More quotes by Victor Hugo

Image
In this world, which is so plainly the antechamber of another, there are no happy men. The true division of humanity is between those who live in light and those who live in darkness. Our aim must be to diminish the number of the latter and increase the number of the former. That is why we demand education and knowledge.
Victor Hugo
Image
We need those who pray constantly to compensate for those who do not pray at all.
Victor Hugo
Image
Music is the vapor of art. It is to poetry what reverie is to thought, what fluid is to solid, what the ocean of clouds is to the ocean of waves.
Victor Hugo
Image
What dangers you run, O noble souls! Often, you give your heart, but we take only your body. Your heart is left to you and you look at it in the shadows and shudder.
Victor Hugo
Image
It is by suffering that human beings become angels.
Victor Hugo
Image
The soul helps the body, and at certain moments raises it. It is the only bird that sustains its cage.
Victor Hugo
Image
Every body drags its shadow, and every mind its doubt.
Victor Hugo
Image
A mother's arms are made of tenderness and children sleep soundly in them.
Victor Hugo

The aim of art is almost divine: to bring to life again if it is writing history, to create if it is writing poetry.
Victor Hugo
Image
I had a dream my life would be different from this hell I am living, so different from what it seemed. Now life has killed the dream I dreamed.
Victor Hugo
Image
The learned man knows that he is ignorant.
Victor Hugo
Image
Life is a flower of which love is honey.
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
Image
Men become accustomed to poison by degrees.
Victor Hugo
Image
Table talk and Lovers' talk equally elude the grasp Lovers' talk is clouds, table talk is smoke.
Victor Hugo
Image
Night and the day, when united, Bring forth the beautiful light.
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
As for the bishop, the sight of the guillotine was a great shock to him, from which he recovered only slowly.
Victor Hugo
Image
There is no such thing as a little country. The greatness of a people is no more determined by their numbers than the greatness of a man is by his height.
Victor Hugo
Image
Dear God! how beauty varies in nature and art. In a woman the flesh must be like marble in a statue the marble must be like flesh.
Victor Hugo
