Image
Architecture has recorded the great ideas of the human race. Not only every religious symbol, but every human thought has its page in that vast book.
Victor Hugo
Image
When love has fused and mingled two beings in a sacred and angelic unity, the secret of life has been discovered so far as they are concerned they are no longer anything more than the two boundaries of the same destiny they are no longer anything but the two wings of the same spirit. Love, soar.
Victor Hugo
Image
There comes an hour when protest no longer suffices after philosophy there must be action the strong hand finishes what the idea has sketched.
Victor Hugo
Image
One can no more keep the mind from returning to an idea than the sea from returning to a shore. For a sailor, this is called the tide in the case of the guilty it is called remorse. God stirs up the soul as well as the ocean.
Victor Hugo
Image
You have enemies? Why, it is the story of every man who has done a great deed or created a new idea.

Victor Hugo
Image
We do not comprehend everything, but we insult nothing.
Victor Hugo
Image
Give to a being the useless, and deprive him of the needful, and you have the gamin.
Victor Hugo
Image
I love all men who think, even those who think otherwise than myself.
Victor Hugo
Image
Animals are nothing but the portrayal of our virtues and vices made manifest to our eyes, the visible reflections of our souls.
Victor Hugo
Image
I represent a party which does not yet exist: the party Revolution-Civilization. This party will make the twentieth century. There will issue from it first the United States of Europe, then the United States of the World.
Victor Hugo
Image
The delight we inspire in others has this enchanting peculiarity that, far from being diminished like every other reflection, it returns to us more radiant than ever.
Victor Hugo
Image
That men saw his mask, but the bishop saw his face. That men saw his life, but the bishop saw his conscience.
Victor Hugo
Image
Woman, nude, is the blue sky. Clouds and garments are an obstacle to contemplation. Beauty and infinity would be gazed upon unveiled.
Victor Hugo
Image
Friend is sometimes a word devoid of meaning enemy, never.
Victor Hugo
Image
Melancholy is the pleasure of being sad.
Victor Hugo
Image
He, who every morning plans the transactions of the day, and follows that plan, carries a thread that will guide him through a labyrinth of the most busy life.
Victor Hugo
Image
In this world, which is so plainly the antechamber of another, there are no happy men. The true division of humanity is between those who live in light and those who live in darkness. Our aim must be to diminish the number of the latter and increase the number of the former. That is why we demand education and knowledge.
