Image
where would the shout of love begin, if not from the summit of sacrifice?
Victor Hugo
Image
To give thanks in solitude is enough. Thanksgiving has wings and goes where it must go. Your prayer knows much more about it than you do.
Victor Hugo
Image
You have enemies? Why, it is the story of every man who has done a great deed or created a new idea. It is the cloud which thunders around everything that shines. Fame must have enemies, as light must have gnats. Do no bother yourself about it disdain. Keep your mind serene as you keep your life clear.
Victor Hugo
Image
To commit the least possible sin is the law for man. To live without sin is the dream of an angel. Everything terrestrial is subject to sin. Sin is a gravitation.
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

The man who fights against his own country is never a hero.
Victor Hugo
Image
To love another person is to see the face of God.
Victor Hugo
Image
True thinkers are characterized by a blending of clearness and mystery.
Victor Hugo
Image
Revery, which is thought in its nebulous state, borders closely upon the land of sleep, by which it is bounded as by a natural frontier.
Victor Hugo
Image
The mind's eye can nowhere find anything more dazzling or more dark than in man it can fix itself upon nothing which is more awful, more complex, more mysterious, or more infinite. There is one spectacle grander than the sea, that is the sky there is one spectacle grander than the sky, that is the interior of the soul.
Victor Hugo
Image
To rove about, musing, that is to say loitering, is, for a philosopher, a good way of spending time.
Victor Hugo
Image
Be happy without picking flaws.
Victor Hugo
Image
She loved with so much passion as she loved with ignorance. She did not know whether it were good or evil, beneficent or dangerous, necessary or accidental, eternal or transitory, permitted or prohibited: she loved.
Victor Hugo
Image
I'm religiously opposed to religion.
Victor Hugo
Image
There are many lovely women, but no perfect ones.
Victor Hugo
Image
Don't educate your children to be rich. Educate them to be happy, so they know the value of things, not the price.
Victor Hugo
Image
The supreme happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved.
Victor Hugo
Image
Be like the bird who, pausing in her flight awhile on boughs too slight, feels them give way beneath her, and yet sings, knowing she hath wings.
Victor Hugo
Image
If people did not love one another, I really don't see what use there would be in having any spring.
Victor Hugo
Image
People do not read stupidities with impunity.
