Image
Poetry contains philosophy as the soul contains reason.
Victor Hugo
Image
It is most pleasant to commit a just action which is disagreeable to someone whom one does not like.
Victor Hugo
Image
Teach the ignorant as much as you can society is culpable in not providing a free education for all and it must answer for the night which it produces. If the soul is left in darkness sins will be committed. The guilty one is not he who commits the sin, but he who causes the darkness.
Victor Hugo
Image
Men like me are impossible until the day when they become necessary.
Victor Hugo
Image
Be as a bird perched on a frail branch that she feels bending beneath her, still she sings away all the same, knowing she has wings.
Victor Hugo
Image
One cannot resist an idea whose time has come.
Victor Hugo

Dear God! how beauty varies in nature and art. In a woman the flesh must be like marble in a statue the marble must be like flesh.
Victor Hugo
Image
What would be ugly in a garden constitutes beauty in a mountain.
Victor Hugo

Do you know what friendship is... it is to be brother and sister two souls which touch without mingling, two fingers on one hand.
Victor Hugo
Image
A writer is a world trapped in a person.
Victor Hugo
Image
The soul helps the body, and at certain moments raises it. It is the only bird that sustains its cage.
Victor Hugo
Image
The greatest blunders, like the thickest ropes, are often compounded of a multitude of strands. Take the rope apart, separate it into the small threads that compose it, and you can break them one by one. You think, That is all there was! But twist them all together and you have something tremendous.
Victor Hugo
Image
The holy law of Jesus Christ governs our civilisation, but it does not yet permeate it.
Victor Hugo
Image
Jean Prouvaire was timid only in repose. Once excited, he burst forth, a sort of mirth accentuated his enthusiasm, and he was at once both laughing and lyric.
Victor Hugo
Image
I'm religiously opposed to religion.
Victor Hugo
Image
Dry happiness is like dry bread. We eat, but we do not dine. I wish for the superfluous, for the useless, for the extravagant, for the too much, for that which is not good for anything.
Victor Hugo
Image
The nearer I approach the end, the plainer I hear around me the immortal symphonies of the worlds which invite me. It is marvelous, yet simple.
Victor Hugo
Image
Love is a portion of the soul itself, and it is of the same nature as the celestial breathing of the atmosphere of paradise.
Victor Hugo
Image
If you are stone, be magnetic if a plant, be sensitive but if you are human be love.
Victor Hugo
Image
And the dream that our mind had sketched in haste Shall others continue, but never complete. For none upon earth can achieve his scheme The best as the worst are futile here: We wake at the self-same point of the dream, All is here begun, and finished elsewhere.
Victor Hugo
