Image
Cheerfulness is like money well expended in charity the more we dispense of it, the greater our possession.
Victor Hugo
Image
Teach the ignorant as much as you can society is culpable in not providing a free education for all and it must answer for the night which it produces. If the soul is left in darkness sins will be committed. The guilty one is not he who commits the sin, but he who causes the darkness.
Victor Hugo
Image
Go out in the world and work like money doesn't matter, sing as if no one is listening, love as if you have never been hurt, and dance as if no one is watching.
Victor Hugo
Image
It seems as though, at the approach of a certain dark hour, the light of heaven infills those who are leaving the light of earth.
Victor Hugo
Image
He who contemplates the depths of Paris is seized with vertigo. Nothing is more fantastic. Nothing is more tragic. Nothing is more sublime.
Victor Hugo
Image
My misfortune is that I still resemble a man too much. I should liked to be wholly a beast like that goat. - Quasimodo
Victor Hugo
Image
There is suffering in the light in excess it burns. Flame is hostile to the wing. To burn and yet to fly, this is the miracle of genius.
Victor Hugo
Image
Love resembles a tree: it bends under its own weight, deeply rooted in our being and sometimes turns green in the ruins of a heart.
Victor Hugo
Image
God put in man thought society, action nature, revery.
Victor Hugo
Image
And the dream that our mind had sketched in haste Shall others continue, but never complete. For none upon earth can achieve his scheme The best as the worst are futile here: We wake at the self-same point of the dream, All is here begun, and finished elsewhere.
Victor Hugo
Image
A joyous little creature, so beautiful, It was as if a gate of Heaven opened as she came in.
Victor Hugo
Image
Stupidity talks, vanity acts.
Victor Hugo
Image
Now life has killed the dream I dreamed.
Victor Hugo
Image
What happened between those two beings? Nothing. They were adoring one another.
Victor Hugo
Image
Let us fear ourselves. Prejudices are the real robbers vices are the real murderers. The great dangers lie within ourselves.
Victor Hugo
Image
It is grievous for a man to leave behind him a shadow in his own shape.
Victor Hugo
Image
Let us study things that are no more. It is necessary to understand them, if only to avoid them.
Victor Hugo
Image
We must never fear robbers or murderers. They are dangers from outside, small dangers. It is ourselves we have to fear. Prejudice is the real robber, vice the real murderer. Why should we be troubled by a threat to our person or our pocket? What we have to beware of is the threat to our souls'.
Victor Hugo
Image
The reduction of the universe to the compass of a single being, and the extension of a single being until it reaches God - that is love. Love is the salute of the angels to the stars. How sad is the heart when rendered sad by love! How great is the void created by the absence of the being who alone fills the world.
Victor Hugo
Image
He sought...to transform the grief which looks down into the grave by showing it the grief which looks up to the stars.
