As with stomachs, we should pity minds that do not eat.
Victor Hugo
Image
If people did not love one another, I really don't see what use there would be in having any spring.
Victor Hugo
Image
From the oyster to the eagle, from the swine to the tiger, all animals are to be found in men and each of them exists in some man, sometimes several at the time. Animals are nothing but the portrayal of our virtues and vices made manifest to our eyes, the visible reflections of our souls. God displays them to us to give us food for thought.
Victor Hugo
Image
His universal compassion was due less to natural instinct, than to a profound conviction, a sum of thoughts that in the course of living had filtered through to his heart: for in the nature of man, as in rock, there may be channels hollowed by the dropping of water, and these can never be destroyed.
Victor Hugo
Image
Babylon violated diminishes Alexander Rome enslaved diminishes Caesar massacred Jerusalem diminishes Titus. Tyranny follows the tyrant. Woe to the man who leaves behind a shadow that bears his form.

Marius and Cosette were in the dark in regard to each other. They did not speak, they did not bow, they were not acquainted they saw each other and, like the stars in the sky separated by millions of leagues, they lived by gazing upon each other.
Victor Hugo
Image
To rove about, musing, that is to say loitering, is, for a philosopher, a good way of spending time, especially in that kind of mock rurality, ugly but odd, and partaking of two natures, which surrounds certain large cities, particularly Paris.
Victor Hugo
Image
Wherever the Turkish hoof trods, no grass grows.
Victor Hugo
Image
Change your opinions, keep to your principles change your leaves, keep intact your roots.
Victor Hugo
Image
Be happy without picking flaws.
Victor Hugo
Image
Primitive times are lyrical, ancient times epical, modern times dramatic. The ode sings of eternity, the epic imparts solemnity tohistory, the drama depicts life. The characteristic of the first poetry is ingeniousness, of the second, simplicity, of the third, truth.
Victor Hugo
Image
Loving is half of believing.
Victor Hugo
Image
The author creates a book and the people accept or not accept it. The creator of a book is an author and the creator of it`s fate are people.
Victor Hugo
Image
Mothers arms are made of tenderness, And sweet sleep blesses the child who lies therein.
Victor Hugo
Image
If the soul is left in darkness, sins will be committed. The guilty one is not he who commits the sin, but the one who causes the darkness.
Victor Hugo
Image
Freedom in art, freedom in society, this is the double goal towards which all consistent and logical minds must strive.
Victor Hugo
Image
One believes others will do what he will do to himself.
