Memory is a gulf that a word can move to its lowest depths.
Victor Hugo
Image
The jostling of young minds against each other has this wonderful attribute, that one can never foresee the spark, nor predict the flash. What will spring up in a moment? Nobody knows.
Victor Hugo
Image
His whole life was now summed up in two words: absolute uncertainty within an impenetrable fog.

Image
Forget not, never forget that you have promised me to use this silver to become an honest man.... Jean Valjean, my brother: you belong no longer to evil, but to good. It is your soul that I am buying for you. I withdraw it from dark thoughts and from the spirit of perdition, and I give it to God!

What says the law? You will not kill. How does it say it? By killing!
Victor Hugo
Image
Great griefs exhaust. They discourage us with life. The man into whom they enter feels something taken from him. In youth, their visit is sad later on, it is ominous.
Victor Hugo
Image
To study in Paris is to be born in Paris!
Victor Hugo
Image
I was dying when you came.
Victor Hugo
Image
The power of a glance has been so much abused in love stories, that it has come to be disbelieved in. Few people dare now to say that two beings have fallen in love because they have looked at each other. Yet it is in this way that love begins, and in this way only.
Victor Hugo
Image
I think, therefore I doubt.
Victor Hugo
Image
We are not loved by our friends for what we are rather, we are loved in spite of what we are.
Victor Hugo
