More quotes by Victor Hugo
Curiosity is gluttony. To see is to devour.
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.
Victor Hugo
When you get an idea into your head you find it in everything.
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
I only take a half share in the civil war I am willing to die, I am not willing to kill.
Victor Hugo
Symmetry is ennui, and ennui is the very essence of grief and melancholy. Despair yawns.
Victor Hugo
The poor man shuddered, overflowed with an angelic joy he declared in his transport that this would last through life he said to himself that he really had not suffered enough to deserve such radiant happiness, and he thanked God, in the depths of his soul, for having permitted that he, a miserable man, should be so loved by this innocent being.
Victor Hugo
As a means of contrast with the sublime, the grotesque is, in our view, the richest source that nature can offer.
Victor Hugo
The clouds, - the only birds that never sleep.
Victor Hugo
Revery, which is thought in its nebulous state, borders closely upon the land of sleep, by which it is bounded as by a natural frontier.
Victor Hugo
Diamonds are found only in the dark places of the earth, truths are found only in the depths of thought.
Victor Hugo
Those who live are those who fight.
Victor Hugo
Wherever the Turkish hoof trods, no grass grows.
Victor Hugo
Music is the vapor of art. It is to poetry what reverie is to thought, what fluid is to solid, what the ocean of clouds is to the ocean of waves.
Victor Hugo
He who contemplates the depths of Paris is seized with vertigo. Nothing is more fantastic. Nothing is more tragic. Nothing is more sublime.
Victor Hugo
Curiosity is one of the forms of feminine bravery.
Victor Hugo
France is great because she is France.
Victor Hugo
Every bird which flies has the thread of the infinite in its claw. Germination includes the hatching of a meteor and the tap of a swallow's bill breaking the egg, and it leads forward the birth of an earth-worm and the advent of Socrates.
Victor Hugo
Philosophy is the microscope of thought. Everything desires to flee from it, but nothing escapes it.
Victor Hugo
She loved with so much passion as she loved with ignorance. She did not know whether it were good or evil, beneficent or dangerous, necessary or accidental, eternal or transitory, permitted or prohibited: she loved.
Victor Hugo
