More quotes by Victor Hugo
One of the magnanimities of woman is to yield.
Victor Hugo
I should hope so, Laigle replied, for my coat and I live comfortably together. It has assumed all my wrinkles, does not hurt me anywhere, has moulded itself on my deformities, and is complacent to all my movements, and 1 only feel its presence because it keeps me warm.
Victor Hugo
To die is nothing but it is terrible not to live.
Victor Hugo
Nations, like stars, are entitled to eclipse. All is well, provided the light returns and the eclipse does not become endless night. Dawn and resurrection are synonymous. The reappearance of the light is the same as the survival of the soul.
Victor Hugo
The day that a woman who is passing before you sheds a light upon you as she goes, you are lost, you love. You have then but one thing to do: to think of her so earnestly that she will be compelled to think of you.
Victor Hugo
For dogs we kings should have lions, and for cats, tigers. The great benefits a crown.
Victor Hugo
God is behind everything, but everything hides God.
Victor Hugo
To put everything in balance is good, to put everything in harmony is better.
Victor Hugo
The future has several names. For the weak, it is impossible for the fainthearted, it is unknown but for the valiant, it is ideal.
Victor Hugo
To lie a little is not possible: he who lies, lies the whole lie.
Victor Hugo
...Man lives by affirmation even more than he does by bread.
Victor Hugo
When love has fused and mingled two beings in a sacred and angelic unity, the secret of life has been discovered so far as they are concerned they are no longer anything more than the two boundaries of the same destiny they are no longer anything but the two wings of the same spirit. Love, soar.
Victor Hugo
There are fathers who do not love their children there is no grandfather who does not adore his grandson.
Victor Hugo
People do not lack strength they lack will.
Victor Hugo
Solitude either develops the mental power, or renders men dull and vicious.
Victor Hugo
If she gives me all her time it is because I have all her heart.
Victor Hugo
The soul helps the body, and at certain moments raises it. It is the only bird that sustains its cage.
Victor Hugo
Whom man kills, him God restoreth to life.
Victor Hugo
Try as you will, you cannot annihilate that eternal relic of the human heart, love.
Victor Hugo
Nothing is more true, more real, than the primeval magnetic disturbances that two souls may communicate to one another, through the tiny sparks of a moment's glance.
Victor Hugo
