Image
One is not idle because one is absorbed. There is both visible and invisible labor. To contemplate is to toil, to think is to do. The crossed arms work, the clasped hands act. The eyes upturned to Heaven are an act of creation.
Victor Hugo
Image
Every day has its great grief or its small anxiety. ... One cloud is dispelled, another forms. There is hardly one day in a hundred of real joy and bright sunshine.
Victor Hugo
Image
Earnestness is the salt of eloquence.

Victor Hugo
Image
All roads are blocked to a philosophy which reduces everything to the word 'no.' To 'no' there is only one answer and that is 'yes.
Victor Hugo
Image
Let us say it now: to be blind and to be loved, is indeed, upon this earth where nothing is complete, one of the most strangely exquisite forms of happiness.
Victor Hugo
Image
It is by suffering that human beings become angels.
Victor Hugo
Image
Winter is on my head, but eternal spring is in my heart I breathe at this hour the fragrance of the lilacs, the violets, and the roses, as at twenty years ago.
Victor Hugo
Image
There are fathers who do not love their children there is no grandfather who does not adore his grandson.
Victor Hugo
Image
The most powerful symptom of love is a tenderness which becomes at times almost insupportable.
Victor Hugo
Image
At the moment when her eyes closed, when all feeling vanished in her, she thought that she felt a touch of fire imprinted on her lips, a kiss more burning than the red-hot iron of the executioner.
Victor Hugo
Image
He left her. She was dissatisfied with him. He had preferred to incur her anger rather than cause her pain. He had kept all the pain for himself.
