Social prosperity means man happy, the citizen free, the nation great.
Victor Hugo
Image
To die for lack of love is horrible. The asphyxia of the soul.
Victor Hugo
Image
Seeing so much poverty everywhere makes me think that God is not rich. He gives the appearance of it, but I suspect some financial difficulties.
Victor Hugo
Image
Let us leave to the brain what belongs to it, and agree that the work of the men of genius is of the superhuman, the offspring of man.
Victor Hugo
Image
The great acts of love are done by those who are habitually performing small acts of kindness.
Victor Hugo
Image
The reduction of the universe to the compass of a single being, and the extension of a single being until it reaches God - that is love. Love is the salute of the angels to the stars. How sad is the heart when rendered sad by love! How great is the void created by the absence of the being who alone fills the world.
Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
Image
Revery, which is thought in its nebulous state, borders closely upon the land of sleep, by which it is bounded as by a natural frontier.
Victor Hugo
Image
It is grievous for a man to leave behind him a shadow in his own shape.
Victor Hugo
Image
A strange thing has happened, do you know? I am in darkness. There is a person who, departing, took away the sun.
Victor Hugo
Image
where would the shout of love begin, if not from the summit of sacrifice?
Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
Image
The learned man knows that he is ignorant.
Victor Hugo
Image
A joyous little creature, so beautiful, It was as if a gate of Heaven opened as she came in.
Victor Hugo
Image
I am in the night. There is a being who has gone away and carried the heavens with her. Oh! to be laid side by side in the same tomb, hand clasped in hand, and from time to time, in the darkness, to caress a finger gently, that would suffice for my eternity.
Victor Hugo
