Image
Creation lives, grows, and multiplies man is but a witness.
Victor Hugo
Image
Let us say it now: to be blind and to be loved, is indeed, upon this earth where nothing is complete, one of the most strangely exquisite forms of happiness.
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
Image
There is but one way of refusing To-morrow, that is to die.
Victor Hugo
Image
To love or have loved is all-sufficing. We must not ask for more. No other pearl is to be found in the shadowfolds of life. To love is an accomplishment.
Victor Hugo
Image
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
Image
A language does not become fixed. The human intellect is always on the march, or, if you prefer, in movement, and languages with it.
Victor Hugo
Image
It is often necessary to know how to obey a woman in order sometimes to have the right to command her.
Victor Hugo
Image
I write with one hand, but I fight with both.
Victor Hugo
Image
The power of a glance has been so much abused in love stories, that it has come to be disbelieved in. Few people dare now to say that two beings have fallen in love because they have looked at each other. Yet it is in this way that love begins, and in this way only.
Victor Hugo
Image
O youth! thou often tearest thy wings against the thorns of voluptuousness.
Victor Hugo
Image
Our mind is enriched by what we receive, our heart by what we give.
Victor Hugo
Image
There are fathers who do not love their children there is no grandfather who does not adore his grandson.
Victor Hugo
Image
Logic ignores the almost, just as the sun ignores the candle.
Victor Hugo
Image
I refuse the oration of all churches. I ask a prayer of all souls. I believe in God.
Victor Hugo
Image
Vengeance comes from the individual and punishment from God.
Victor Hugo
Image
An intelligent hell would be better than a stupid paradise.
Victor Hugo
Image
If you don't build castles in the air you won't build anything on the ground.
Victor Hugo
Image
Genius: the superhuman in man.
Victor Hugo
Image
God created the flirt as soon as he made the fool.
