Image
Progress is not accomplished in one stage.
Victor Hugo
Image
Do not economize on the hymeneal rites do not prune them of their splendor, nor split farthings on the day when you are radiant. A wedding is not house-keeping.
Victor Hugo
Image
And do you know Monsieur Marius? I believe I was a little in love with you.
Victor Hugo
Image
We need those who pray constantly to compensate for those who do not pray at all.
Victor Hugo
Image
Marius and Cosette did not ask where this would lead them. They looked at themselves as arrived. It is a strange pretension for men to ask that love should lead them somewhere.
Victor Hugo
Image
To live a life which is a perpetual falsehood is to suffer unknown tortures.
Victor Hugo
Image
God made the water but men made the wine.
Victor Hugo
Image
I was always a lover of soft-winged things.
Victor Hugo
Image
A language does not become fixed. The human intellect is always on the march, or, if you prefer, in movement, and languages with it.
Victor Hugo
Image
Thought is the labor of the intellect, reverie is its pleasure.
Victor Hugo
Image
Conscience is God present in man.
Victor Hugo
Image
I met in the street a very poor young man who was in love. His hat was old, his coat worn, his cloak was out at the elbows, the water passed through his shoes, - and the stars through his soul.
Victor Hugo
Image
To rescue from oblivion even a fragment of a language which men have used and which is in danger of being lost -that is to say, one of the elements, whether good or bad, which have shaped and complicated civilization -is to extend the scope of social observation and to serve civilization.
Victor Hugo
Image
Music expresses that which cannot be put into words.
Victor Hugo
Image
As with stomachs, we should pity minds that do not eat.
Victor Hugo
Image
The need of the immaterial is the most deeply rooted of all needs. One must have bread but before bread, one must have the ideal.
Victor Hugo
Image
We see past time in a telescope and present time in a microscope. Hence the apparent enormities of the present.
Victor Hugo
Image
For prying into any human affairs, non are equal to those whom it does not concern.
Victor Hugo
Image
There are souls which, crab-like, crawl continually toward darkness, going back in life rather than advancing in it, using what experience they have to increase their deformity, growing worse without ceasing, and becoming steeped more and more thoroughly in an intensifying wickedness.
Victor Hugo
Image
What a grand thing, to be loved! What a grander thing still, to love!
Victor Hugo
