Victor Hugo
Woe, alas, to those who have loved only bodies, forms, appearances! Death will rob them of everything. Try to love souls, you will find them again.
Victor Hugo
You would have imagined her at one moment a maniac, at another a queen.
Victor Hugo
I will be Chateaubriand or nothing.
Victor Hugo
There is something more terrible than a hell of suffering--a hell of boredom.
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
