There are no weeds, and no worthless men. There are only bad farmers.
Victor Hugo
Image
Music is the vapor of art. It is to poetry what reverie is to thought, what fluid is to solid, what the ocean of clouds is to the ocean of waves.
Victor Hugo
Image
Diamonds are found only in the dark places of the earth, truths are found only in the depths of thought.
Victor Hugo

Nobody loves the light like the blind man.
Victor Hugo
Image

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
The memory of an absent person shines in the deepest recesses of the heart, shining the more brightly the more wholly its object has vanished: a light on the horizon of the despairing, darkened spirit a star gleaming in our inward night.
Victor Hugo
Image
I wanted to see you again, touch you, know who you were, see if I would find you identical with the ideal image of you which had remained with me and perhaps shatter my dream with the aid of reality. -Claude Frollo
Victor Hugo
Image
When love has fused and mingled two beings in a sacred and angelic unity, the secret of life has been discovered so far as they are concerned they are no longer anything more than the two boundaries of the same destiny they are no longer anything but the two wings of the same spirit. Love, soar.
