Image
To love is the half of to believe.
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
No religion but blasphemes a little.
Victor Hugo
Image
Love is a portion of the soul itself, and it is of the same nature as the celestial breathing of the atmosphere of paradise.
Victor Hugo
Image
When we are at the end of life, to die means to go away when we are at the beginning, to go away means to die.
Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
Image
A shadow is hard to seize by the throat and dash to the ground.
Victor Hugo
Image
Lastly, this threefold poetry flows from three great sources - The Bible, Homer, Shakespeare.... The Bible before the Iliad, the Iliad before Shakespeare.
Victor Hugo
Image
He had not yet lived long enough to have discovered that nothing is more close at hand then the impossible, and that what must be looked for is always the unforeseen.
Victor Hugo
Image
I write with one hand, but I fight with both.
Victor Hugo
Image
He who contemplates the depths of Paris is seized with vertigo. Nothing is more fantastic. Nothing is more tragic. Nothing is more sublime.
Victor Hugo
Image
Algebra applies to the clouds.
Victor Hugo
Image
At the shrine of friendship never say die, let the wine of friendship never run dry
Victor Hugo
Image
God secludes Himself but the thinker listens at the door.
Victor Hugo
