Labor is life thought is light.
Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
Animals are happy, said the queen. They run no risk of going to hell. They are there already, replied Josiana.

Victor Hugo
The power of a glance has been so much abused in love stories, that it has come to be disbelieved in. Few people dare now to say that two beings have fallen in love because they have looked at each other. Yet it is in this way that love begins, and in this way only.
Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
One resists the invasion of armies one does not resist the invasion of ideas.
Victor Hugo
Vengeance comes from the individual and punishment from God.
Victor Hugo
Take all reasonable advantage of that which the present may offer you. It is the only time which is ours. Yesterday is buried forever, and to-morrow we may never see.
Victor Hugo
Revolution is the larva of civilization.
Victor Hugo
To commit the least possible sin is the law for man. To live without sin is the dream of an angel. Everything terrestrial is subject to sin. Sin is a gravitation.
Victor Hugo
All the human and animal manure which the world wastes, if returned to the land, instead of being thrown into the sea, would suffice to nourish the world.
Victor Hugo
Every man is a book in which God himself writes.
Victor Hugo
A man trying to escape never thinks himself sufficiently concealed.
Victor Hugo
Religion, Society, and Nature--these are the three struggles of man.
Victor Hugo
These are true felicities. No joy beyond these joys. Love is the only ecstasy, everything else weeps
Victor Hugo
To put everything in balance is good, to put everything in harmony is better.
Victor Hugo
