More quotes by Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
Primitive times are lyrical, ancient times epical, modern times dramatic. The ode sings of eternity, the epic imparts solemnity tohistory, the drama depicts life. The characteristic of the first poetry is ingeniousness, of the second, simplicity, of the third, truth.
Victor Hugo
One of the magnanimities of woman is to yield.
Victor Hugo
It is only barbarous nations who have a sudden growth after a victory
Victor Hugo
And then, strange to say, the first symptom of true love in a young man is timidity in a girl, it is boldness.
Victor Hugo
Morality is truth in full bloom.
Victor Hugo
Paris is a sum total. Paris is the ceiling of the human race. All this prodigious city is an epitome of dead and living manners and customs. He who sees Paris, seems to see all history through with the sky and constellations in the intervals.
Victor Hugo
