Image
Blessed be Providence which has given to each his toy: the doll to the child, the child to the woman, the woman to the man, the man to the devil!
Victor Hugo
Image
God in his harmony has equal ends For cedar that resists and reed that bends For good it is a woman sometimes rules, Holds in her hand the power, and manners, schools, And laws, and mind succeeding master proud, With gentle voice and smiles she leads the crowd, The somber human troop.
Victor Hugo

We are for religion against the religions.
Victor Hugo
Image

Victor Hugo
Image
He is the best gentleman that is the son of his own deserts, and not the degenerated heir of another's virtue.
Victor Hugo
Image
We say and exclaim within ourselves without breaking silence, in a tumult where everything speaks except our mouths. The realities of the soul are none the less real for being invisible and impalpable.
Victor Hugo
Image
Mankind is not a circle with a single center but an ellipse with two focal points of which facts are one and ideas the other.
Victor Hugo
Image
A saint addicted to excessive self-abnegation is a dangerous associate he may infect you with poverty, and a stiffening of those joints which are needed for advancement-in a word, with more renunciation than you care for-and so you flee the contagion.
Victor Hugo
Image
To divinise is human, to humanise is divine.
Victor Hugo
Image
Freedom in art, freedom in society, this is the double goal towards which all consistent and logical minds must strive.
Victor Hugo
Image
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
Image
For sight is woman-like and shuns the old.
Victor Hugo
Image
If we must suffer, let us suffer nobly.
Victor Hugo
Image
To live a life which is a perpetual falsehood is to suffer unknown tortures.
Victor Hugo
Image
To meditate is to labour to think is to act.
Victor Hugo

If you don't build castles in the air you won't build anything on the ground.
