Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
Have no fear of robbers or murderers. They are external dangers, petty dangers. We should fear ourselves. Prejudices are the real robbers vices the real murderers. The great dangers are within us. Why worry about what threatens our heads or our purses? Let us think instead of what threatens our souls.
Victor Hugo
If you look in the eyes of the young, you see flame. If you look in the eyes of the old, you see light.
Victor Hugo
Nothing is more dangerous than discontinued labor it is habit lost. A habit easy to abandon, difficult to resume.
Victor Hugo
A phenomenon often seen. A sceptic adhering to a believer that is as simple as the law of the complementary colours. What we lack attracts us. Nobody loves the light like the blind man.
Victor Hugo
The supreme happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved.
Victor Hugo
The pupil dilates in darkness and in the end finds light, just as the soul dilates in misfortune and in the end finds God.
