Image
Sacrificing the earth for paradise is giving up the substance for the shadow.
Victor Hugo
Image
Have no fear of robbers or murderers. They are external dangers, petty dangers. We should fear ourselves. Prejudices are the real robbers vices the real murderers. The great dangers are within us. Why worry about what threatens our heads or our purses? Let us think instead of what threatens our souls.
Victor Hugo
Image
His whole life was now summed up in two words: absolute uncertainty within an impenetrable fog.
Victor Hugo
Image
Nothing is more true, more real, than the primeval magnetic disturbances that two souls may communicate to one another, through the tiny sparks of a moment's glance.
Victor Hugo
Image
Winter changes into stone the water of heaven and the heart of man.
Victor Hugo

If you look in the eyes of the young, you see flame. If you look in the eyes of the old, you see light.
Victor Hugo
Image
The women laughed and wept the crowd stamped their feet enthusiastically, for at that moment Quasimodo was really beautiful. He was handsome — this orphan, this foundling, this outcast.

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.

Knowledge is a weight added to conscience.
Victor Hugo

Being good is easy, what is difficult is being just.
Victor Hugo
Image
He never went out without a book under his arm, and he often came back with two.
Victor Hugo
Image
...mothers are often fondest of the child which has caused them the greatest pain.
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
A phenomenon often seen. A sceptic adhering to a believer that is as simple as the law of the complementary colours. What we lack attracts us. Nobody loves the light like the blind man.
Victor Hugo
Image
The mother...swinging the children by pulling on a length of string, while at the same time she kept and eye on them with that protective watchfulness, half animal, half angelic, which is the quality of motherhood.

Ideas can no more flow backward than can a river.
