More quotes by Victor Hugo
You have enemies? Why, it is the story of every man who has done a great deed or created a new idea.
Victor Hugo
Often the losing of a battle leads to the winning of progress. Less glory but greater liberty: the drum is silent and the voices of reason can be heard.
Victor Hugo
To sum up all, let it be known that science and religion are two identical words. The learned do not suspect this, no more do the religious. These two words express the two sides of the same fact, which is the infinite. Religion-Science, this is the future of the human mind.
Victor Hugo
Man's greatest actions are performed in minor struggles. Life, misfortune, isolation, abandonment and poverty are battlefields which have their heroes - obscure heroes who are at times greater than illustrious heroes.
Victor Hugo
All the forces in the world are not so powerful as an idea whose time has come.
Victor Hugo
If the infinite had no me, then me would be its limit. It would not be the infinite, therefore it would not be.
Victor Hugo
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
To err is human. To loaf is Parisian.
Victor Hugo
The great acts of love are done by those who are habitually performing small acts of kindness.
Victor Hugo
A creditor is worse than a slave-owner for the master owns only your person, but a creditor owns your dignity, and can command it.
Victor Hugo
The animal is ignorant of the fact that he knows. The man is aware of the fact that he is ignorant.
Victor Hugo
Yes, instruction! Light! Light! Everything comes from light, and to everything it returns.
Victor Hugo
God secludes Himself but the thinker listens at the door.
Victor Hugo
A stout heart may be ruined in fortune but not in spirit.
Victor Hugo
Thought is the work of the intellect, reverie is its self-indulgence. To substitute day-dreaming for thought is to confuse a poison with a source of nourishment.
Victor Hugo
Freedom in art, freedom in society, this is the double goal towards which all consistent and logical minds must strive.
Victor Hugo
Civilization survives on the constant discovery of amity and an equal supply of damnation.
Victor Hugo
A doctor’s door should never be closed, a priest's door should always be open.
Victor Hugo
Be as a bird perched on a frail branch that she feels bending beneath her, still she sings away all the same, knowing she has wings.
Victor Hugo
Women play with their beauty as children do with their knives. They wound themselves with it.
Victor Hugo
