More quotes by Victor Hugo
The hand which moves over the dial moves also among souls.
Victor Hugo
O darkness, the sky is a gloomy precinct Whose door you close, and whose key the soul owns And night divides itself in half, being diabolical and holy, Between Ilis, the black angel, and Christ, the starry Human Being.
Victor Hugo
If people did not love one another, I really don't see what use there would be in having any spring.
Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
Our life dreams the Utopia. Our death achieves the Ideal.
Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
Every man is a book in which God himself writes.
Victor Hugo

Something emerges from that enforced silence, a mysterious fullness which filters through and becomes steely in the thought.
Victor Hugo
It was SHE. Whoever has loved knows all the radiant meaning contained in the three letters of this word ‘she.
Victor Hugo
I'm not in the world to guard my own life, but to guard souls
Victor Hugo
The English took the eagle and Austrians the eaglet. [Fr., L'Angleterre prit l'aigle, et l'Autriche l'aiglon.]
