More quotes by Victor Hugo
Without vanity, without coquetry, without curiosity, in a word, without the fall, woman would not be woman. Much of her grace is in her frailty.
Victor Hugo
You are adorable, mademoiselle. I study your feet with the microscope and your soul with the telescope.
Victor Hugo
There is always more misery among the lower classes than there is humanity in the higher.
Victor Hugo
I represent a party which does not yet exist: the party Revolution-Civilization. This party will make the twentieth century. There will issue from it first the United States of Europe, then the United States of the World.
Victor Hugo
Superstitions, bigotries, hypocrisies, prejudices, these phantoms, phantoms though they be, cling to life they have teeth and nails in their shadowy substance, and we must grapple with them individually and make war on them without truce for it is one of humanity's inevitabilities to be condemned to eternal struggle with phantoms.
Victor Hugo
The soul has illusions as the bird has wings: it is supported by them.

Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
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
All the forces in the world are not so powerful as an idea whose time has come.
Victor Hugo
He who is not capable of enduring poverty is not capable of being free.
Victor Hugo
We see past time in a telescope and present time in a microscope. Hence the apparent enormities of the present.
Victor Hugo
Children at once accept joy and happiness with quick familiarity, being themselves naturally all happiness and joy.
Victor Hugo
When grace combines with wrinkles, it is admirable. There is an indescribable light of dawn about intensely happy old age. . . . The young person is handsome, but the old, superb.
Victor Hugo
I was dying when you came.
Victor Hugo
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
