More quotes by Victor Hugo

Image
Science is continually correcting what it has said. Fertile corrections... science is a ladder... poetry is a winged flight... An artistic masterpiece exists for all time... Dante does not efface Homer.
Victor Hugo
Image
To love is the half of to believe.
Victor Hugo
Image
Let us fear the worst, but work with faith the best will always take care of itself.

Victor Hugo
Image
Love is like a tree: it grows by itself, roots itself deeply in our being and continues to flourish over a heart in ruin. The inexplicable fact is that the blinder it is, the more tenacious it is. It is never stronger than when it is completely unreasonable.
Victor Hugo
Image
The earth is a great piece of stupidity.
Victor Hugo
Image

Victor Hugo
Image
Wherever the Turkish hoof trods, no grass grows.
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
It is often our best friends who throw us down.
Victor Hugo
Image
Mankind is not a circle with a single center but an ellipse with two focal points of which facts are one and ideas the other.
