Image
Short as life is, we make it still shorter by the careless waste of time.
Victor Hugo
Image
To rove about, musing, that is to say loitering, is, for a philosopher, a good way of spending time.
Victor Hugo
Image
The sunshine was delightful, the foliage gently astir, more from the activity of birds than from the breeze. One gallant little bird, doubtless lovelorn, was singing his heart out at the top of a tall tree.
Victor Hugo
Image
Dreaming is happiness. Waiting is life.
Victor Hugo
Image
Fame must have enemies, as light must have gnats.
Victor Hugo
Image
What dangers you run, O noble souls! Often, you give your heart, but we take only your body. Your heart is left to you and you look at it in the shadows and shudder.
Victor Hugo
Image
Promise to give me a kiss on my brow when I am dead.--I shall feel it.
Victor Hugo
Image
When liberty returns, I will return.
Victor Hugo
Image
Nothing is so stifling as symmetry. Symmetry is boredom, the quintessence of mourning. Despair yawns. There is something more terrible than a hell of suffering - a hell of boredom.
Victor Hugo
Image
There is a spectacle more grand than the sea it is heaven there is a spectacle more grand than heaven it is the conscience.
Victor Hugo
Image
The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves.
Victor Hugo
Image
Tobacco is the plant that converts thoughts into dreams.
Victor Hugo
Image
Poetry contains philosophy as the soul contains reason.
Victor Hugo
Image
The word is the Verb, and the Verb is God.
Victor Hugo
Image
A doctor’s door should never be closed, a priest's door should always be open.
Victor Hugo
Image
To live a life which is a perpetual falsehood is to suffer unknown tortures.
Victor Hugo
Image
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
Image
When I speak to you about myself, I am speaking to you about yourself. How is it you don't see that?
Victor Hugo
Image
Is there not in every human soul a primitive spark, a divine element, incorruptible in this world and immortal in the next, which can be developed by goodness, kindled, lit up, and made to radiate, and which evil can never entirely extinguish.
Victor Hugo
Image
I will be Chateaubriand or nothing.
Victor Hugo
