Nothing springs more directly and more sincerely from the very bottom of our souls than our unreflected and indefinite aspirations towards the splendours of destiny.
Victor Hugo
Image
Excitement is not enjoyment: in calmness lies true pleasure. The most precious wines are sipped, not bolted at a swallow.
Victor Hugo
Image
A smile is the same as sunshine it banishes winter from the human countenance.
Victor Hugo
Image
Freedom begins where it ends ignorance.
Victor Hugo
Image
The heart becomes heroic through passion. It is no longer composed of anything but what is pure it no longer rests upon anything but what is elevated and great.
Victor Hugo
Image
Cheerfulness is like money well expended in charity the more we dispense of it, the greater our possession.
Victor Hugo
