Image
Every step which the intelligence of Europe has taken has been in spite of the clerical party.
Victor Hugo
Image
Is there not in every human soul a primitive spark, a divine element, incorruptible in this world and immortal in the next, which can be developed by goodness, kindled, lit up, and made to radiate, and which evil can never entirely extinguish.
Victor Hugo
Image
Paris is a sum total. Paris is the ceiling of the human race. All this prodigious city is an epitome of dead and living manners and customs. He who sees Paris, seems to see all history through with the sky and constellations in the intervals.
Victor Hugo
Image
Nothing is more imminent than the impossible . . . what we must always foresee is the unforeseen.
Victor Hugo
Image
Oh! Everything I loved!
Victor Hugo
Image
The aim of art is almost divine: to bring to life again if it is writing history, to create if it is writing poetry.
Victor Hugo
Image
Wonderful nature has a double meaning, which dazzles great minds and blinds uncultivated souls. When man is ignorant, when the desert is filled with visions, the darkness of solitude is added to the darkness of intelligence hence, in man, the possibilities of perdition
Victor Hugo
Image
It is the peculiarity of grief to bring out the childish side of man.
Victor Hugo
Image
Labor is life thought is light.
Victor Hugo
Image
Nature is pitiless she never withdraws her flowers, her music, her fragrance, and her sunlight from before human cruelty or suffering.
Victor Hugo
Image
Forget not, never forget that you have promised me to use this silver to become an honest man.... Jean Valjean, my brother: you belong no longer to evil, but to good. It is your soul that I am buying for you. I withdraw it from dark thoughts and from the spirit of perdition, and I give it to God!
Victor Hugo
Image
...But listen, there will be more joy in heaven over the tears of a repentant sinner than over the white robes of a hundred just men.
Victor Hugo
Image
Success is a very hideous thing. Its false resemblance to merit deceives men.
Victor Hugo
Image
One of the hardest labours of the just man is to expunge from his soul a malevolence which it is difficult to efface.
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
Be as a bird perched on a frail branch that she feels bending beneath her, still she sings away all the same, knowing she has wings.
Victor Hugo
Image
He reached for his pocket, and found there, only reality
Victor Hugo
Image
God was bored by him.
Victor Hugo
Image
Life is a theatre set in which there are but few practicable entrances.
Victor Hugo
Image
To die is nothing but it is terrible not to live.
