More quotes by Victor Hugo
Almost all our desires, when examined, contain something too shameful to reveal.
Victor Hugo
He, who every morning plans the transactions of the day, and follows that plan, carries a thread that will guide him through a labyrinth of the most busy life.
Victor Hugo
Blessed be Providence which has given to each his toy: the doll to the child, the child to the woman, the woman to the man, the man to the devil!
Victor Hugo
A faith is a necessity to a man. Woe to him who believes in nothing.
Victor Hugo
Most commonly revolt is born of material circumstances but insurrection is always a moral phenomenon. Revolt is Masaniello, who led the Neapolitan insurgents in 1647 but insurrection is Spartacus. Insurrection is a thing of the spirit, revolt is a thing of the stomach.
Victor Hugo
In winter there is no heat, no light, no noon, evening touches morning, there is fog, and mist, the window is frosted, and you cannot see clearly. The sky is but the mouth of a cave. The whole day is the cave.... Frightful season! Winter changes into stone the water of heaven and the heart of man.
Victor Hugo
We say that slavery has vanished from European civilization, but this is not true. Slavery still exists, but now it applies only to women and its name is prostitution.
Victor Hugo
As the purse is emptied, the heart is filled.
Victor Hugo
Let the one fight for his flag, and the other for his ideal, and let them both imagine that they are fighting for the country the strife will be colossal.
Victor Hugo
To breathe Paris is to preserve one's soul.
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
Great blunders are often made, like large ropes, of a multitude of fibers. Take the cable thread by thread, take separately all the little determining motives, you break them one after another, and you say: that is all! Wind them and twist them together, they become an enormity.
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
Good actions are the invisible hinges on the doors of heaven.
Victor Hugo
Change your opinions, keep to your principles change your leaves, keep intact your roots.
Victor Hugo
There is a secret drawer in every woman's heart.
Victor Hugo
A wedding is not house-keeping.
Victor Hugo
There is a sacred horror about everything grand. It is easy to admire mediocrity and hills but whatever is too lofty, a genius as well as a mountain, an assembly as well as a masterpiece, seen too near, is appalling.
Victor Hugo
A war between Europeans is a civil war.
Victor Hugo
Rhyme, that enslaved queen, that supreme charm of our poetry, that creator of our meter.
Victor Hugo
