Image
Well, for us, in history where goodness is a rare pearl, he who was good almost takes precedence over he who was great.
Victor Hugo
Image
One of the magnanimities of woman is to yield.
Victor Hugo
Image
To be a saint is the exception to be a just person is the rule. Err, stumble, commit sin, but be one of the just.
Victor Hugo
Image
Love is like a tree: it grows by itself, roots itself deeply in our being and continues to flourish over a heart in ruin. The inexplicable fact is that the blinder it is, the more tenacious it is. It is never stronger than when it is completely unreasonable.
Victor Hugo
Image
One drop of wine is enough to redden a whole glass of water.
Victor Hugo
Image
To sum up all, let it be known that science and religion are two identical words. The learned do not suspect this, no more do the religious. These two words express the two sides of the same fact, which is the infinite. Religion-Science, this is the future of the human mind.
Victor Hugo
Image
Change your opinions, keep to your principles change your leaves, keep intact your roots.
Victor Hugo
Image
Close by the Rights of Man, at the least set beside them, are the Rights of the Spirit.
Victor Hugo
Image
Each of our passions, even love, has a stomach that must not be overloaded. We must in everything write the word 'finis' in time we must restrain ourselves, when it becomes urgent we must draw the bolt on the appetite, play a fantasia on the violin, then break the strings with our own hand. The Wise man is he who knows when and how to stop.
Victor Hugo
Image
The great acts of love are done by those who are habitually performing small acts of kindness.
Victor Hugo
Image
I believe, sir, in all the progress. Air navigation is the result of the oceanic navigation: from water the human has to pass in the air. Everywhere where creation will be breathable to him, the human will penetrate into the creation. Our only limit is life.
Victor Hugo
Image
In love, such a word, whispered, is a mysterious kiss of the soul to the soul.
Victor Hugo
Image
When two mouths, made sacred by love, draw near to each other to create, it is impossible, that above that ineffable kiss there should not be a thrill in the immense mystery of the stars.
Victor Hugo
Image
He who is not master of his own thoughts is not accountable for his own deeds.
Victor Hugo
Image
The learned man knows that he is ignorant.
Victor Hugo
Image
You look at a star for two reasons, because it is luminous, and because it is impenetrable. You have beside you a sweeter radiance and a greater mystery, woman.
Victor Hugo
Image
Is there not in every human soul a primitive spark, a divine element, incorruptible in this world and immortal in the next, which can be developed by goodness, kindled, lit up, and made to radiate, and which evil can never entirely extinguish.
Victor Hugo
Image
In the opera we call love, the libretto is almost nothing.
Victor Hugo
Image
Not being heard is no reason for silence.
Victor Hugo
Image
Poetry contains philosophy as the soul contains reason.
