More quotes by Victor Hugo
O youth! thou often tearest thy wings against the thorns of voluptuousness.
Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
I will be Chateaubriand or nothing.
Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
Let the one fight for his flag, and the other for his ideal, and let them both imagine that they are fighting for the country the strife will be colossal.
Victor Hugo
It is God who makes woman beautiful, it is the devil who makes her pretty.
Victor Hugo
As for the bishop, the sight of the guillotine was a great shock to him, from which he recovered only slowly.
Victor Hugo
Forty is the old age of youth fifty the youth of old age.
Victor Hugo
Ideas can no more flow backward than can a river.
Victor Hugo
The guillotine is the ultimate expression of Law, and its name is vengeance it is not neutral, nor does it allow us to remain neutral.
Victor Hugo
