More quotes by Victor Hugo
Teach the ignorant as much as you can society is culpable in not providing a free education for all and it must answer for the night which it produces. If the soul is left in darkness sins will be committed. The guilty one is not he who commits the sin, but he who causes the darkness.
Victor Hugo
Marius and Cosette did not ask where this would lead them. They looked at themselves as arrived. It is a strange pretension for men to ask that love should lead them somewhere.
Victor Hugo
Diamonds are found only in the dark places of the earth, truths are found only in the depths of thought.
Victor Hugo
Dying is nothing. What's terrible is not to live.
Victor Hugo
Often the losing of a battle leads to the winning of progress. Less glory but greater liberty: the drum is silent and the voices of reason can be heard.
Victor Hugo
When love has fused and mingled two beings in a sacred and angelic unity, the secret of life has been discovered so far as they are concerned they are no longer anything more than the two boundaries of the same destiny they are no longer anything but the two wings of the same spirit. Love, soar.
Victor Hugo
Promise to give me a kiss on my brow when I am dead.--I shall feel it.
Victor Hugo
He never went out without a book under his arm, and he often came back with two.
Victor Hugo
Children at once accept joy and happiness with quick familiarity, being themselves naturally all happiness and joy.
Victor Hugo
Word which the finger of God has written on the brow of every man — hope!
Victor Hugo
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
He would give all of his clothes to his servant, admonishing him NOT to return them until he had completed his day's work.
Victor Hugo
The heart becomes heroic through passion. It is no longer composed of anything but what is pure it no longer rests upon anything but what is elevated and great.
Victor Hugo
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
At a certain depth of distress, the poor, in their stupor, groan no longer over evil, and are no longer thankful for good.
Victor Hugo
The smaller it is the heart, more hatred houses.
Victor Hugo
Let us study things that are no more. It is necessary to understand them, if only to avoid them.
Victor Hugo
Forget not, never forget that you have promised me to use this silver to become an honest man.... Jean Valjean, my brother: you belong no longer to evil, but to good. It is your soul that I am buying for you. I withdraw it from dark thoughts and from the spirit of perdition, and I give it to God!
Victor Hugo
A man without a woman is like a pistol without a trigger it is the woman who makes the man go off.
Victor Hugo
Do not let it be your aim to be something, but to be someone.
Victor Hugo
