More quotes by Victor Hugo

Image
These are dark radiances. They have no suspicion that they are to be pitied. Certainly they are so. He who does not weep does not see. They are to be admired and pitied, as one would both pity and admire a being at once night and day, without eyes beneath his lashes but with a star on his brow.

Should we continue to look upwards? Is the light we can see in the sky one of those which will presently be extinguished?

The smaller it is the heart, more hatred houses.
Victor Hugo
Image
He had slipped, climbed, rolled, searched, walked, persevered, that is all. Such is the secret of all triumphs.
Victor Hugo

Don't educate your children to be rich. Educate them to be happy, so they know the value of things, not the price.
Victor Hugo
Image
All roads are blocked to a philosophy which reduces everything to the word no. To no there is only one answer and that is yes. Nihilism has no substance. There is no such thing as nothingness, and zero does not exist. Everything is something. Nothing is nothing. Man lives more by affirmation than by bread.
Victor Hugo

For prying into any human affairs, non are equal to those whom it does not concern.
