Image
If the infinite had no me, then me would be its limit. It would not be the infinite, therefore it would not be.
Victor Hugo

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

Is there not in every human soul a primitive spark, a divine element, incorruptible in this world and immortal in the next, which can be developed by goodness, kindled, lit up, and made to radiate, and which evil can never entirely extinguish.
Victor Hugo
Image
No one knows like a woman how to say things which are at once gentle and deep.
Victor Hugo
Image
To divinise is human, to humanise is divine.
Victor Hugo

The true artist can only labor con amore.
Victor Hugo

Nobody knows like a woman how to say things at the same time sweet and profound. Sweetness and depth, this is all of woman this is all of Heaven.
