Victor Hugo
Image
where would the shout of love begin, if not from the summit of sacrifice?
Victor Hugo
Image
One can no more keep the mind from returning to an idea than the sea from returning to a shore. For a sailor, this is called the tide in the case of the guilty it is called remorse. God stirs up the soul as well as the ocean.
Victor Hugo
Image
Thought is the labor of the intellect, reverie is its pleasure.
Victor Hugo
Image
God secludes Himself but the thinker listens at the door.
Victor Hugo
Image
When grace is joined with wrinkles, it is adorable. There is an unspeakable dawn in happy old age.
Victor Hugo
Image
A writer is a world trapped in a person.
Victor Hugo
