More quotes by Victor Hugo

Image
Loving is almost a substitute for thinking. Love is a burning forgetfulness of all other things. How shall we ask passion to be logical?
Victor Hugo
Image
There is but one way of refusing To-morrow, that is to die.
Victor Hugo
Image
A woman's best qualities are harmful if undiluted with prudence.
Victor Hugo
Image
The earth is a great piece of stupidity.
Victor Hugo
Image
I don't mind what Congress does, as long as they don't do it in the streets and frighten the horses.
Victor Hugo
Image
Go to sleep in peace. God is awake.
Victor Hugo
Image
Word which the finger of God has written on the brow of every man — hope!
Victor Hugo
Image
Not seeing people allows you to think of them as perfect in all kinds of ways.
Victor Hugo
Image
I have been loving you a little more every minute since this morning.
Victor Hugo
Image
Have no fear of robbers or murderers. They are external dangers, petty dangers. We should fear ourselves. Prejudices are the real robbers vices the real murderers. The great dangers are within us. Why worry about what threatens our heads or our purses? Let us think instead of what threatens our souls.
Victor Hugo
Image
Let the one fight for his flag, and the other for his ideal, and let them both imagine that they are fighting for the country the strife will be colossal.
Victor Hugo
Image
The sadness which reigned everywhere was but an excuse for unfailing kindness.
Victor Hugo
Image
Profound hearts, wise minds, take life as God makes it it is a long trial, and unintelligible preparation for the unknown destiny.
Victor Hugo
Image
Wisdom is the health of the soul.
Victor Hugo
Image
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
Image
Nothing discernible to the eye of the spirit is more brilliant or obscure than man nothing is more formidable, complex, mysterious, and infinite. There is a prospect greater than the sea, and it is the sky there is a prospect greater than the sky, and it is the human soul.
Victor Hugo
Image
In saying no to progress, it is not the future which they condemn, but themselves. They give themselves a melancholy disease they inoculate themselves with the past. There is but one way of refusing tomorrow, that is to die.
Victor Hugo
Image
I didn't believe it could be so monstrous. It's wrong to be so absorbed in divine law as not to perceive human law. Death belongs to God alone. By what right do men tough that unknown thing?
Victor Hugo
Image
We are not loved by our friends for what we are rather, we are loved in spite of what we are.
Victor Hugo

Stupidity talks, vanity acts.
