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.

Image
He is the best gentleman that is the son of his own deserts, and not the degenerated heir of another's virtue.
Victor Hugo
Image
Who then understands the reciprocal flux and reflux of the infinitely great and the infinitely small, the echoing of causes in the abysses of being, and the avalanches of creation?
Victor Hugo
Image
In saying no to progress, it is not the future which they condemn, but themselves. They give themselves a melancholy disease they inoculate themselves with the past. There is but one way of refusing tomorrow, that is to die.
Victor Hugo
Image

Equality does not mean that all plants must grow to the same height - a society of tall grass and dwarf trees, a jostle of conflicting jealousies.

The learned man knows that he is ignorant.
Victor Hugo
Image

The paradise of the rich is made out of the hell of the poor.
Victor Hugo
Image
Diamonds are to be found only in the darkness of the earth, and truth in the darkness of the mind.
Victor Hugo
Image
To pay compliments to the one we love is the first method of caressing, a demi-audacity venturing. A compliment is something like a kiss through a veil.
Victor Hugo
Image
My revenge is fraternity! No more frontiers! The Rhine for everyone! Let us be the same Republic, let us be the United States of Europe, let us be the continental federation, let us be European liberty, let us be universal peace!
Victor Hugo
Image
At the shrine of friendship never say die, let the wine of friendship never run dry
Victor Hugo
Image
For sight is woman-like and shuns the old.
Victor Hugo
Image
Winter changes into stone the water of heaven and the heart of man.
Victor Hugo
Image
A one-eyed man is much more incomplete than a blind man, for he knows what it is that's lacking.
Victor Hugo
Image
There must be people who pray even for those who never pray.

An intelligent hell would be better than a stupid paradise.
