More quotes by Victor Hugo
Logic ignores the almost, just as the sun ignores the candle.
Victor Hugo
I refuse the oration of all churches. I ask a prayer of all souls. I believe in God.
Victor Hugo
He saw before him two roads, both equally straight but he saw two and that terrified him — him, who had never in his life known but one straight line. And, bitter anguish, these two roads were contradictory.
Victor Hugo
There is a way of meeting error while on the road of truth.
Victor Hugo
Be happy without picking flaws.
Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
A great artist is a great man in a great child.
Victor Hugo
A smile is the same as sunshine it banishes winter from the human countenance.
Victor Hugo
Each of our passions, even love, has a stomach that must not be overloaded. We must in everything write the word 'finis' in time we must restrain ourselves, when it becomes urgent we must draw the bolt on the appetite, play a fantasia on the violin, then break the strings with our own hand. The Wise man is he who knows when and how to stop.
Victor Hugo
Each man should frame life so that at some future hour fact and his dreaming meet.
Victor Hugo
The smaller it is the heart, more hatred houses.
Victor Hugo
The world is the expanding Greece and Greece is the shrinking world.
Victor Hugo
The soul has illusions as the bird has wings: it is supported by them.
Victor Hugo
A man is not idle because he is absorbed in thought. There is a visible labor and there is an invisible labor.
Victor Hugo
A shadow is hard to seize by the throat and dash to the ground.
Victor Hugo
