One drop of wine is enough to redden a whole glass of water.
Victor Hugo
Image
Nothing is really small whoever is open to the deep penetration of nature knows this.
Victor Hugo
Image
Progress is the life-style of man.
Victor Hugo
Image
Sacrificing the earth for paradise is giving up the substance for the shadow.
Victor Hugo
Image
There is will in the thought, there is none in the dream. The dream, which is completely spontaneous, takes and keeps, even in the gigantic and the ideal, the form of our mind. 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
Popularity - a piece of faded tinsel, that is out of date.

Victor Hugo
Image
Often the losing of a battle leads to the winning of progress. Less glory but greater liberty: the drum is silent and the voices of reason can be heard.
Victor Hugo
Image
In saying no to progress, it is not the future which they condemn, but themselves. They give themselves a melancholy disease they inoculate themselves with the past. There is but one way of refusing tomorrow, that is to die.
Victor Hugo
Image
Vengeance comes from the individual and punishment from God.
Victor Hugo
Image
The convent is supreme egotism resulting in supreme self-denial.
Victor Hugo
Image
For true poetry, complete poetry, consists in the harmony of contraries. Hence, it is time to say aloud--and it is here above allthat exceptions prove the rule--that everything that exists in nature exists in art.
Victor Hugo
Image
The repose of darkness is deeper on the water than on the land.
Victor Hugo
Image
Dear God! how beauty varies in nature and art. In a woman the flesh must be like marble in a statue the marble must be like flesh.
Victor Hugo
Image
I'm not in the world to guard my own life, but to guard souls
Victor Hugo
Image
When a woman is talking to you, listen to what she says with her eyes.
Victor Hugo
Image
Diamonds are to be found only in the darkness of the earth, and truth in the darkness of the mind.
