Image
To commit the least possible sin is the law for man. To live without sin is the dream of an angel. Everything terrestrial is subject to sin. Sin is a gravitation.
Victor Hugo
Image
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
Image
There is such a thing as the pressure of darkness.
Victor Hugo
Image
The onward march of the human race requires that the heights around it constantly blaze with noble lessons of courage. Deeds of daring dazzle history and form one of man's guiding lights.
Victor Hugo
Image
Do not let it be your aim to be something, but to be someone.
Victor Hugo
Image
Pain is as diverse as man. One suffers as one can.

The quantity of civilization is measured by the quality of imagination.
Victor Hugo
Image
The truth of an upright man must be accepted on his own terms. Moreover, since natures vary, we must agree that all the beauties of human excellence may be fostered by faiths that we do not share.
Victor Hugo
Image
There is one spectacle grander than the sea, that is the sky there is one spectacle grander than the sky, that is the interior of the soul.
Victor Hugo
Image
The poor man shuddered, overflowed with an angelic joy he declared in his transport that this would last through life he said to himself that he really had not suffered enough to deserve such radiant happiness, and he thanked God, in the depths of his soul, for having permitted that he, a miserable man, should be so loved by this innocent being.
Victor Hugo
Image
The human soul has still greater need of the ideal than of the real. It is by the real that we exist it is by the ideal that we live.
Victor Hugo
Image
The soul does not give itself up to despair until it has exhausted all illusions.
Victor Hugo
Image
A phenomenon often seen. A sceptic adhering to a believer that is as simple as the law of the complementary colours. What we lack attracts us. Nobody loves the light like the blind man.
Victor Hugo
Image
Look not at the face, young girl, look at the heart. The heart of a handsome young man is often deformed. There are hearts in which love does not keep. Young girl, the pine is not beautiful it is not beautiful like the poplar, but it keeps its foliage in winter.
Victor Hugo
Image
Logic ignores the almost, just as the sun ignores the candle.
Victor Hugo
Image
Promise to give me a kiss on my brow when I am dead.--I shall feel it.
Victor Hugo
Image
Memory is a gulf that a word can move to its lowest depths.
Victor Hugo
Image
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.
