If we must suffer, let us suffer nobly.
Victor Hugo
Image
Each of our passions, even love, has a stomach that must not be overloaded. We must in everything write the word 'finis' in time we must restrain ourselves, when it becomes urgent we must draw the bolt on the appetite, play a fantasia on the violin, then break the strings with our own hand. The Wise man is he who knows when and how to stop.
Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
Image
You look at a star for two reasons, because it is luminous, and because it is impenetrable. You have beside you a sweeter radiance and a greater mystery, woman.
Victor Hugo
Image
If she gives me all her time it is because I have all her heart.
Victor Hugo
Image
In 1815, M. Charles-Francois-Bienvenu Myriel was Bishop of D—— He was an old man of about seventy-five years of age he had occupied the see of D—— since 1806.
Victor Hugo
Image
It is by suffering that human beings become angels.
Victor Hugo
Image
Indigestion is charged by God with enforcing morality on the stomach.
Victor Hugo
Image
The beautiful is as useful as the useful. He added after a moment’s silence, Perhaps more so.
Victor Hugo
Image
Homer is one of the men of genius who solve that fine problem of art - the finest of all, perhaps - truly to depict humanity by the enlargement of man: that is, to generate the real in the ideal.
