More quotes by Victor Hugo
To divinise is human, to humanise is divine.
Victor Hugo
Of all the things that God has made, the human heart is the one which sheds the most light, alas! and the most darkness.
Victor Hugo
Her soul trembled on her lips like a drop of dew on a flower.
Victor Hugo
At least you are mine! Soon – in a few months, perhaps, my angel will sleep in my arms, will awaken in my arms, will live there. All your thought at all moments, all your looks will be for me all my thought, all my moments, all my looks will be for you!
Victor Hugo
I think, therefore I doubt.
Victor Hugo
Winter is on my head, but eternal spring is in my heart I breathe at this hour the fragrance of the lilacs, the violets, and the roses, as at twenty years ago.
Victor Hugo
Dreaming is happiness. Waiting is life.
Victor Hugo
To have lied is to have suffered.
Victor Hugo
The brutalities of progress are called revolutions. When they are over we realize this: that the human race has been roughly handled, but that it has advanced.
Victor Hugo
She might have melted a heart of stone, but nothing can melt a heart of wood.
Victor Hugo
Death belongs to God alone by what right do men touch that unknown thing?
Victor Hugo
The mind's eye can nowhere find anything more dazzling or more dark than in man it can fix itself upon nothing which is more awful, more complex, more mysterious, or more infinite. There is one spectacle grander than the sea, that is the sky there is one spectacle grander than the sky, that is the interior of the soul.
Victor Hugo
Everything speaks: the flowing airstream and the sailing halycon, the blade of grass, the flower, the bud, the element did you imagine the universe to be otherwise?
Victor Hugo
As for the bishop, the sight of the guillotine was a great shock to him, from which he recovered only slowly.
Victor Hugo
There is a sacred horror about everything grand. It is easy to admire mediocrity and hills but whatever is too lofty, a genius as well as a mountain, an assembly as well as a masterpiece, seen too near, is appalling.
Victor Hugo
Do not ask the name of the person who seeks a bed for the night. He who is reluctant to give his name is the one who most needs shelter.
Victor Hugo
There are many tongues to talk, and but few heads to think.
Victor Hugo
To rove about, musing, that is to say loitering, is, for a philosopher, a good way of spending time.
Victor Hugo
To think of shadows is a serious thing.
Victor Hugo
Progress is the stride of God.
Victor Hugo
