More quotes by Victor Hugo

Image
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

If suffer we must, let's suffer on the heights.
Victor Hugo

Revolutions are not born of chance but of necessity.
Victor Hugo
Image
You say, Where goest Thou? I cannot tell, And still go on. But if the way be straight I cannot go amiss: before me lies Dawn and the day: the night behind me: that Suffices me: I break the bounds: I see, And nothing more believe and nothing less. My future is not one of my concerns.
Victor Hugo
Image

Victor Hugo
Image
A house is built of logs and stone, of tiles and posts and piers a home is built of loving deeds that stand a thousand years.
Victor Hugo
Image
What is called honors and dignities, and even honor and dignity, is generally fool's gold.
Victor Hugo
Image
I wanted to see you again, touch you, know who you were, see if I would find you identical with the ideal image of you which had remained with me and perhaps shatter my dream with the aid of reality. -Claude Frollo
Victor Hugo

Houses are like the human beings that inhabit them.
Victor Hugo
Image
What's our baggage? Only vows, Happiness, and all our care, And the flower that sweetly shows Nestling lightly in your hair.
Victor Hugo
Image
Love is like a tree, it grows of its own accord, it puts down deep roots into our whole being.
Victor Hugo
Image
He had slipped, climbed, rolled, searched, walked, persevered, that is all. Such is the secret of all triumphs.
Victor Hugo
Image
How did it happen that their lips came together? How does it happen that birds sing, that snow melts, that the rose unfolds, that the dawn whitens behind the stark shapes of trees on the quivering summit of the hill? A kiss, and all was said.
Victor Hugo
Image
Great grief is a divine and terrible radiance which transfigures the wretched.
Victor Hugo
Image
Out Milky Way is the dwelling the nebulae are the city.
Victor Hugo

Hypocrisy is nothing, in fact, but a horrible hopefulness.
