More quotes by Victor Hugo
Work is the law of life, and to reject it as boredom is to submit to it as torment.
Victor Hugo
She was sad with an obscure sadness of which she had not the secret herself. There was in her whole person the stupor of a life ended but never commenced.
Victor Hugo
I would rather be the head of a fly than the tail of a lion.
Victor Hugo
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
God whose gifts in gracious flood Unto all who seek are sent, Only asks you to be good And is content.
Victor Hugo
In my old age there is a coming into flower. My body wanes my mind waxes.
Victor Hugo
It is not enough to be happy, one must be content.
Victor Hugo
Women are more credulous than men.
Victor Hugo
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
To put everything in balance is good, to put everything in harmony is better.
Victor Hugo
We are for religion against the religions.
Victor Hugo
Try as you will, you cannot annihilate that eternal relic of the human heart, love.
Victor Hugo
Adversity makes men, and prosperity makes monsters.
Victor Hugo
If you are leaving that sorrowful place with hate and anger against men, you are worthy of compassion if you leave it with good will, gentleness and peace, you are better than any of us.
Victor Hugo
The convent is supreme egotism resulting in supreme self-denial.
Victor Hugo
Wherever the Turkish hoof trods, no grass grows.
Victor Hugo
Hell is an outrage on humanity. When you tell me that your deity made you in his image, I reply that he must have been very ugly.
Victor Hugo
Winter is on my head, but eternal spring is in my heart I breathe at this hour the fragrance of the lilacs, the violets, and the roses, as at twenty years ago.
Victor Hugo
Primitive times are lyrical, ancient times epical, modern times dramatic. The ode sings of eternity, the epic imparts solemnity tohistory, the drama depicts life. The characteristic of the first poetry is ingeniousness, of the second, simplicity, of the third, truth.
Victor Hugo
Slaves would be tyrants were the chance theirs.
Victor Hugo
