More quotes by Victor Hugo
Love, thine is the future. Death, I use thee, but I hate thee. Citizens, there shall be in the future neither darkness nor thunderbolts neither ferocious ignorance nor blood for blood.
Victor Hugo
Those who pray always are necessary to those who never pray. In our view, the whole question is in the amount of thought that is mingled with prayer.
Victor Hugo
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

Victor Hugo
My tastes are aristocratic, my actions democratic.
Victor Hugo
At the shrine of friendship never say die, let the wine of friendship never run dry
Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
There shall be no slavery of the mind.
Victor Hugo
Melancholy is the happiness of being sad.
Victor Hugo
Nihilism has no substance. There is no such thing as nothingness, and zero does not exist. Everything is something. Nothing is nothing.
Victor Hugo
Fashions have done more harm than revolutions.
Victor Hugo
Concision in style, precision in thought, decision in life.
Victor Hugo
Let us fear ourselves. Prejudices are the real robbers vices are the real murderers. The great dangers lie within ourselves.
Victor Hugo
...We pray together, we are afraid together, and then we go to sleep. Even if Satan came into the house, no one would interfere. After all, what is there to fear in this house? There is always one with us who is the strongest. Satan may visit our house, but the good Lord lives here.
Victor Hugo
It is ourselves we have to fear. Prejudice is the real robber, and vice the real murderer.
Victor Hugo
When dictatorship is a fact, revolution becomes a right.
Victor Hugo
A library implies an act of faith which generations, still in darkness hid, sign in their night in witness of the dawn.
