More quotes by Victor Hugo
It is not enough to be happy, one must be content.
Victor Hugo
Everything speaks: the flowing airstream and the sailing halycon, the blade of grass, the flower, the bud, the element did you imagine the universe to be otherwise?
Victor Hugo
Wonderful nature has a double meaning, which dazzles great minds and blinds uncultivated souls. When man is ignorant, when the desert is filled with visions, the darkness of solitude is added to the darkness of intelligence hence, in man, the possibilities of perdition
Victor Hugo
Love is the only future God offers.
Victor Hugo
Knowledge is a weight added to conscience.
Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
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
There is something more terrible than a hell of suffering--a hell of boredom.
Victor Hugo
Dying is nothing. What's terrible is not to live.
Victor Hugo
It is ourselves we have to fear. Prejudice is the real robber, and vice the real murderer.
Victor Hugo
Algebra applies to the clouds.
Victor Hugo
People generally will soon understand that writers should be judged, not according to rules and species, which are contrary to nature and art, but according to the immutable principles of the art of composition, and the special laws of their individual temperaments.
Victor Hugo
