What is called honors and dignities, and even honor and dignity, is generally fool's gold.
Victor Hugo
Image
God secludes Himself but the thinker listens at the door.
Victor Hugo
Image
In the relations of man with the animals, with the flowers, with all the objects of creation, there is a whole great ethic, scarcely perceived as yet, which will at length break through into the light, and which will be the corollary and the complement to human ethics.
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
The animal is ignorant of the fact that he knows. The man is aware of the fact that he is ignorant.
Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
Image
The convent, which belongs to the West as it does to the East, to antiquity as it does to the present time, to Buddhism and Muhammadanism as it does to Christianity, is one of the optical devices whereby man gains a glimpse of infinity.
Victor Hugo
Image
Curiosity is one of the forms of feminine bravery.
Victor Hugo
Image
...mothers are often fondest of the child which has caused them the greatest pain.
Victor Hugo
Image
There must be people who pray even for those who never pray.
Victor Hugo
Image
I didn't believe it could be so monstrous. It's wrong to be so absorbed in divine law as not to perceive human law. Death belongs to God alone. By what right do men tough that unknown thing?
Victor Hugo
Image
Love, thine is the future. Death, I use thee, but I hate thee. Citizens, there shall be in the future neither darkness nor thunderbolts neither ferocious ignorance nor blood for blood.
Victor Hugo
Image
The transept belfry and the two towers were to him three great cages, the birds in which, taught by him, would sing for him alone. Yet it was these same bells which had made him deaf but mothers are often fondest of the child who has made them suffer most.
