More quotes by Victor Hugo
One of the hardest labours of the just man is to expunge from his soul a malevolence which it is difficult to efface.
Victor Hugo
Man lives more by affirmation than by bread.
Victor Hugo
There are no trifles in the human story, no trifling leaves on the tree.
Victor Hugo
She worked in order to live, and presently fell in love, also in order to live, for the heart, too, has its hunger.
Victor Hugo
He left her. She was dissatisfied with him. He had preferred to incur her anger rather than cause her pain. He had kept all the pain for himself.
Victor Hugo
Initiative is doing the right thing without being told.
Victor Hugo
Work is the law of life, and to reject it as boredom is to submit to it as torment.
Victor Hugo
When I speak to you about myself, I am speaking to you about yourself. How is it you don't see that?
Victor Hugo
Wherever the Turkish hoof trods, no grass grows.
Victor Hugo
He loved books books are cold but safe friends.
Victor Hugo
Each of our passions, even love, has a stomach that must not be overloaded. We must in everything write the word 'finis' in time we must restrain ourselves, when it becomes urgent we must draw the bolt on the appetite, play a fantasia on the violin, then break the strings with our own hand. The Wise man is he who knows when and how to stop.
Victor Hugo
No doubt it was necessary to civilize man in relation to man. That work is already advanced and is making progress every day. But man must be civilized also in relation to nature.
Victor Hugo
Do you hear the people sing Lost in the valley of the night? It is the music of a people Who are climbing to the light. For the wretched of the earth There is a flame that never dies. Even the darkest night will end And the sun will rise.
Victor Hugo
Is it not a thing divine to have a smile which, none know how, has the power to lighten the weight of that enormous chain which all the living in common drag behind them?
Victor Hugo
The aim of art is almost divine: to bring to life again if it is writing history, to create if it is writing poetry.
Victor Hugo
God will bless you,' said he, 'you are an angel since you take care of the flowers.' 'No,' she replied. 'I am the devil, but that's all the same to me.
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
Nothing awakens reminiscence like an aroma.
Victor Hugo
Should we continue to look upwards? Is the light we can see in the sky one of those which will presently be extinguished? The ideal is terrifying to behold... brilliant but threatened on all sides by the dark forces that surround it: nevertheless, no more in danger than a star in the jaws of the clouds.
Victor Hugo
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
