before he is out of mind.
Victor Hugo
Work is the law of life, and to reject it as boredom is to submit to it as torment.
Victor Hugo
Every blade has two edges he who wounds with one wounds himself with the other.
Victor Hugo
If a man has his throat cut in Paris, it's a murder. If 50,000 people are murdered in the east, it is a question.
Victor Hugo
Logic ignores the almost, just as the sun ignores the candle.
Victor Hugo
The most powerful symptom of love is a tenderness which becomes at times almost insupportable.
Victor Hugo
Life's greatest happiness is to be convinced we are loved.
Victor Hugo
A language does not become fixed. The human intellect is always on the march, or, if you prefer, in movement, and languages with it.
Victor Hugo
I only take a half share in the civil war I am willing to die, I am not willing to kill.
Victor Hugo
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
Woe, alas, to those who have loved only bodies, forms, appearances! Death will rob them of everything. Try to love souls, you will find them again.
Victor Hugo
Civil war.... What did the words mean? Was there any such thing as foreign war? Was not all warfare between men warfare between brothers?
Victor Hugo
