More quotes by Victor Hugo

Image
Wonderful nature has a double meaning, which dazzles great minds and blinds uncultivated souls. When man is ignorant, when the desert is filled with visions, the darkness of solitude is added to the darkness of intelligence hence, in man, the possibilities of perdition
Victor Hugo
Image
Scepticism, that dry caries of the intelligence.
Victor Hugo
Image
Take all reasonable advantage of that which the present may offer you. It is the only time which is ours. Yesterday is buried forever, and to-morrow we may never see.
Victor Hugo
Image
Those who always pray are necessary to those who never pray.
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
Smallness in a great man seems smaller by its disproportion with all the rest.
Victor Hugo
Image
The future has many names: For the weak, it means the unattainable. For the fearful, it means the unknown. For the courageous, it means opportunity.
Victor Hugo
Image
Poetry contains philosophy as the soul contains reason.
Victor Hugo
Image
A day will come when markets, open to trade, and minds, open to ideas, will become the sole battlefield.
Victor Hugo
Image
You are adorable, mademoiselle. I study your feet with the microscope and your soul with the telescope.
Victor Hugo
Image
The power of a glance has been so much abused in love stories, that it has come to be disbelieved in. Few people dare now to say that two beings have fallen in love because they have looked at each other. Yet it is in this way that love begins, and in this way only.
Victor Hugo
Image
Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent.
Victor Hugo
Image
Those who live are those who fight.
Victor Hugo
Image
As for methods of prayer, all of them are good as long as they are sincere.
Victor Hugo
Image
To love another person is to see the face of God.
Victor Hugo
Image
A mother's arms are made of tenderness and children sleep soundly in them.
Victor Hugo
Image
Have but luck, and you will have the rest be fortunate, and you will be thought great.
Victor Hugo
Image
I had a dream my life would be different from this hell I am living, so different from what it seemed. Now life has killed the dream I dreamed.
Victor Hugo
Image
Right is right only when entire.
Victor Hugo
Image
He had, they said, tasted in succession all the apples of the tree of knowledge, and, whether from hunger or disgust, had ended by tasting the forbidden fruit.
Victor Hugo
