More quotes by Victor Hugo

Image
Let us say it now: to be blind and to be loved, is indeed, upon this earth where nothing is complete, one of the most strangely exquisite forms of happiness.
Victor Hugo
Image
There are many lovely women, but no perfect ones.
Victor Hugo
Image
Go out in the world and work like money doesn't matter, sing as if no one is listening, love as if you have never been hurt, and dance as if no one is watching.
Victor Hugo
Image
Love is like a tree: it grows by itself, roots itself deeply in our being and continues to flourish over a heart in ruin. The inexplicable fact is that the blinder it is, the more tenacious it is. It is never stronger than when it is completely unreasonable.
Victor Hugo
Image
Freedom begins where it ends ignorance.
Victor Hugo
Image
Wonderful nature has a double meaning, which dazzles great minds and blinds uncultivated souls. When man is ignorant, when the desert is filled with visions, the darkness of solitude is added to the darkness of intelligence hence, in man, the possibilities of perdition
Victor Hugo
Image
Sleep comes more easily than it returns.
Victor Hugo
Image
No army can withstand the strength of an idea whose time has come.
Victor Hugo
Image
England has two books, the Bible and Shakespeare. England made Shakespeare,but the Bible made England.
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
What is called honors and dignities, and even honor and dignity, is generally fool's gold.
Victor Hugo
Image
Houses are like the human beings that inhabit them.
Victor Hugo
Image
The soul in the darkness sins, but the real sinner is he who caused the darkness.
Victor Hugo
Image
The first symptom of true love in a man is timidity, in a young woman, boldness. This is surprising, and yet nothing is more simple. It is the two sexes tending to approach each other and assuming each the other's qualities.
Victor Hugo
Image
Every man is a book in which God himself writes.
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
You ask me what forces me to speak? a strange thing my conscience.
Victor Hugo
Image
Kings are for nations in their swaddling-clothes: France has attained her majority.
Victor Hugo
Image
Nihilism has no substance. There is no such thing as nothingness, and zero does not exist. Everything is something. Nothing is nothing.
Victor Hugo
Image
There are fathers who do not love their children there is no grandfather who does not adore his grandson.
