Liberation is not deliverance.
Victor Hugo
Image
The last resort of kings, the cannonball. The last resort of the people, the paving stone.
Victor Hugo
Image
The memory of an absent person shines in the deepest recesses of the heart, shining the more brightly the more wholly its object has vanished: a light on the horizon of the despairing, darkened spirit a star gleaming in our inward night.
Victor Hugo
Image
She had had sweet dreams, which possibly arose from the fact that her little bed was very white.
Victor Hugo
Image
Work, which makes a man free, and thought, which makes him worthy of freedom.
Victor Hugo
Image
If a man has his throat cut in Paris, it's a murder. If 50,000 people are murdered in the east, it is a question.
Victor Hugo
Image
It is God who makes woman beautiful, it is the devil who makes her pretty.
Victor Hugo
Image
Thought is the work of the intellect, reverie is its self-indulgence. To substitute day-dreaming for thought is to confuse a poison with a source of nourishment.
Victor Hugo
Image
Winter is on my head, but eternal spring is in my heart.
Victor Hugo
Image
Nothing awakens reminiscence like an aroma.
Victor Hugo
Image
If you look in the eyes of the young, you see flame. If you look in the eyes of the old, you see light.
Victor Hugo
Image
To sum up all, let it be known that science and religion are two identical words. The learned do not suspect this, no more do the religious. These two words express the two sides of the same fact, which is the infinite. Religion-Science, this is the future of the human mind.
Victor Hugo
Image
The peculiarity of sunrise is to make us laugh at all our terrors of the night, and our laugh is always proportioned to the fear we have had.
Victor Hugo
Image
There is no such thing as a little country. The greatness of a people is no more determined by their numbers than the greatness of a man is by his height.
Victor Hugo
Image
What is history? An echo of the past in the future a reflex from the future on the past.
Victor Hugo
Image
Years place at last a venerable crown upon a head.
Victor Hugo
Image
Prayer is an august avowal of ignorance.
Victor Hugo
Image
The day that a woman who is passing before you sheds a light upon you as she goes, you are lost, you love. You have then but one thing to do: to think of her so earnestly that she will be compelled to think of you.
Victor Hugo
Image
How did it happen that their lips came together? How does it happen that birds sing, that snow melts, that the rose unfolds, that the dawn whitens behind the stark shapes of trees on the quivering summit of the hill? A kiss, and all was said.
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.
