Image
Great perils have this beauty, that they bring to light the fraternity of strangers.
Victor Hugo
Image
Thought is the work of the intellect, reverie is its self-indulgence. To substitute day-dreaming for thought is to confuse a poison with a source of nourishment.
Victor Hugo
Image
Forget not, never forget that you have promised me to use this silver to become an honest man.... Jean Valjean, my brother: you belong no longer to evil, but to good. It is your soul that I am buying for you. I withdraw it from dark thoughts and from the spirit of perdition, and I give it to God!
Victor Hugo
Image
People do not read stupidities with impunity.
Victor Hugo
Image
Nothing makes a man so adventurous as an empty pocket.
Victor Hugo
Image
Do you know what friendship is... it is to be brother and sister two souls which touch without mingling, two fingers on one hand.
Victor Hugo
Image
To see so much misery everywhere, I suspect that God is not rich. He keeps up appearances, it is true, but I feel the pinch. He gives a revolution as a merchant, whose credit is low, gives a ball.
Victor Hugo
Image
God became man, granted. The devil became a woman.
Victor Hugo
Image
There is one thing stronger than all the armies in the world, and that is an idea whose time as come.
Victor Hugo
Image
A few feet under the ground reigns so profound a silence, and yet so much tumult on the surface!
Victor Hugo
Image
Because a fact seems strange to you, you conclude that it is not one. ... All science, however, commences by being strange. Science is successive. It goes from one wonder to another. It mounts by a ladder. The science of to-day would seem extravagant to the science of a former time. Ptolemy would believe Newton mad.
Victor Hugo
Image
Idleness is a mother. She has a son, robbery, and a daughter, hunger.
Victor Hugo
Image
Style is the substance of the subject called unceasingly to the surface.
Victor Hugo
Image
It is sad to tell, but after having tried society, which had caused his misfortune, he tried Providence which created society, and condemned it also.
Victor Hugo
Image
The power of a glance has been so much abused in love stories, that it has come to be disbelieved in. Few people dare now to say that two beings have fallen in love because they have looked at each other. Yet it is in this way that love begins, and in this way only.
Victor Hugo
Image
Proverty and wealth are comparative sins.
Victor Hugo
Image
Architecture has recorded the great ideas of the human race. Not only every religious symbol, but every human thought has its page in that vast book.
Victor Hugo
Image
Nature is pitiless she never withdraws her flowers, her music, her fragrance, and her sunlight from before human cruelty or suffering.
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
...mothers are often fondest of the child which has caused them the greatest pain.
