Philosophy is the microscope of thought. Everything desires to flee from it, but nothing escapes it.
Victor Hugo
Image
When a woman is talking to you, listen to what she says with her eyes.
Victor Hugo
Image
Excitement is not enjoyment: in calmness lies true pleasure. The most precious wines are sipped, not bolted at a swallow.
Victor Hugo
Image
God made only water, but man made wine.
Victor Hugo
Image
. . .where there is no more hope, song remains.
Victor Hugo
Image
What happened between those two beings? Nothing. They were adoring one another.
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
Despots play their part in the works of thinkers. Fettered words are terrible words. The writer doubles and trebles the power of his writing when a ruler imposes silence on the people. Something emerges from that enforced silence, a mysterious fullness which filters through and becomes steely in the thought.
Victor Hugo
Image
And if it happened to be a Christmas-night when the great bell seemed to rattle in its throat as it called the faithful to the midnight mass, there was such an indescribable air of life spread over the sombre facade that the great door-way looked as if it were swallowing the entire crowd, and the rose-window staring at them.
Victor Hugo
Image
Gavroche had fallen only to rise again he sat up, a long stream of blood rolled down his face, he raised both arms in air, looked in the direction whence the shot came, and began to sing.
Victor Hugo
Image
Music is the vapor of art. It is to poetry what reverie is to thought, what fluid is to solid, what the ocean of clouds is to the ocean of waves.
Victor Hugo
Image
We are reassured almost as foolishly as we are alarmed human nature is so constituted.
Victor Hugo
Image
Monastic incarceration is castration.
Victor Hugo
Image
Crime is redeemed by remorse, but not by a blow of the axe or slipknot. Blood has to be washed by tears but not by blood.
Victor Hugo
Image
To meditate is to labour to think is to act.
Victor Hugo
Image
The guilty one is not he who commits the sin, but he who causes the darkness.
Victor Hugo
Image
It is man's consolation that the future is to be a sunrise instead of a sunset.
Victor Hugo
Image
She had had sweet dreams, which possibly arose from the fact that her little bed was very white.
Victor Hugo
Image
Progress is the life-style of man.
Victor Hugo
Image
Work, which makes a man free, and thought, which makes him worthy of freedom.
Victor Hugo
