More quotes by Victor Hugo
I refuse the oration of all churches. I ask a prayer of all souls. I believe in God.
Victor Hugo
It is by suffering that human beings become angels.
Victor Hugo
Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched, and those who have tried for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives.
Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
It was SHE. Whoever has loved knows all the radiant meaning contained in the three letters of this word ‘she.
Victor Hugo
We are on the side of religion as opposed to religions, and we are among those who believe in the wretched inadequacy of sermons and the sublimity of prayer.
Victor Hugo
Popularity - a piece of faded tinsel, that is out of date.
Victor Hugo
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
Hypocrisy is nothing, in fact, but a horrible hopefulness.
Victor Hugo
