More quotes by 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
Morality is truth in full bloom.
Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
I am a soul. I know well that what I shall render up to the grave is not myself. That which is myself will go elsewhere. Earth, thou art not my abyss!
Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
Ma vie est une énigme dont ton nom est le mot. (My life is an enigma, of which your name is the word.)
Victor Hugo
France is great because she is France.
Victor Hugo
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.
Victor Hugo
This conflict between right and fact has endured since the origins of society. To bring the duel to an end, to consolidate the pure ideal with the human reality, to make the right peacefully interpenetrate the fact, and the fact the right, this is the work of the wise.
Victor Hugo
Enthusiasm is the fever of reason.
Victor Hugo
To die for lack of love is horrible. The asphyxia of the soul.
Victor Hugo
A wedding is not house-keeping.
Victor Hugo
A one-eyed man is much more incomplete than a blind man, for he knows what it is that's lacking.
Victor Hugo
He was at his own request and through his own complicity driven out of all his happinesses one after the other and he had this sorrow, that after having lost Cosette wholly in one day, he was afterwards obliged to lose her again in detail.
