More quotes by Victor Hugo
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
What I feel for you seems less of earth and more of a cloudless heaven.
Victor Hugo
Emotion is always new and the word has always served therein lies the difficulty of expressing emotion.
Victor Hugo
To love or have loved is all-sufficing. We must not ask for more. No other pearl is to be found in the shadowfolds of life. To love is an accomplishment.
Victor Hugo
Need is a low door which, when we must by stern necessity pass through, forces the greatest to bend down the most.
Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
He who is not capable of enduring poverty is not capable of being free.
Victor Hugo

But twist them all together and you have something tremendous.
Victor Hugo
You have enemies? Why, it is the story of every man who has done a great deed or created a new idea.
Victor Hugo
Separated lovers cheat absence by a thousand fancies which have their own reality. They are prevented from seeing one another and they cannot write nevertheless they find countless mysterious ways of corresponding, by sending each other the song of birds, the scent of flowers, the laughter of children.
Victor Hugo
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
A bird sings, a child prattles, but it is the same hymn hymn indistinct, inarticulate, but full of profound meaning.
Victor Hugo
Many great actions are committed in small struggles.
Victor Hugo
The holy law of Jesus Christ governs our civilisation, but it does not yet permeate it.
Victor Hugo
Large, heavy, ragged black clouds hung like crape hammocks beneath the starry cope of the night. You would have said that they were the cobwebs of the firmament.
Victor Hugo
A few feet under the ground reigns so profound a silence, and yet so much tumult on the surface!
Victor Hugo
Sublime upon sublime scarcely presents a contrast, and we need a little rest from everything, even the beautiful.
Victor Hugo
God whose gifts in gracious flood Unto all who seek are sent, Only asks you to be good And is content.
Victor Hugo
