Victor Hugo

Thus, during those nineteen years of torture and slavery, did this soul rise and fall at the same time. Light entered on the one side, and darkness on the other.
Victor Hugo
Image

Victor Hugo
Image
To put everything in balance is good, to put everything in harmony is better.
Victor Hugo
Image
I am for religion, against religions.
Victor Hugo
Image
The paradise of the rich is made out of the hell of the poor.
Victor Hugo
Image
Our acts make or mar us, we are the children of our own deeds.
Victor Hugo
Image
Love is like a tree: it grows by itself, roots itself deeply in our being and continues to flourish over a heart in ruin. The inexplicable fact is that the blinder it is, the more tenacious it is. It is never stronger than when it is completely unreasonable.
Victor Hugo
Image
The sunshine was delightful, the foliage gently astir, more from the activity of birds than from the breeze. One gallant little bird, doubtless lovelorn, was singing his heart out at the top of a tall tree.
Victor Hugo
Image
Intelligence is the wife, imagination is the mistress, memory is the servant.
