Quote

I should hope so, Laigle replied, for my coat and I live comfortably together. It has assumed all my wrinkles, does not hurt me anywhere, has moulded itself on my deformities, and is complacent to all my movements, and 1 only feel its presence because it keeps me warm.

True thinkers are characterized by a blending of clearness and mystery.
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
Wisdom and eloquence are not always united.
Victor Hugo
Image
Die, very good, but do not make others die. Suicides like the one which is about to take place here are sublime, but suicide is restricted, and does not allow of extension and so soon as it affects your neighbors, suicide becomes murder.
Victor Hugo
Image
A faith is a necessity to a man. Woe to him who believes in nothing.
Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
Image
It is grievous for a man to leave behind him a shadow in his own shape.
Victor Hugo
Image
One is not idle because one is absorbed. There is both visible and invisible labor. To contemplate is to toil, to think is to do. The crossed arms work, the clasped hands act. The eyes upturned to Heaven are an act of creation.
Victor Hugo
Image
There is a material advancement we desire it. There is, also, a moral grandeur we hold fast to it.
Victor Hugo

Enthusiasm is the fever of reason.
Victor Hugo
Image
Style is the substance of the subject called unceasingly to the surface.

Image
It is not enough to be happy, one must be content.
Victor Hugo
Image
If you look in the eyes of the young, you see flame. If you look in the eyes of the old, you see light.
Victor Hugo
Image
All who suffer are full of hatred all who live drag a remorse: the dead alone have broken their chains.
Victor Hugo
Image
Is it not when the fall is the lowest that charity ought to be the greatest?
Victor Hugo
Image
Fashions have done more harm than revolutions.
Victor Hugo
Image
Have but luck, and you will have the rest be fortunate, and you will be thought great.
