More quotes by Victor Hugo
True or false, that which is said of men often occupies as important a place in their lives, and above all in their destinies, as that which they do.
Victor Hugo
I believe in religion against the religious in the pitifulness of orisons, and in the sublimity of prayer.
Victor Hugo
Life is a theatre set in which there are but few practicable entrances.
Victor Hugo
Who then can calculate the path of the molecule? how do we know that the creations of worlds are not determined by the fall of grains of sand?
Victor Hugo
One is not idle because one is absorbed. There is both visible and invisible labor. To contemplate is to toil, to think is to do. The crossed arms work, the clasped hands act. The eyes upturned to Heaven are an act of creation.
Victor Hugo
Sometimes he used a spade in his garden, and sometimes he read and wrote. He had but one name for these two kinds of labor he called them gardening. βThe Spirit is a garden,β said he
Victor Hugo
Liberation is not deliverance.
Victor Hugo
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
Intelligence is the wife, imagination is the mistress, memory is the servant.
Victor Hugo
Men hate those to whom they have to lie.
Victor Hugo
Revolutions are not born of chance but of necessity.
Victor Hugo
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
At least you are mine! Soon β in a few months, perhaps, my angel will sleep in my arms, will awaken in my arms, will live there. All your thought at all moments, all your looks will be for me all my thought, all my moments, all my looks will be for you!
Victor Hugo
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
God blesses man, not for having found but for having sought.
Victor Hugo
The greatest products of architecture are less the works of individuals than of society rather the offspring of a nation's effort, than the inspired flash of a man of genius.
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
He sought...to transform the grief which looks down into the grave by showing it the grief which looks up to the stars.
Victor Hugo
The truth of an upright man must be accepted on his own terms. Moreover, since natures vary, we must agree that all the beauties of human excellence may be fostered by faiths that we do not share.
Victor Hugo
Try as you will, you cannot annihilate that eternal relic of the human heart, love.
Victor Hugo
