More quotes by Victor Hugo
I'd like a drink. I desire to forget life. Life is a hideous invention by somebody I don't know. It doesn't last, and it's good for nothing. You break your neck simply living.
Victor Hugo
A creditor is worse than a slave-owner for the master owns only your person, but a creditor owns your dignity, and can command it.
Victor Hugo
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
The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves.
Victor Hugo
Friend is sometimes a word devoid of meaning enemy, never.
Victor Hugo
Paris is a sum total. Paris is the ceiling of the human race. All this prodigious city is an epitome of dead and living manners and customs. He who sees Paris, seems to see all history through with the sky and constellations in the intervals.
Victor Hugo
Philosophy is the microscope of thought.
Victor Hugo
Civil war? What does that mean? Is there any foreign war? Isn't every war fought between men, between brothers?
Victor Hugo
The owl goes not into the nest of the lark.
Victor Hugo
Son, brother, father, lover, friend. There is room in the heart for all the affections, as there is room in heaven for all the stars.
Victor Hugo
If a man has his throat cut in Paris, it's a murder. If 50,000 people are murdered in the east, it is a question.
Victor Hugo
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
God created the flirt as soon as he made the fool.
Victor Hugo
One can no more keep the mind from returning to an idea than the sea from returning to a shore. For a sailor, this is called the tide in the case of the guilty it is called remorse. God stirs up the soul as well as the ocean.
Victor Hugo
One drop of wine is enough to redden a whole glass of water.
Victor Hugo
We are all under sentence of death, but with a sort of indefinite reprieve.
Victor Hugo
There are people who observe the rules of honor as one observes the stars, from a great distance.
Victor Hugo
No one ever keeps a secret so well as a child.
Victor Hugo
Sublime upon sublime scarcely presents a contrast, and we need a little rest from everything, even the beautiful.
Victor Hugo
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
