Quote

A phenomenon often seen. A sceptic adhering to a believer that is as simple as the law of the complementary colours. What we lack attracts us. Nobody loves the light like the blind man.

More quotes by Victor Hugo

Image
Should we continue to look upwards? Is the light we can see in the sky one of those which will presently be extinguished? The ideal is terrifying to behold... brilliant but threatened on all sides by the dark forces that surround it: nevertheless, no more in danger than a star in the jaws of the clouds.
Victor Hugo
Image
Art needs no spur beyond itself.
Victor Hugo
Image
It is ourselves we have to fear. Prejudice is the real robber, and vice the real murderer.

Equality does not mean that all plants must grow to the same height - a society of tall grass and dwarf trees, a jostle of conflicting jealousies. It means, in civic terms, an equal outlet for all talents in political terms, that all votes will carry the same weight and in religious terms that all beliefs will enjoy equal rights.
Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo

In winter there is no heat, no light, no noon, evening touches morning, there is fog, and mist, the window is frosted, and you cannot see clearly. The sky is but the mouth of a cave. The whole day is the cave.... Frightful season! Winter changes into stone the water of heaven and the heart of man.
Victor Hugo
Image
A doctor’s door should never be closed, a priest's door should always be open.
Victor Hugo
Image
Great perils have this beauty, that they bring to light the fraternity of strangers.
Victor Hugo
Image
The man is placed where the Earth ends, the woman, where the heaven starts.
Victor Hugo
Image
Hell is an outrage on humanity. When you tell me that your deity made you in his image, I reply that he must have been very ugly.
Victor Hugo
Image
Desiring always to be in mourning, he clothed himself with night.
Victor Hugo
Image
I love all men who think, even those who think otherwise than myself.
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
Image
The saints were his friends, and blessed him the monsters were his friends, and guarded him.

To die is nothing but it is terrible not to live.

Everything Changes. The only thing that remains immovable across the centuries and fixes the character of a people is cooking.
