More quotes by Victor Hugo
Common sense is in spite of, not as the result of education.
Victor Hugo
What is the cat? he exclaimed. It is a corrective. God, having made the mouse, said, 'I've made a blunder.' And he made the cat. The cat is the erratum of the mouse. The mouse, plus the cat, Is the revised and corrected proof of creation.
Victor Hugo
The English took the eagle and Austrians the eaglet. [Fr., L'Angleterre prit l'aigle, et l'Autriche l'aiglon.]
Victor Hugo
Without vanity, without coquetry, without curiosity, in a word, without the fall, woman would not be woman. Much of her grace is in her frailty.
Victor Hugo
For dogs we kings should have lions, and for cats, tigers. The great benefits a crown.
Victor Hugo
My greatness does not extend to this shelf.
Victor Hugo
What is said about men often has as much influence upon their lives, and especially upon their destinies, as what they do.
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.

Victor Hugo
Philosophy is the microscope of thought.
Victor Hugo
God was bored by him.
Victor Hugo
The spirit of God, like the sun, always gives all its light at once. The spirit of man resembles the pale moon, which has its phases, its absences and its returns, its lucidity and its spots, its fullness and its disappearance, which borrows all its light from the rays of the sun, and which still dares to intercept them on occasion.
Victor Hugo
To love is the half of to believe.
Victor Hugo
There are moments when a rope's end, a pole, the branch of the tree, is life itself, and it is a frightful thing to see a living being lose his hold upon it, and fall like a ripe fruit.
Victor Hugo
Sometimes he used a spade in his garden, and sometimes he read and wrote. He had but one name for these two kinds of labor he called them gardening. ‘The Spirit is a garden,’ said he
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
To learn to read is to light a fire every syllable that is spelled out is a spark.
Victor Hugo
A day will come when all nations on our continent will form a European brotherhood... A day will come when we shall see... the United States of America and the United States of Europe face to face, reaching out for each other across the seas.
Victor Hugo
There is no such thing as a little country. The greatness of a people is no more determined by their numbers than the greatness of a man is by his height.
Victor Hugo
If you wish to understand what Revolution is, call it Progress and if you wish to understand what Progress is, call it Tomorrow.
Victor Hugo
Memory is a gulf that a word can move to its lowest depths.
Victor Hugo
