Amnesty is as good for those who give it as for those who receive it. It has the admirable quality of bestowing mercy on both sides.
Victor Hugo
Image
The memory of an absent person shines in the deepest recesses of the heart, shining the more brightly the more wholly its object has vanished: a light on the horizon of the despairing, darkened spirit a star gleaming in our inward night.
Victor Hugo
Image
The soul does not give itself up to despair until it has exhausted all illusions.
Victor Hugo
Image
What's our baggage? Only vows, Happiness, and all our care, And the flower that sweetly shows Nestling lightly in your hair.
Victor Hugo

Image
The thirst for the Infinite proves infinity.
Victor Hugo
Image
Friendship exists outside our modern economy of scarcity... It's not about apportioning vanishing resources of time and energy. Friendship is a blessed relic of the ancient economy of the gift, and the time freely given to people dear to you actually creates magical abundance.
Victor Hugo
Image
He sought...to transform the grief which looks down into the grave by showing it the grief which looks up to the stars.
Victor Hugo

Certain thoughts are prayers. There are moments when, whatever be the attitude of the body, the soul is on its knees.
Victor Hugo
Image
Strange to say, the luminous world is the invisible world the luminous world is that which we do not see. Our eyes of flesh see only night.
Victor Hugo
Image
God has made the cat to give man the pleasure of caressing the tiger.
Victor Hugo
Image
Love is like a tree: it grows by itself, roots itself deeply in our being and continues to flourish over a heart in ruin. The inexplicable fact is that the blinder it is, the more tenacious it is. It is never stronger than when it is completely unreasonable.
Victor Hugo
Image
There are many tongues to talk, and but few heads to think.
Victor Hugo
Image
Genius is a promontory jutting out into the infinite.
Victor Hugo
Image
The supreme happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved.
Victor Hugo
Image
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
Image
No one knows like a woman how to say things which are at once gentle and deep.
Victor Hugo
Image
Initiative is doing the right thing without being told.
Victor Hugo
Image
Work, which makes a man free, and thought, which makes him worthy of freedom.
Victor Hugo
