More quotes by Victor Hugo
I am for religion, against religions.
Victor Hugo
M. Myriel had to undergo the fate of every newcomer in a little town, where there are many mouths which talk, and very few heads which think.
Victor Hugo
The greatest blunders, like the thickest ropes, are often compounded of a multitude of strands.

Victor Hugo
We teachers make the road, others will make the journey.
Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
To give thanks in solitude is enough. Thanksgiving has wings and goes where it must go. Your prayer knows much more about it than you do.
Victor Hugo
It has become necessary to call the attention of European governments to a fact which is apparently so insignificant that the governments seem not to notice it. The fact is this: an entire people is being annihilated. Where? In Europe. Are there witnesses? One witness, the entire world. Do the governments see it? No.
Victor Hugo
Reality in strong doses frightens.
Victor Hugo
Everything Changes. The only thing that remains immovable across the centuries and fixes the character of a people is cooking.
Victor Hugo
If you would civilize a man, begin with his grandmother.
Victor Hugo
Genius is a promontory jutting out into the infinite.
Victor Hugo
It is a terrible thing to be happy! How pleased we are with it! How all-sufficient we think it! How, being in possession of the false aim of life, happiness, we forget the true aim, duty!
Victor Hugo
A smile is the same as sunshine it banishes winter from the human countenance.
Victor Hugo
Don't educate your children to be rich. Educate them to be happy, so they know the value of things, not the price.
Victor Hugo
