To err is human. To loaf is Parisian.
Victor Hugo

To rove about, musing, that is to say loitering, is, for a philosopher, a good way of spending time.
Victor Hugo
Image
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.

...We pray together, we are afraid together, and then we go to sleep. Even if Satan came into the house, no one would interfere. After all, what is there to fear in this house? There is always one with us who is the strongest. Satan may visit our house, but the good Lord lives here.

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!

To pay compliments to the one we love is the first method of caressing, a demi-audacity venturing. A compliment is something like a kiss through a veil.
Victor Hugo
Image
Go to sleep in peace. God is awake.
Victor Hugo
Image
As we have explained, in first love the soul is taken long before the body later the body is taken long before the soul sometimes the soul is not taken at all.
Victor Hugo

Change your opinions, keep to your principles change your leaves, keep intact your roots.
Victor Hugo
Image
Great blunders are often made, like large ropes, of a multitude of fibres.
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.
Victor Hugo
Image
Mankind is not a circle with a single center but an ellipse with two focal points of which facts are one and ideas the other.
Victor Hugo
