If suffer we must, let's suffer on the heights.
Victor Hugo
Image
The guillotine is the ultimate expression of Law, and its name is vengeance it is not neutral, nor does it allow us to remain neutral.
Victor Hugo
Image
I met in the street a very poor young man who was in love. His hat was old, his coat worn, his cloak was out at the elbows, the water passed through his shoes, - and the stars through his soul.
Victor Hugo
Image
A woman's best qualities are harmful if undiluted with prudence.
Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
Image

Pain is as diverse as man. One suffers as one can.
Victor Hugo
Image

Victor Hugo
Image
A language does not become fixed. The human intellect is always on the march, or, if you prefer, in movement, and languages with it.
Victor Hugo
Image
You say, Where goest Thou? I cannot tell, And still go on. But if the way be straight I cannot go amiss: before me lies Dawn and the day: the night behind me: that Suffices me: I break the bounds: I see, And nothing more believe and nothing less. My future is not one of my concerns.
Victor Hugo
Image
Great blunders are often made, like large ropes, of a multitude of fibers. Take the cable thread by thread, take separately all the little determining motives, you break them one after another, and you say: that is all! Wind them and twist them together, they become an enormity.
Victor Hugo
Image
Love, thine is the future. Death, I use thee, but I hate thee. Citizens, there shall be in the future neither darkness nor thunderbolts neither ferocious ignorance nor blood for blood.
Victor Hugo
