More quotes by Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
To rise from error to truth is rare and beautiful.
Victor Hugo
Go out in the world and work like money doesn't matter, sing as if no one is listening, love as if you have never been hurt, and dance as if no one is watching.
Victor Hugo
A faith is a necessity to a man. Woe to him who believes in nothing.

Victor Hugo
One only needs to see a smile in a white crape bonnet in order to enter the palace of dreams.
Victor Hugo
Primitive times are lyrical, ancient times epical, modern times dramatic. The ode sings of eternity, the epic imparts solemnity tohistory, the drama depicts life. The characteristic of the first poetry is ingeniousness, of the second, simplicity, of the third, truth.
Victor Hugo
One resists the invasion of armies one does not resist the invasion of ideas.
Victor Hugo
The future has several names. For the weak, it is impossible for the fainthearted, it is unknown but for the valiant, it is ideal.
Victor Hugo
Women play with their beauty as children do with their knives. They wound themselves with it.
Victor Hugo
