More quotes by Victor Hugo
Let us sacrifice one day to gain perhaps a whole life.
Victor Hugo
Dry happiness is like dry bread. We eat, but we do not dine. I wish for the superfluous, for the useless, for the extravagant, for the too much, for that which is not good for anything.
Victor Hugo
If suffer we must, let's suffer on the heights.
Victor Hugo
A writer is a world trapped in a person.
Victor Hugo
Wherever the Turkish hoof trods, no grass grows.
Victor Hugo
What's our baggage? Only vows, Happiness, and all our care, And the flower that sweetly shows Nestling lightly in your hair.
Victor Hugo
We are on the side of religion as opposed to religions, and we are among those who believe in the wretched inadequacy of sermons and the sublimity of prayer.
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 a material advancement we desire it. There is, also, a moral grandeur we hold fast to it.
Victor Hugo
Love is the salutation of the angel to the stars
Victor Hugo
There is always more misery among the lower classes than there is humanity in the higher.
Victor Hugo
If a man has his throat cut in Paris, it's a murder. If 50,000 people are murdered in the east, it is a question.
Victor Hugo
Reaction - a boat which is going against the current but which does not prevent the river from flowing on.
Victor Hugo
The spirit of God, like the sun, always gives all its light at once. The spirit of man resembles the pale moon, which has its phases, its absences and its returns, its lucidity and its spots, its fullness and its disappearance, which borrows all its light from the rays of the sun, and which still dares to intercept them on occasion.
Victor Hugo
