Change your opinions, keep to your principles change your leaves, keep intact your roots.
Victor Hugo
Image
What dangers you run, O noble souls! Often, you give your heart, but we take only your body. Your heart is left to you and you look at it in the shadows and shudder.
Victor Hugo
Image
There is but one way of refusing To-morrow, that is to die.
Victor Hugo
Image
Great blunders are often made, like large ropes, of a multitude of fibers. Take the cable thread by thread, take separately all the little determining motives, you break them one after another, and you say: that is all! Wind them and twist them together, they become an enormity.

Victor Hugo
Image

Victor Hugo
Image
These two beings, who had loved each other so exclusively, and with so touching a love, and who had lived so long for each other, were now suffering beside one another and through one another without speaking of it, without harsh feeling, and smiling all the while.
Victor Hugo
Image
What is said about men often has as much influence upon their lives, and especially upon their destinies, as what they do.
Victor Hugo
Image
Love partakes of the soul itself. it is of the same nature. like it, it is a divine spark, like it, it is incorruptible, indivisible, imperishable, it is the point of fire which is within us, which is immortal and infinite, which nothing can limit and nothing can extinguish.
Victor Hugo
Image
Every good quality runs into a defect economy borders on avarice, the generous are not far from the prodigal, the brave man is close to the bully he who is very pious is slightly sanctimonious there are just as many vices to virtue as there are holes in the mantle of Diogenes.
Victor Hugo
Image
These are dark radiances. They have no suspicion that they are to be pitied. Certainly they are so. He who does not weep does not see. They are to be admired and pitied, as one would both pity and admire a being at once night and day, without eyes beneath his lashes but with a star on his brow.
