Image
There is no vacuum in the human heart. Certain demolitions take place, and it is well that they do, but on condition that they are followed by reconstructions.
Victor Hugo
Image
We teachers make the road, others will make the journey.
Victor Hugo
Image
She worked in order to live, and presently fell in love, also in order to live, for the heart, too, has its hunger.
Victor Hugo
Image
Despots play their part in the works of thinkers. Fettered words are terrible words. The writer doubles and trebles the power of his writing when a ruler imposes silence on the people. Something emerges from that enforced silence, a mysterious fullness which filters through and becomes steely in the thought.
Victor Hugo
Image
Need is a low door which, when we must by stern necessity pass through, forces the greatest to bend down the most.
Victor Hugo
Image
Music is the vapor of art. It is to poetry what reverie is to thought, what fluid is to solid, what the ocean of clouds is to the ocean of waves.
Victor Hugo
Image
If God had intended that man should go backward, he would have given him eyes in the back of his head.
Victor Hugo
Image
A tempest ceases, a cyclone passes over, a wind dies down, a broken mast can be replaced, a leak can be stopped, a fire extinguished, but what will become of this enormous brute of bronze?
Victor Hugo
Image
France lost a great novel last night.
Victor Hugo
Image
The persistence of an all-absorbing idea is terrible.
Victor Hugo
Image
Every bird which flies has the thread of the infinite in its claw. Germination includes the hatching of a meteor and the tap of a swallow's bill breaking the egg, and it leads forward the birth of an earth-worm and the advent of Socrates.
Victor Hugo
Image
I see black light (his last words)
Victor Hugo
Image
A few feet under the ground reigns so profound a silence, and yet so much tumult on the surface!
Victor Hugo
Image
You have enemies? Why, it is the story of every man who has done a great deed or created a new idea. It is the cloud which thunders around everything that shines. Fame must have enemies, as light must have gnats. Do no bother yourself about it disdain. Keep your mind serene as you keep your life clear.
Victor Hugo
Image
Nothing awakens reminiscence like an aroma.
Victor Hugo
Image
One sees qualities at a distance and defects at close range.
Victor Hugo
Image
One resists the invasion of armies one does not resist the invasion of ideas.
Victor Hugo
Image
The smaller it is the heart, more hatred houses.
Victor Hugo
Image
Emotion is always new.
Victor Hugo
Image
There are fathers who do not love their children there is no grandfather who does not adore his grandson.
