Victor Hugo
Let us leave to the brain what belongs to it, and agree that the work of the men of genius is of the superhuman, the offspring of man.
Victor Hugo
There is no more sovereign eloquence than the truth in indignation.
Victor Hugo
Algebra applies to the clouds.
Victor Hugo
France is great because she is France.
Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo

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
One sometimes says: 'He killed himself because he was bored with life.' One ought rather to say: 'He killed himself because he was bored by lack of life.'
Victor Hugo
Try as you will, you cannot annihilate that eternal relic of the human heart, love.
Victor Hugo
Ideas can no more flow backward than can a river.
Victor Hugo
