Victor Hugo
Image

Victor Hugo
Image
God has set his intentions in the flowers, in the dawn, in the spring, it is his will that we should love.
Victor Hugo

...We pray together, we are afraid together, and then we go to sleep. Even if Satan came into the house, no one would interfere. After all, what is there to fear in this house? There is always one with us who is the strongest. Satan may visit our house, but the good Lord lives here.

Victor Hugo
Image
So long as ignorance and poverty exist on earth, books of the nature of Les Miserables cannot fail to be of use.
Victor Hugo
Image
All the forces in the world are not so powerful as an idea whose time has come.
Victor Hugo
Image
We are not loved by our friends for what we are rather, we are loved in spite of what we are.
Victor Hugo
Image
History has its truth and so has legend hers.
Victor Hugo
Image
The ode lives upon the ideal, the epic upon the grandiose, the drama upon the real.
Victor Hugo
Image
I am not in the world to care for my life, but for souls.
Victor Hugo
Image
Those who do not weep, do not see.
Victor Hugo
Image
Nothing is more true, more real, than the primeval magnetic disturbances that two souls may communicate to one another, through the tiny sparks of a moment's glance.
