Image
His whole life was now summed up in two words: absolute uncertainty within an impenetrable fog.
Victor Hugo
Image

Image
There is something more terrible than a hell of suffering--a hell of boredom.
Victor Hugo
Image
In saying no to progress, it is not the future which they condemn, but themselves. They give themselves a melancholy disease they inoculate themselves with the past. There is but one way of refusing tomorrow, that is to die.
Victor Hugo
Image

Victor Hugo
Image
It is most pleasant to commit a just action which is disagreeable to someone whom one does not like.
Victor Hugo
Image
She was sad with an obscure sadness of which she had not the secret herself. There was in her whole person the stupor of a life ended but never commenced.
Victor Hugo
Image
I am in the night. There is a being who has gone away and carried the heavens with her. Oh! to be laid side by side in the same tomb, hand clasped in hand, and from time to time, in the darkness, to caress a finger gently, that would suffice for my eternity.
Victor Hugo
Image
There is suffering in the light in excess it burns. Flame is hostile to the wing. To burn and yet to fly, this is the miracle of genius.
Victor Hugo
Image
To meditate is to labour to think is to act.
Victor Hugo
