Victor Hugo
Image
A stout heart may be ruined in fortune but not in spirit.
Victor Hugo
Image
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
Image
Son, brother, father, lover, friend. There is room in the heart for all the affections, as there is room in heaven for all the stars.
Victor Hugo
Image
And, moreover, when it happens that both are sincere and good, nothing will mix and amalgamate more easily than an old priest and an old soldier. In reality, they are the same kind of man.

Victor Hugo
Image
An intelligent hell would be better than a stupid paradise.
Victor Hugo
Image
The ode lives upon the ideal, the epic upon the grandiose, the drama upon the real.
Victor Hugo
Image
It is man's consolation that the future is to be a sunrise instead of a sunset.
Victor Hugo
Image
Who then understands the reciprocal flux and reflux of the infinitely great and the infinitely small, the echoing of causes in the abysses of being, and the avalanches of creation?
Victor Hugo
Image
What is said about men often has as much influence upon their lives, and especially upon their destinies, as what they do.
Victor Hugo
Image
To meditate is to labour to think is to act.
Victor Hugo
Image
Press on! A better fate awaits thee.
Victor Hugo
Image
A woman's best qualities are harmful if undiluted with prudence.
Victor Hugo

God put in man thought society, action nature, revery.
