Victor Hugo
Image
The guilty one is not he who commits the sin, but he who causes the darkness.
Victor Hugo
Image
Wonderful nature has a double meaning, which dazzles great minds and blinds uncultivated souls. When man is ignorant, when the desert is filled with visions, the darkness of solitude is added to the darkness of intelligence hence, in man, the possibilities of perdition
Victor Hugo

The most excellent symbol of the people is the paving stone. One walks on it until it falls on one's head.
Victor Hugo
Image
I represent a party which does not yet exist: the party Revolution-Civilization. This party will make the twentieth century. There will issue from it first the United States of Europe, then the United States of the World.
Victor Hugo

Image
It is an unpleasant thing to go to bed without supper, it is a still less pleasant thing not to sup and not to know where one is to sleep.
Victor Hugo
Image
You have enemies? Why, it is the story of every man who has done a great deed or created a new idea. It is the cloud which thunders around everything that shines. Fame must have enemies, as light must have gnats. Do no bother yourself about it disdain. Keep your mind serene as you keep your life clear.
Victor Hugo
Image
Our mind is enriched by what we receive, our heart by what we give.
Victor Hugo
Image
He would give all of his clothes to his servant, admonishing him NOT to return them until he had completed his day's work.
Victor Hugo
Image
No army can withstand the strength of an idea whose time has come.
Victor Hugo
Image
Anger may be foolish and absurd, and one may be wrongly irritated, but a man never feels outraged unless in some respect he is fundamentally right.
Victor Hugo
Image
You who suffer because you love, love still more. To die of love, is to live by it.
Victor Hugo
Image
History has its truth, and so has legend. Legendary truth is of another nature than historical truth. Legendary truth is invention whose result is reality. Furthermore, history and legend have the same goal to depict eternal man beneath momentary man.
Victor Hugo
Image
A mother's arms are made of tenderness and children sleep soundly in them.
Victor Hugo

To rise at six, to dine at ten, To sup at six, to sleep at ten, Makes a man live for ten times ten.
