Image
Our life dreams the Utopia. Our death achieves the Ideal.
Victor Hugo
Image
This conflict between right and fact has endured since the origins of society. To bring the duel to an end, to consolidate the pure ideal with the human reality, to make the right peacefully interpenetrate the fact, and the fact the right, this is the work of the wise.
Victor Hugo
Image
We shall look on crime as a disease, and its physicians shall displace the judges, its hospitals displace the Galleys. Liberty and health shall be alike. We shall pour balm and oil where we formerly applied iron and fire evil will be treated in charity, instead of in anger. This change will be simple and sublime.
Victor Hugo
Image
His judgement demonstrates that one can be a genius and understand nothing of an art that is not one's own.
Victor Hugo
Image
Need is a low door which, when we must by stern necessity pass through, forces the greatest to bend down the most.
Victor Hugo
Image
The animal is ignorant of the fact that he knows. The man is aware of the fact that he is ignorant.
Victor Hugo
Image
When liberty returns, I will return.
Victor Hugo
Image
Brothers, he who dies here dies in the radiance of the future, and we are entering a tomb all flooded with the dawn.
Victor Hugo
Image
We say that slavery has vanished from European civilization, but this is not true. Slavery still exists, but now it applies only to women and its name is prostitution.
Victor Hugo
Image
When dictatorship is a fact, revolution becomes a right.
Victor Hugo
Image
There is something more terrible than a hell of suffering--a hell of boredom.
Victor Hugo
Image
We would be ashamed of our best behavior if the people knew the motives of our behaving so.
Victor Hugo
Image
Everything bows to success, even grammar.
Victor Hugo
Image
Love is like a tree, it grows of its own accord, it puts down deep roots into our whole being.
Victor Hugo
Image
If she gives me all her time it is because I have all her heart.
Victor Hugo
Image
And, moreover, when it happens that both are sincere and good, nothing will mix and amalgamate more easily than an old priest and an old soldier. In reality, they are the same kind of man. One has devoted himself to country upon earth, the other to his country in heaven there is no other difference.
Victor Hugo
Image
There is no rapture in the love which is prompted by esteem such affection is lasting, not passionate.
Victor Hugo
Image
Love is a fault so be it.
Victor Hugo
Image
In this world, which is so plainly the antechamber of another, there are no happy men. The true division of humanity is between those who live in light and those who live in darkness. Our aim must be to diminish the number of the latter and increase the number of the former. That is why we demand education and knowledge.
Victor Hugo

One can resist the invasion of an army but one cannot resist the invasion of ideas.
Victor Hugo
