Victor Hugo
To divinise is human, to humanise is divine.
Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
Wisdom is a sacred communion.
Victor Hugo
To have lied is to have suffered.
Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
Social prosperity means man happy, the citizen free, the nation great.
Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
You are adorable, mademoiselle. I study your feet with the microscope and your soul with the telescope.
Victor Hugo
Take all reasonable advantage of that which the present may offer you. It is the only time which is ours. Yesterday is buried forever, and to-morrow we may never see.
Victor Hugo
Genius is rare because the means of becoming one have not been available
Victor Hugo
Of all the things that God has made, the human heart is the one which sheds the most light, alas! and the most darkness.
Victor Hugo
Men like me are impossible until the day when they become necessary.
Victor Hugo
