More quotes by Victor Hugo
We must never fear robbers or murderers. They are dangers from outside, small dangers. It is ourselves we have to fear. Prejudice is the real robber, vice the real murderer. Why should we be troubled by a threat to our person or our pocket? What we have to beware of is the threat to our souls'.
Victor Hugo
God has bestowed two gifts on man: hope and ignorance. Ignorance is the better of the two.
Victor Hugo
God has made the cat to give man the pleasure of caressing the tiger.
Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
Should we continue to look upwards? Is the light we can see in the sky one of those which will presently be extinguished? The ideal is terrifying to behold... brilliant but threatened on all sides by the dark forces that surround it: nevertheless, no more in danger than a star in the jaws of the clouds.
Victor Hugo
There are no weeds, and no worthless men. There are only bad farmers.
Victor Hugo
There is one spectacle grander than the sea, That is the sky.
Victor Hugo
God blesses man, not for having found but for having sought.
Victor Hugo
Wide horizons lead the soul to broad ideas circumscribed horizons engender narrow ideas this sometimes condemns great hearts to become small minded.Broad ideas hated by narrow ideas,-this is the very struggle of progress.
Victor Hugo
A man is not idle because he is absorbed in thought. There is a visible labor and there is an invisible labor.
Victor Hugo
But secondly you say 'society must exact vengeance, and society must punish'. Wrong on both counts. Vengeance comes from the individual and punishment from God.
Victor Hugo
To see so much misery everywhere, I suspect that God is not rich. He keeps up appearances, it is true, but I feel the pinch. He gives a revolution as a merchant, whose credit is low, gives a ball.
Victor Hugo
Phenomena intersect to see but one is to see nothing.
Victor Hugo
