Image
It is from books that wise men derive consolation in the troubles of life.
Victor Hugo
Image
The poor man shuddered, overflowed with an angelic joy he declared in his transport that this would last through life he said to himself that he really had not suffered enough to deserve such radiant happiness, and he thanked God, in the depths of his soul, for having permitted that he, a miserable man, should be so loved by this innocent being.
Victor Hugo
Image
Love each other dearly always. There is scarcely anything else in the world but that: to love one another.
Victor Hugo
Image
Dry happiness is like dry bread. We eat, but we do not dine. I wish for the superfluous, for the useless, for the extravagant, for the too much, for that which is not good for anything.
Victor Hugo
Image
Our mind is enriched by what we receive, our heart by what we give.
Victor Hugo
Image
Teach the ignorant as much as you can society is culpable in not providing a free education for all and it must answer for the night which it produces. If the soul is left in darkness sins will be committed. The guilty one is not he who commits the sin, but he who causes the darkness.
Victor Hugo
Image
I am not in the world to care for my life, but for souls.
Victor Hugo
Image
Great blunders are often made, like large ropes, of a multitude of fibers. Take the cable thread by thread, take separately all the little determining motives, you break them one after another, and you say: that is all! Wind them and twist them together, they become an enormity.
Victor Hugo
Image
That is the explanation of war, an outrage by humanity upon humanity in despite of humanity.
Victor Hugo
Image
There is no vacuum in the human heart. Certain demolitions take place, and it is well that they do, but on condition that they are followed by reconstructions.
Victor Hugo
Image
Enthusiasm is the fever of reason.
Victor Hugo
Image
...Man lives by affirmation even more than he does by bread.
Victor Hugo
Image
As for methods of prayer, all of them are good as long as they are sincere.
Victor Hugo
Image
No one knows like a woman how to say things which are at once gentle and deep.
Victor Hugo
Image
In the Twentieth Century war will be dead, the scaffold will be dead, hatred will be dead, frontier boundaries will be dead, dogmas will be dead man will live. He will possess something higher than all these-a great country, the whole earth, and a great hope, the whole heaven.
Victor Hugo
Image
The little people must be sacred to the big ones, and it is from the rights of the weak that the duty of the strong is comprised.
Victor Hugo
Image
Mankind is not a circle with a single center but an ellipse with two focal points of which facts are one and ideas the other.
Victor Hugo
Image
The holy law of Jesus Christ governs our civilisation, but it does not yet permeate it.
Victor Hugo
Image
Let us fear ourselves. Prejudices are the real robbers vices are the real murderers. The great dangers lie within ourselves.
Victor Hugo
Image
Every man is a book in which God himself writes.
