Mothers arms are made of tenderness, And sweet sleep blesses the child who lies therein.
Victor Hugo
Image
The most powerful symptom of love is a tenderness which becomes at times almost insupportable.
Victor Hugo
Image
It is ourselves we have to fear. Prejudice is the real robber, and vice the real murderer.
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.

Image
The clouds, - the only birds that never sleep.
Victor Hugo

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

The man is placed where the Earth ends, the woman, where the heaven starts.
Victor Hugo
Image

Victor Hugo
Image
Strange to say, the luminous world is the invisible world the luminous world is that which we do not see. Our eyes of flesh see only night.
Victor Hugo
Image
Genius is rare because the means of becoming one have not been available
Victor Hugo
Image
Love resembles a tree: it bends under its own weight, deeply rooted in our being and sometimes turns green in the ruins of a heart.
Victor Hugo
Image
Wisdom is the health of the soul.
Victor Hugo
Image
I was dying when you came.
Victor Hugo
Image
The quantity of civilization is measured by the quality of imagination.
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

Popularity - a piece of faded tinsel, that is out of date.

In the domain of art there is no light without heat.
