Do not let it be your aim to be something, but to be someone.
Victor Hugo
Image
From the oyster to the eagle, from the swine to the tiger, all animals are to be found in men and each of them exists in some man, sometimes several at the time. Animals are nothing but the portrayal of our virtues and vices made manifest to our eyes, the visible reflections of our souls. God displays them to us to give us food for thought.
Victor Hugo
Image
All who suffer are full of hatred all who live drag a remorse: the dead alone have broken their chains.
Victor Hugo
Image
Civil war.... What did the words mean? Was there any such thing as foreign war? Was not all warfare between men warfare between brothers?
Victor Hugo
Image
Let us fear ourselves. Prejudices are the real robbers vices are the real murderers. The great dangers lie within ourselves.
Victor Hugo
Image
One of the magnanimities of woman is to yield.
Victor Hugo
Image
At least you are mine! Soon – in a few months, perhaps, my angel will sleep in my arms, will awaken in my arms, will live there. All your thought at all moments, all your looks will be for me all my thought, all my moments, all my looks will be for you!
Victor Hugo
Image
Love is like a tree, it grows of its own accord, it puts down deep roots into our whole being.
Victor Hugo
Image
He would give all of his clothes to his servant, admonishing him NOT to return them until he had completed his day's work.
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
[T]he small is great, the great is small all is in equilibrium in necessity.
Victor Hugo
Image
What is said about men often has as much influence upon their lives, and especially upon their destinies, as what they do.
Victor Hugo
Image
England has two books, the Bible and Shakespeare. England made Shakespeare,but the Bible made England.
Victor Hugo
Image
Is it not when the fall is the lowest that charity ought to be the greatest?
Victor Hugo
Image
There are no weeds, and no worthless men. There are only bad farmers.
Victor Hugo
Image
Because a fact seems strange to you, you conclude that it is not one. ... All science, however, commences by being strange. Science is successive. It goes from one wonder to another. It mounts by a ladder. The science of to-day would seem extravagant to the science of a former time. Ptolemy would believe Newton mad.
Victor Hugo
Image
The realities of life do not allow themselves to be forgotten.
Victor Hugo
Image
Men hate those to whom they have to lie.
Victor Hugo
Image
But when ill indeed, Even dismissing the doctor don't always succeed.
Victor Hugo
Image
Rhyme, that enslaved queen, that supreme charm of our poetry, that creator of our meter.
