Nobody knows like a woman how to say things at the same time sweet and profound. Sweetness and depth, this is all of woman this is all of Heaven.

More quotes by 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
So long as ignorance and poverty exist on earth, books of the nature of Les Miserables cannot fail to be of use.
Victor Hugo
Image
The omnipotence of evil has never resulted in anything but fruitless efforts. Our thoughts always escape from whoever tries to smother them.
Victor Hugo
Image
Proverty and wealth are comparative sins.
Victor Hugo
Image
There is nothing like a dream to create the future.
Victor Hugo
Image
The straight line, a respectable optical illusion which ruins many a man.
Victor Hugo
Image
...But listen, there will be more joy in heaven over the tears of a repentant sinner than over the white robes of a hundred just men.
Victor Hugo
Image
Oh! Everything I loved!

Genius is a promontory jutting out into the infinite.
Victor Hugo
Image
All roads are blocked to a philosophy which reduces everything to the word 'no.' To 'no' there is only one answer and that is 'yes.
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
The onward march of the human race requires that the heights around it constantly blaze with noble lessons of courage. Deeds of daring dazzle history and form one of man's guiding lights.
Victor Hugo
Image
God has bestowed two gifts on man: hope and ignorance. Ignorance is the better of the two.
Victor Hugo
Image
You have enemies? Why, it is the story of every man who has done a great deed or created a new idea. It is the cloud which thunders around everything that shines. Fame must have enemies, as light must have gnats. Do no bother yourself about it disdain. Keep your mind serene as you keep your life clear.
Victor Hugo
Image
He had slipped, climbed, rolled, searched, walked, persevered, that is all. Such is the secret of all triumphs.
Victor Hugo
Image
The quantity of civilization is measured by the quality of imagination.
Victor Hugo
Image
Night and the day, when united, Bring forth the beautiful light.
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
Philosophy is the microscope of thought. Everything desires to flee from it, but nothing escapes it.
Victor Hugo
Image
Every bad institution of this world ends by suicide.
