A compliment is something like a kiss through a veil.
Victor Hugo
Image
Every day has its great grief or its small anxiety. ... One cloud is dispelled, another forms. There is hardly one day in a hundred of real joy and bright sunshine.
Victor Hugo
Image
I put a Phrygian cap on the old dictionary.
Victor Hugo
Image
Nothing makes a man so adventurous as an empty pocket.
Victor Hugo
Image
The paradise of the rich is made out of the hell of the poor.
Victor Hugo
Image
Being good is easy, what is difficult is being just.
Victor Hugo
Image
The day that a woman who is passing before you sheds a light upon you as she goes, you are lost, you love. You have then but one thing to do: to think of her so earnestly that she will be compelled to think of you.
Victor Hugo
Image
One resists the invasion of armies one does not resist the invasion of ideas.

Women are more credulous than men.
Victor Hugo
Image
Marius and Cosette did not ask where this would lead them. They looked at themselves as arrived. It is a strange pretension for men to ask that love should lead them somewhere.
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
The straight line, a respectable optical illusion which ruins many a man.
Victor Hugo
Image
One is not idle because one is absorbed. There is both visible and invisible labor. To contemplate is to toil, to think is to do. The crossed arms work, the clasped hands act. The eyes upturned to Heaven are an act of creation.
Victor Hugo
Image
This book should be read as one would read the book of a dead man.
Victor Hugo
Image
Because a fact seems strange to you, you conclude that it is not one. ... All science, however, commences by being strange. Science is successive. It goes from one wonder to another. It mounts by a ladder. The science of to-day would seem extravagant to the science of a former time. Ptolemy would believe Newton mad.
Victor Hugo
Image
Blessed be Providence which has given to each his toy: the doll to the child, the child to the woman, the woman to the man, the man to the devil!
Victor Hugo
Image
To rove about, musing, that is to say loitering, is, for a philosopher, a good way of spending time.
Victor Hugo
Image
I like the laughter that opens the lips and the heart, shows at the same time the pearls and the soul.
Victor Hugo
Image
When we are at the end of life, to die means to go away when we are at the beginning, to go away means to die.
Victor Hugo
Image
Never laugh at those who suffer suffer sometimes those who laugh.
Victor Hugo
