More quotes by Victor Hugo
How did it happen that their lips came together? How does it happen that birds sing, that snow melts, that the rose unfolds, that the dawn whitens behind the stark shapes of trees on the quivering summit of the hill? A kiss, and all was said.
Victor Hugo
If she gives me all her time it is because I have all her heart.
Victor Hugo
A criminal remains a criminal whether he uses a convict's suit or a monarch's crown.
Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
Press on! A better fate awaits thee.
Victor Hugo
You preserve your shame but you kill your glory.

Victor Hugo
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

Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
Wisdom is a sacred communion.
Victor Hugo
Have no fear of robbers or murderers. They are external dangers, petty dangers. We should fear ourselves. Prejudices are the real robbers vices the real murderers. The great dangers are within us. Why worry about what threatens our heads or our purses? Let us think instead of what threatens our souls.
Victor Hugo
One sometimes says: 'He killed himself because he was bored with life.' One ought rather to say: 'He killed himself because he was bored by lack of life.'
Victor Hugo
I'd rather be hissed at for a good verse, than applauded for a bad one.
Victor Hugo
Almost all our desires, when examined, contain something too shameful to reveal.
Victor Hugo
