The cruel of heart have their own black happiness.
Victor Hugo
Image
Marius and Cosette were in the dark in regard to each other. They did not speak, they did not bow, they were not acquainted they saw each other and, like the stars in the sky separated by millions of leagues, they lived by gazing upon each other.
Victor Hugo
Image
History has its truth, and so has legend. Legendary truth is of another nature than historical truth. Legendary truth is invention whose result is reality. Furthermore, history and legend have the same goal to depict eternal man beneath momentary man.
Victor Hugo
Image
In this world, which is so plainly the antechamber of another, there are no happy men. The true division of humanity is between those who live in light and those who live in darkness. Our aim must be to diminish the number of the latter and increase the number of the former. That is why we demand education and knowledge.
Victor Hugo
Image
When two mouths, made sacred by love, draw near to each other to create, it is impossible, that above that ineffable kiss there should not be a thrill in the immense mystery of the stars.
Victor Hugo

I'm not in the world to guard my own life, but to guard souls
Victor Hugo
Image
These are dark radiances. They have no suspicion that they are to be pitied. Certainly they are so. He who does not weep does not see. They are to be admired and pitied, as one would both pity and admire a being at once night and day, without eyes beneath his lashes but with a star on his brow.
Victor Hugo
Image
Because one doesn't like the way things are is no reason to be unjust towards God.
Victor Hugo
Image
One cannot resist an idea whose time has come.
Victor Hugo
Image
The hand which moves over the dial moves also among souls.
Victor Hugo
Image
Genius is rare because the means of becoming one have not been available
Victor Hugo
Image
A one-eyed man is much more incomplete than a blind man, for he knows what it is that's lacking.
Victor Hugo
Image
People weighed down with troubles do not look back they know only too well that misfortune stalks them.
Victor Hugo
Image
If you are leaving that sorrowful place with hate and anger against men, you are worthy of compassion if you leave it with good will, gentleness and peace, you are better than any of us.
Victor Hugo
Image
What happened between those two beings? Nothing. They were adoring one another.
Victor Hugo
Image
Poetry contains philosophy as the soul contains reason.
Victor Hugo
Image
Oh! Everything I loved!
Victor Hugo

Winter changes into stone the water of heaven and the heart of man.
