More quotes by Victor Hugo
Separated lovers cheat absence by a thousand fancies which have their own reality. They are prevented from seeing one another and they cannot write nevertheless they find countless mysterious ways of corresponding, by sending each other the song of birds, the scent of flowers, the laughter of children.
Victor Hugo
Every bird which flies has the thread of the infinite in its claw.
Victor Hugo
True thinkers are characterized by a blending of clearness and mystery.
Victor Hugo
There are people who observe the rules of honor as one observes the stars, from a great distance.
Victor Hugo
Knowledge is a weight added to conscience.
Victor Hugo
He reached for his pocket, and found there, only reality
Victor Hugo
Initiative is doing the right thing without being told.
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
Sleep comes more easily than it returns.
Victor Hugo
Well, for us, in history where goodness is a rare pearl, he who was good almost takes precedence over he who was great.
Victor Hugo
There is one spectacle grander than the sea, that is the sky there is one spectacle grander than the sky, that is the interior of the soul.
Victor Hugo
There is a sacred horror about everything grand. It is easy to admire mediocrity and hills but whatever is too lofty, a genius as well as a mountain, an assembly as well as a masterpiece, seen too near, is appalling.
Victor Hugo
Love is like a tree: it grows by itself, roots itself deeply in our being and continues to flourish over a heart in ruin. The inexplicable fact is that the blinder it is, the more tenacious it is. It is never stronger than when it is completely unreasonable.
Victor Hugo
When a man is out of sight, it is not too long before he is out of mind.
Victor Hugo
All the human and animal manure which the world wastes, if returned to the land, instead of being thrown into the sea, would suffice to nourish the world.
Victor Hugo
Often when we think we are knotting one thread, we are tying quite another.
Victor Hugo
The mother...swinging the children by pulling on a length of string, while at the same time she kept and eye on them with that protective watchfulness, half animal, half angelic, which is the quality of motherhood.
Victor Hugo
A day will come when markets, open to trade, and minds, open to ideas, will become the sole battlefield.
Victor Hugo
There is in every village a torch - the teacher and an extinguisher - the priest.
Victor Hugo
When love has fused and mingled two beings in a sacred and angelic unity, the secret of life has been discovered so far as they are concerned they are no longer anything more than the two boundaries of the same destiny they are no longer anything but the two wings of the same spirit. Love, soar.
Victor Hugo
