People weighed down with troubles do not look back they know only too well that misfortune stalks them.
Victor Hugo
Image
He who contemplates the depths of Paris is seized with vertigo. Nothing is more fantastic. Nothing is more tragic. Nothing is more sublime.
Victor Hugo
Image
A library implies an act of faith which generations, still in darkness hid, sign in their night in witness of the dawn.
Victor Hugo
Image
If you look in the eyes of the young, you see flame. If you look in the eyes of the old, you see light.
Victor Hugo
Image
The peculiarity of sunrise is to make us laugh at all our terrors of the night, and our laugh is always proportioned to the fear we have had.
Victor Hugo

Let us fear the worst, but work with faith the best will always take care of itself.
Victor Hugo
Image
Each of our passions, even love, has a stomach that must not be overloaded. We must in everything write the word 'finis' in time we must restrain ourselves, when it becomes urgent we must draw the bolt on the appetite, play a fantasia on the violin, then break the strings with our own hand. The Wise man is he who knows when and how to stop.
Victor Hugo

The wind of revolutions is not tractable.
Victor Hugo
Image
We say and exclaim within ourselves without breaking silence, in a tumult where everything speaks except our mouths. The realities of the soul are none the less real for being invisible and impalpable.
Victor Hugo
Image
When two mouths, made sacred by love, draw near to each other to create, it is impossible, that above that ineffable kiss there should not be a thrill in the immense mystery of the stars.
Victor Hugo
Image
In the domain of art there is no light without heat.
Victor Hugo
Image
It is nothing to die. It is frightful not to live.
Victor Hugo
Image
There are, as we know, powerful and illustrious atheists. At bottom, led back to the truth by their very force, they are not absolutely sure that they are atheists it is with them only a question of definition, and in any case, if they do not believe in God, being great minds, they prove God.
Victor Hugo
Image
Try as you will, you cannot annihilate that eternal relic of the human heart, love.
Victor Hugo
Image
The ox suffers, the cart complains.
Victor Hugo
Image
It seems as though, at the approach of a certain dark hour, the light of heaven infills those who are leaving the light of earth.
