Sire, you are looking at a plain man, and I am looking at a great man. Each of us may benefit.
Victor Hugo
Image
There is a way of meeting error while on the road of truth.
Victor Hugo
Image
There is such a thing as the pressure of darkness.
Victor Hugo
Image
Nature has made a pebble and a female. The lapidary makes the diamond, and the lover makes the woman.
Victor Hugo
Image
Equality does not mean that all plants must grow to the same height - a society of tall grass and dwarf trees, a jostle of conflicting jealousies. It means, in civic terms, an equal outlet for all talents in political terms, that all votes will carry the same weight and in religious terms that all beliefs will enjoy equal rights.
Victor Hugo
Image

Victor Hugo
Image
Conscience is God present in man.
Victor Hugo
Image
Do you know what friendship is... it is to be brother and sister two souls which touch without mingling, two fingers on one hand.
Victor Hugo
Image
Foppery is the egotism of clothes.
Victor Hugo
Image
What happened between those two beings? Nothing. They were adoring one another.
Victor Hugo
Image
Our life dreams the Utopia. Our death achieves the Ideal.
Victor Hugo
Image
The truth of an upright man must be accepted on his own terms. Moreover, since natures vary, we must agree that all the beauties of human excellence may be fostered by faiths that we do not share.
Victor Hugo
Image
He is the best gentleman that is the son of his own deserts, and not the degenerated heir of another's virtue.
Victor Hugo
Image
Science is continually correcting what it has said. Fertile corrections... science is a ladder... poetry is a winged flight... An artistic masterpiece exists for all time... Dante does not efface Homer.
Victor Hugo
Image
If I have not been exposed and am not in any danger of pursuit. But I have been exposed, I am pursued - by myself! That is a pursuer that does not readily let go.
Victor Hugo
Image
Sacrificing the earth for paradise is giving up the substance for the shadow.
Victor Hugo
Image
I'd like a drink. I desire to forget life. Life is a hideous invention by somebody I don't know. It doesn't last, and it's good for nothing. You break your neck simply living.
Victor Hugo
