More quotes by Victor Hugo
For there are many great deeds done in the small struggles of life.
Victor Hugo
Paris is a sum total. Paris is the ceiling of the human race. All this prodigious city is an epitome of dead and living manners and customs. He who sees Paris, seems to see all history through with the sky and constellations in the intervals.
Victor Hugo
The ox suffers, the cart complains.
Victor Hugo
One can no more keep the mind from returning to an idea than the sea from returning to a shore. For a sailor, this is called the tide in the case of the guilty it is called remorse. God stirs up the soul as well as the ocean.
Victor Hugo
Morality is truth in full bloom.
Victor Hugo
Change your opinions, keep to your principles change your leaves, keep intact your roots.
Victor Hugo
As the purse is emptied, the heart is filled.
Victor Hugo
Good actions are the invisible hinges on the doors of heaven.
Victor Hugo
I'd rather be hissed at for a good verse, than applauded for a bad one.
Victor Hugo
He who is not master of his own thoughts is not accountable for his own deeds.
Victor Hugo
The peculiarity of sunrise is to make us laugh at all our terrors of the night, and our laugh is always proportioned to the fear we have had.
Victor Hugo
Should we continue to look upwards? Is the light we can see in the sky one of those which will presently be extinguished? The ideal is terrifying to behold... brilliant but threatened on all sides by the dark forces that surround it: nevertheless, no more in danger than a star in the jaws of the clouds.
Victor Hugo
In the animal world no creature born to be a dove turns into a scavenger. This happens only among men.
Victor Hugo
Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise.
Victor Hugo
When the heart is dry the eye is dry.
Victor Hugo
Our mind is enriched by what we receive, our heart by what we give.
Victor Hugo
It is often necessary to know how to obey a woman in order sometimes to have the right to command her.
Victor Hugo
The earth is a great piece of stupidity.
Victor Hugo
A day will come when all nations on our continent will form a European brotherhood... A day will come when we shall see... the United States of America and the United States of Europe face to face, reaching out for each other across the seas.
Victor Hugo
I believe, sir, in all the progress. Air navigation is the result of the oceanic navigation: from water the human has to pass in the air. Everywhere where creation will be breathable to him, the human will penetrate into the creation. Our only limit is life.
