The hand which moves over the dial moves also among souls.
Victor Hugo
Image
In this world, which is so plainly the antechamber of another, there are no happy men. The true division of humanity is between those who live in light and those who live in darkness. Our aim must be to diminish the number of the latter and increase the number of the former. That is why we demand education and knowledge.
Victor Hugo
Image
He had slipped, climbed, rolled, searched, walked, persevered, that is all. Such is the secret of all triumphs.
Victor Hugo
Image
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
There is one spectacle grander than the sea, that is the sky there is one spectacle grander than the sky, that is the interior of the soul.
Victor Hugo
Image
For true poetry, complete poetry, consists in the harmony of contraries. Hence, it is time to say aloud--and it is here above allthat exceptions prove the rule--that everything that exists in nature exists in art.
Victor Hugo
Image
We say and exclaim within ourselves without breaking silence, in a tumult where everything speaks except our mouths. The realities of the soul are none the less real for being invisible and impalpable.
Victor Hugo

He who despairs is wrong.
Victor Hugo
Image
Love is like a tree: it grows by itself, roots itself deeply in our being and continues to flourish over a heart in ruin. The inexplicable fact is that the blinder it is, the more tenacious it is. It is never stronger than when it is completely unreasonable.
Victor Hugo
Image
Many great actions are committed in small struggles.
Victor Hugo
Image
The miserable's name is Man he is agonizing in all climes, and he is groaning in all languages.
Victor Hugo
Image
Men become accustomed to poison by degrees.
Victor Hugo
Image
The future has many names: For the weak, it means the unattainable. For the fearful, it means the unknown. For the courageous, it means opportunity.
Victor Hugo
Image
Our mind is enriched by what we receive, our heart by what we give.
Victor Hugo
Image
That men saw his mask, but the bishop saw his face. That men saw his life, but the bishop saw his conscience.
Victor Hugo
Image
As with stomachs, we should pity minds that do not eat.
Victor Hugo

Change your opinions, keep to your principles change your leaves, keep intact your roots.
