More quotes by Victor Hugo
When a man understands the art of seeing, he can trace the spirit of an age and the features of a king even in the knocker on a door.
Victor Hugo
When the heart is dry the eye is dry.
Victor Hugo
An increase of tenderness always ended by boiling over and turning to indignation. He was at the point where we seek to adopt a course, and to accept what tears us apart.
Victor Hugo
Success is a very hideous thing. Its false resemblance to merit deceives men.
Victor Hugo
Dost thou understand? I love thee! he cried again.What love! said the unhappy girl with a shudder.He resumed,--The love of a damned soul.
Victor Hugo
Is it not a thing divine to have a smile which, none know how, has the power to lighten the weight of that enormous chain which all the living in common drag behind them?
Victor Hugo
I write with one hand, but I fight with both.
Victor Hugo
A wretched woman is more unfortunate than a wretched man.
Victor Hugo
He who opens a school door, closes a prison.
Victor Hugo
Despots play their part in the works of thinkers. Fettered words are terrible words. The writer doubles and trebles the power of his writing when a ruler imposes silence on the people. Something emerges from that enforced silence, a mysterious fullness which filters through and becomes steely in the thought.
Victor Hugo
The English took the eagle and Austrians the eaglet. [Fr., L'Angleterre prit l'aigle, et l'Autriche l'aiglon.]
Victor Hugo
If you would civilize a man, begin with his grandmother.
Victor Hugo
I'd like a drink. I desire to forget life. Life is a hideous invention by somebody I don't know. It doesn't last, and it's good for nothing. You break your neck simply living.
Victor Hugo
Sorrow is a fruit. God does not make it grow on limbs too weak to bear it.
Victor Hugo
You would have imagined her at one moment a maniac, at another a queen.
Victor Hugo
The mind's eye can nowhere find anything more dazzling or more dark than in man it can fix itself upon nothing which is more awful, more complex, more mysterious, or more infinite. There is one spectacle grander than the sea, that is the sky there is one spectacle grander than the sky, that is the interior of the soul.
Victor Hugo
What is fright by night is curiosity by day.
Victor Hugo
Mirrors, those revealers of the truth, are hated that does not prevent them from being of use.
Victor Hugo
A stand can be made against invasion by an army no stand can be made against invasion by an idea.
Victor Hugo
Life is a flower of which love is honey.
Victor Hugo
