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

There is something more terrible than a hell of suffering--a hell of boredom.
Victor Hugo
Image
Every good quality runs into a defect economy borders on avarice, the generous are not far from the prodigal, the brave man is close to the bully he who is very pious is slightly sanctimonious there are just as many vices to virtue as there are holes in the mantle of Diogenes.
Victor Hugo
Image
We are reassured almost as foolishly as we are alarmed human nature is so constituted.
Victor Hugo
Image
Nobody knows like a woman how to say things at the same time sweet and profound. Sweetness and depth, this is all of woman this is all of Heaven.
Victor Hugo
Image
To love or have loved, that is enough. Ask nothing further. There is no other pearl to be found in the dark folds of life.
