Victor Hugo
To pay compliments to the one we love is the first method of caressing, a demi-audacity venturing. A compliment is something like a kiss through a veil.
Victor Hugo
There are things stronger than the strongest man.
Victor Hugo
Our acts make or mar us, we are the children of our own deeds.
Victor Hugo
I met in the street a very poor young man who was in love. His hat was old, his coat worn, his cloak was out at the elbows, the water passed through his shoes, - and the stars through his soul.
