More quotes by Victor Hugo
Not being heard is no reason for silence.
Victor Hugo
Civilization survives on the constant discovery of amity and an equal supply of damnation.
Victor Hugo
Because a fact seems strange to you, you conclude that it is not one. ... All science, however, commences by being strange. Science is successive. It goes from one wonder to another. It mounts by a ladder. The science of to-day would seem extravagant to the science of a former time. Ptolemy would believe Newton mad.
Victor Hugo
Every body drags its shadow, and every mind its doubt.
Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
There must be people who pray even for those who never pray.
Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
Great blunders are often made, like large ropes, of a multitude of fibres.
Victor Hugo
Profound hearts, wise minds, take life as God makes it it is a long trial, and unintelligible preparation for the unknown destiny.
Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
God will bless you,' said he, 'you are an angel since you take care of the flowers.' 'No,' she replied. 'I am the devil, but that's all the same to me.
Victor Hugo
A man trying to escape never thinks himself sufficiently concealed.
Victor Hugo
Habit is the nursery of errors.
Victor Hugo
One sometimes says: 'He killed himself because he was bored with life.' One ought rather to say: 'He killed himself because he was bored by lack of life.'
Victor Hugo
For, to make deserts, God, who rules mankind, Begins with kings, and ends the work by wind.
Victor Hugo
The author creates a book and the people accept or not accept it. The creator of a book is an author and the creator of it`s fate are people.
Victor Hugo
The quantity of civilization is measured by the quality of imagination.
Victor Hugo
For there are many great deeds done in the small struggles of life.
Victor Hugo
