And do you know Monsieur Marius? I believe I was a little in love with you.
Victor Hugo
A great artist is a great man in a great child.
Victor Hugo
The human soul has still greater need of the ideal than of the real. It is by the real that we exist it is by the ideal that we live.
Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
The wise man does not grow old, but ripens.
Victor Hugo
Diamonds are found only in the dark places of the earth, truths are found only in the depths of thought.
Victor Hugo
He who is not capable of enduring poverty is not capable of being free.
Victor Hugo
Nature is pitiless she never withdraws her flowers, her music, her fragrance, and her sunlight from before human cruelty or suffering.
Victor Hugo
I will be Chateaubriand or nothing.
Victor Hugo
I'm not in the world to guard my own life, but to guard souls
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
