To love or have loved is all-sufficing. We must not ask for more. No other pearl is to be found in the shadowfolds of life. To love is an accomplishment.

More quotes by Victor Hugo
Love is like a tree: it grows by itself, roots itself deeply in our being and continues to flourish over a heart in ruin. The inexplicable fact is that the blinder it is, the more tenacious it is. It is never stronger than when it is completely unreasonable.
Victor Hugo
I would rather be the head of a fly than the tail of a lion.
Victor Hugo
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
The future has several names. For the weak, it is impossible for the fainthearted, it is unknown but for the valiant, it is ideal.
Victor Hugo
Go out in the world and work like money doesn't matter, sing as if no one is listening, love as if you have never been hurt, and dance as if no one is watching.
Victor Hugo
It is the end. But of what? The end of France? No. The end of kings? Yes.
Victor Hugo
It is nothing to die. It is frightful not to live.
Victor Hugo
Philosophy is the microscope of thought. Everything desires to flee from it, but nothing escapes it.
Victor Hugo
As we have explained, in first love the soul is taken long before the body later the body is taken long before the soul sometimes the soul is not taken at all.
Victor Hugo
There is will in the thought, there is none in the dream. The dream, which is completely spontaneous, takes and keeps, even in the gigantic and the ideal, the form of our mind. Nothing springs more directly and more sincerely from the very bottom of our souls than our unreflected and indefinite aspirations towards the splendours of destiny.
Victor Hugo
I met in the street a very poor young man who was in love. His hat was old, his coat worn, his cloak was out at the elbows, the water passed through his shoes, - and the stars through his soul.
Victor Hugo
Animals are nothing but the portrayal of our virtues and vices made manifest to our eyes, the visible reflections of our souls.
Victor Hugo
There are fathers who do not love their children there is no grandfather who does not adore his grandson.
Victor Hugo
Waterloo is a battle of the first rank won by a captain of the second
Victor Hugo
Thus, during those nineteen years of torture and slavery, did this soul rise and fall at the same time. Light entered on the one side, and darkness on the other.
Victor Hugo
To love beauty is to see light.
Victor Hugo
The pupil dilates in darkness and in the end finds light, just as the soul dilates in misfortune and in the end finds God.
Victor Hugo
Love is the foolishness of men, and the wisdom of God.
Victor Hugo
If you are stone, be magnetic if a plant, be sensitive but if you are human be love.
Victor Hugo
Where no plan is laid, where the disposal of time is surrendered merely to the chance of incident, chaos will soon reign.
Victor Hugo
