More quotes by Victor Hugo
The production of souls is the secret of unfathomable depth.
Victor Hugo
A man is not idle because he is absorbed in thought. There is a visible labor and there is an invisible labor.
Victor Hugo
When I speak to you about myself, I am speaking to you about yourself. How is it you don't see that?
Victor Hugo
In this world, which is so plainly the antechamber of another, there are no happy men. The true division of humanity is between those who live in light and those who live in darkness. Our aim must be to diminish the number of the latter and increase the number of the former. That is why we demand education and knowledge.
Victor Hugo
If I speak, I am condemned. If I stay silent, I am damned!
Victor Hugo
I'm religiously opposed to religion.
Victor Hugo
For true poetry, complete poetry, consists in the harmony of contraries. Hence, it is time to say aloud--and it is here above allthat exceptions prove the rule--that everything that exists in nature exists in art.
Victor Hugo
Love is reducing the universe to one being.
Victor Hugo
Revolutions spring not from accident, but from necessity. A revolution is a return from the factitious to the real. It takes place because it must.
Victor Hugo
Spira, spera. (breathe, hope)
Victor Hugo
These are true felicities. No joy beyond these joys. Love is the only ecstasy, everything else weeps
Victor Hugo
The most excellent symbol of the people is the paving stone. One walks on it until it falls on one's head.
Victor Hugo
A library implies an act of faith.
Victor Hugo
The thirst for the Infinite proves infinity.
Victor Hugo
Have no fear of robbers or murderers. They are external dangers, petty dangers. We should fear ourselves. Prejudices are the real robbers vices the real murderers. The great dangers are within us. Why worry about what threatens our heads or our purses? Let us think instead of what threatens our souls.
Victor Hugo
I dislike wealth and prosperity, especially that of other men.
Victor Hugo
I advance in life, I grow more simple, and I become more and more patriotic for humanity.
Victor Hugo
The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves.
Victor Hugo
If we must suffer, let us suffer nobly.
Victor Hugo
He who is not capable of enduring poverty is not capable of being free.
Victor Hugo
