Death belongs to God alone by what right do men touch that unknown thing?
Victor Hugo
To breathe Paris is to preserve one's soul.
Victor Hugo
In the Twentieth Century war will be dead, the scaffold will be dead, hatred will be dead, frontier boundaries will be dead, dogmas will be dead man will live. He will possess something higher than all these-a great country, the whole earth, and a great hope, the whole heaven.
Victor Hugo
Each man should frame life so that at some future hour fact and his dreaming meet.
Victor Hugo
No religion but blasphemes a little.
Victor Hugo
O youth! thou often tearest thy wings against the thorns of voluptuousness.
Victor Hugo
Is there not in every human soul a primitive spark, a divine element, incorruptible in this world and immortal in the next, which can be developed by goodness, kindled, lit up, and made to radiate, and which evil can never entirely extinguish.
Victor Hugo
If the soul is left in darkness, sins will be committed. The guilty one is not he who commits the sin, but the one who causes the darkness.
Victor Hugo
When love has fused and mingled two beings in a sacred and angelic unity, the secret of life has been discovered so far as they are concerned they are no longer anything more than the two boundaries of the same destiny they are no longer anything but the two wings of the same spirit. Love, soar.
Victor Hugo
It seems as though, at the approach of a certain dark hour, the light of heaven infills those who are leaving the light of earth.
Victor Hugo
Everything Changes. The only thing that remains immovable across the centuries and fixes the character of a people is cooking.
Victor Hugo
It is the end. But of what? The end of France? No. The end of kings? Yes.
Victor Hugo
...We pray together, we are afraid together, and then we go to sleep. Even if Satan came into the house, no one would interfere. After all, what is there to fear in this house? There is always one with us who is the strongest. Satan may visit our house, but the good Lord lives here.
Victor Hugo
The little people must be sacred to the big ones, and it is from the rights of the weak that the duty of the strong is comprised.
Victor Hugo
A library implies an act of faith which generations, still in darkness hid, sign in their night in witness of the dawn.
Victor Hugo
Superstitions, bigotries, hypocrisies, prejudices, these phantoms, phantoms though they be, cling to life they have teeth and nails in their shadowy substance, and we must grapple with them individually and make war on them without truce for it is one of humanity's inevitabilities to be condemned to eternal struggle with phantoms.
Victor Hugo
To have lied is to have suffered.
Victor Hugo
The transept belfry and the two towers were to him three great cages, the birds in which, taught by him, would sing for him alone. Yet it was these same bells which had made him deaf but mothers are often fondest of the child who has made them suffer most.
Victor Hugo
Paris is a sum total. Paris is the ceiling of the human race. All this prodigious city is an epitome of dead and living manners and customs. He who sees Paris, seems to see all history through with the sky and constellations in the intervals.
Victor Hugo
Ideas can no more flow backward than can a river.
Victor Hugo
