Victor Hugo
Image
The convent, which belongs to the West as it does to the East, to antiquity as it does to the present time, to Buddhism and Muhammadanism as it does to Christianity, is one of the optical devices whereby man gains a glimpse of infinity.
Victor Hugo
Image
The world is the expanding Greece and Greece is the shrinking world.
Victor Hugo
Image
What says the law? You will not kill. How does it say it? By killing!
Victor Hugo
Image
A few feet under the ground reigns so profound a silence, and yet so much tumult on the surface!
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
Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent.
Victor Hugo
Image
What is history? An echo of the past in the future a reflex from the future on the past.
