If you want to civilize a man, begin with his grandmother.
Victor Hugo
Image
Civil war? What does that mean? Is there any foreign war? Isn't every war fought between men, between brothers?
Victor Hugo
Image
My greatness does not extend to this shelf.
Victor Hugo
Image
We see past time in a telescope and present time in a microscope. Hence the apparent enormities of the present.

Too much improvisation leaves the mind stupidly void.
Victor Hugo

The first symptom of true love in a man is timidity, in a young woman, boldness. This is surprising, and yet nothing is more simple. It is the two sexes tending to approach each other and assuming each the other's qualities.

Do not ask the name of the person who seeks a bed for the night. He who is reluctant to give his name is the one who most needs shelter.
Victor Hugo
Image
Babylon violated diminishes Alexander Rome enslaved diminishes Caesar massacred Jerusalem diminishes Titus. Tyranny follows the tyrant. Woe to the man who leaves behind a shadow that bears his form.
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
A house is built of logs and stone, of tiles and posts and piers a home is built of loving deeds that stand a thousand years.
Victor Hugo
Image
The reduction of the universe to the compass of a single being, and the extension of a single being until it reaches God - that is love. Love is the salute of the angels to the stars. How sad is the heart when rendered sad by love! How great is the void created by the absence of the being who alone fills the world.
Victor Hugo

To love beauty is to see light.
