More quotes by Victor Hugo
When God desires to destroy a thing, he entrusts its destruction to the thing itself. Every bad institution of this world ends by suicide.
Victor Hugo
Do you hear the people sing Lost in the valley of the night? It is the music of a people Who are climbing to the light. For the wretched of the earth There is a flame that never dies. Even the darkest night will end And the sun will rise.
Victor Hugo
It is sad to tell, but after having tried society, which had caused his misfortune, he tried Providence which created society, and condemned it also.
Victor Hugo
It is the essence of truth that it is never excessive. Why should it exaggerate? There is that which should be destroyed and that which should be simply illuminated and studied.

Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
And, moreover, when it happens that both are sincere and good, nothing will mix and amalgamate more easily than an old priest and an old soldier. In reality, they are the same kind of man. One has devoted himself to country upon earth, the other to his country in heaven there is no other difference.
Victor Hugo
To have lied is to have suffered.
Victor Hugo
The guilty one is not he who commits the sin, but he who causes the darkness.
Victor Hugo
For the rest, he was the same to all men, the fashionable world and the ordinary people. He judged nothing in haste, or without taking account of the cirumstances. He said, 'Let me see how the fault arose.
Victor Hugo
A smile is the same as sunshine it banishes winter from the human countenance.
Victor Hugo
A day will come when all nations on our continent will form a European brotherhood... A day will come when we shall see... the United States of America and the United States of Europe face to face, reaching out for each other across the seas.
Victor Hugo
There are many tongues to talk, and but few heads to think.
Victor Hugo
To destroy abuses is not enough Habits must also be changed. The windmill has gone, but the wind is still there. ~old man G--- to Monseigneur Bienvenu Myriel
Victor Hugo
The soul in the darkness sins, but the real sinner is he who caused the darkness.
Victor Hugo
When the heart is dry the eye is dry.
