One of the hardest labours of the just man is to expunge from his soul a malevolence which it is difficult to efface.
Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
Tobacco is the plant that converts thoughts into dreams.
Victor Hugo
Death belongs to God alone by what right do men touch that unknown thing?

Superstitions, bigotries, hypocrisies, prejudices, these phantoms, phantoms though they be, cling to life they have teeth and nails in their shadowy substance, and we must grapple with them individually and make war on them without truce for it is one of humanity's inevitabilities to be condemned to eternal struggle with phantoms.
Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
Look not at the face, young girl, look at the heart. The heart of a handsome young man is often deformed. There are hearts in which love does not keep. Young girl, the pine is not beautiful it is not beautiful like the poplar, but it keeps its foliage in winter.
Victor Hugo
From the oyster to the eagle, from the swine to the tiger, all animals are to be found in men and each of them exists in some man, sometimes several at the time. Animals are nothing but the portrayal of our virtues and vices made manifest to our eyes, the visible reflections of our souls. God displays them to us to give us food for thought.
Victor Hugo
Love is reducing the universe to one being.
Victor Hugo
Emotion is always new and the word has always served therein lies the difficulty of expressing emotion.
Victor Hugo
Hypocrisy is nothing, in fact, but a horrible hopefulness.
Victor Hugo
There is a secret drawer in every woman's heart.
Victor Hugo
Should we continue to look upwards? Is the light we can see in the sky one of those which will presently be extinguished? The ideal is terrifying to behold... brilliant but threatened on all sides by the dark forces that surround it: nevertheless, no more in danger than a star in the jaws of the clouds.
Victor Hugo
In love, such a word, whispered, is a mysterious kiss of the soul to the soul.
Victor Hugo
