Victor Hugo
Image

A wretched woman is more unfortunate than a wretched man.
Victor Hugo

Nobody knows like a woman how to say things at the same time sweet and profound. Sweetness and depth, this is all of woman this is all of Heaven.
Victor Hugo
Image
Beauty is as useful as the useful. More so, perhaps. (Le beau est aussi utile que l'utile. Plus peut-etre.)
Victor Hugo
Image
Fashions have done more harm than revolutions.
Victor Hugo
Image
Nothing is more true, more real, than the primeval magnetic disturbances that two souls may communicate to one another, through the tiny sparks of a moment's glance.
Victor Hugo
