Image
There is no vacuum in the human heart. Certain demolitions take place, and it is well that they do, but on condition that they are followed by reconstructions.
Victor Hugo
Image
Those who do not weep, do not see.
Victor Hugo
Image
Melancholy is the happiness of being sad.
Victor Hugo
Image
He had not yet lived long enough to have discovered that nothing is more close at hand then the impossible, and that what must be looked for is always the unforeseen.
Victor Hugo
Image
Right is right only when entire.
Victor Hugo
Image
For sight is woman-like and shuns the old.
Victor Hugo
Image
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
Image
To rove about, musing, that is to say loitering, is, for a philosopher, a good way of spending time.
Victor Hugo
Image
Man lives more by affirmation than by bread.
Victor Hugo
Image
All roads are blocked to a philosophy which reduces everything to the word no. To no there is only one answer and that is yes. Nihilism has no substance. There is no such thing as nothingness, and zero does not exist. Everything is something. Nothing is nothing. Man lives more by affirmation than by bread.
Victor Hugo
Image
The realities of life do not allow themselves to be forgotten.
Victor Hugo
Image
Fame must have enemies, as light must have gnats.
Victor Hugo
Image
Happiness wishes everybody happy.
Victor Hugo
Image
Dirt has been shrewdly termed misplaced material.
Victor Hugo
Image
It is nothing to die. It is frightful not to live.
Victor Hugo
Image
Solitude either develops the mental power, or renders men dull and vicious.
Victor Hugo
Image
One is not idle because one is absorbed. There is both visible and invisible labor. To contemplate is to toil, to think is to do. The crossed arms work, the clasped hands act. The eyes upturned to Heaven are an act of creation.
Victor Hugo
Image
These are dark radiances. They have no suspicion that they are to be pitied. Certainly they are so. He who does not weep does not see. They are to be admired and pitied, as one would both pity and admire a being at once night and day, without eyes beneath his lashes but with a star on his brow.
Victor Hugo
Image
You look at a star for two reasons, because it is luminous, and because it is impenetrable. You have beside you a sweeter radiance and a greater mystery, woman.
Victor Hugo
Image
People do not read stupidities with impunity.
