More quotes by Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo

Lastly, this threefold poetry flows from three great sources - The Bible, Homer, Shakespeare.... The Bible before the Iliad, the Iliad before Shakespeare.
Victor Hugo
Between the government which does evil and the people who accept it - there is a certain shameful solidarity.
Victor Hugo
The realities of life do not allow themselves to be forgotten.
Victor Hugo
Nothing is more true, more real, than the primeval magnetic disturbances that two souls may communicate to one another, through the tiny sparks of a moment's glance.
