Quote
She loved with so much passion as she loved with ignorance. She did not know whether it were good or evil, beneficent or dangerous, necessary or accidental, eternal or transitory, permitted or prohibited: she loved.

More quotes by Victor Hugo
Memory is a gulf that a word can move to its lowest depths.
Victor Hugo
If the soul is left in darkness, sins will be committed. The guilty one is not he who commits the sin, but the one who causes the darkness.
Victor Hugo
Who then understands the reciprocal flux and reflux of the infinitely great and the infinitely small, the echoing of causes in the abysses of being, and the avalanches of creation?
Victor Hugo
Love is the foolishness of men, and the wisdom of God.
Victor Hugo
No man is more unhappy than the one who is never in adversity the greatest affliction of life is never to be afflicted.
Victor Hugo
To study in Paris is to be born in Paris!
Victor Hugo
As the purse is emptied, the heart is filled.
Victor Hugo
Human intelligence discovered a way of perpetuating itself, one not only more durable and more resistant than architecture, but also simpler and easier. Architecture was dethroned. The stone letters of Orpheus gave way to the lead letters of Gutenburg. The book will kill the edifice.
Victor Hugo
A stand can be made against invasion by an army no stand can be made against invasion by an idea.
Victor Hugo
Be as a bird perched on a frail branch that she feels bending beneath her, still she sings away all the same, knowing she has wings.
Victor Hugo
Life is the flower for which love is the honey.
Victor Hugo
Everything Changes. The only thing that remains immovable across the centuries and fixes the character of a people is cooking.
Victor Hugo
Death belongs to God alone by what right do men touch that unknown thing?
Victor Hugo
To give thanks in solitude is enough. Thanksgiving has wings and goes where it must go. Your prayer knows much more about it than you do.
Victor Hugo
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
Freedom in art, freedom in society, this is the double goal towards which all consistent and logical minds must strive.
Victor Hugo
Right is right only when entire.
Victor Hugo
You would have imagined her at one moment a maniac, at another a queen.
Victor Hugo
There is will in the thought, there is none in the dream. The dream, which is completely spontaneous, takes and keeps, even in the gigantic and the ideal, the form of our mind. Nothing springs more directly and more sincerely from the very bottom of our souls than our unreflected and indefinite aspirations towards the splendours of destiny.
Victor Hugo
To contemplate is to look at shadows.
Victor Hugo
