Women play with their beauty as children do with their knives. They wound themselves with it.
Victor Hugo
Image
Beauty is as useful as the useful. More so, perhaps. (Le beau est aussi utile que l'utile. Plus peut-etre.)
Victor Hugo
Image
Children at once accept joy and happiness with quick familiarity, being themselves naturally all happiness and joy.
Victor Hugo
Image
God knows better than we do what we need.
Victor Hugo
Image
Love is like a tree: it grows by itself, roots itself deeply in our being and continues to flourish over a heart in ruin. The inexplicable fact is that the blinder it is, the more tenacious it is. It is never stronger than when it is completely unreasonable.
Victor Hugo
Image
For true poetry, complete poetry, consists in the harmony of contraries. Hence, it is time to say aloud--and it is here above allthat exceptions prove the rule--that everything that exists in nature exists in art.
Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
Image
Work is the law of life, and to reject it as boredom is to submit to it as torment.
Victor Hugo
Image
What happened between those two beings? Nothing. They were adoring one another.
Victor Hugo
Image
He never went out without a book under his arm, and he often came back with two.
Victor Hugo
Image
I advance in life, I grow more simple, and I become more and more patriotic for humanity.
Victor Hugo
Image
It is the end. But of what? The end of France? No. The end of kings? Yes.
Victor Hugo
Image
A poet is a world enclosed in a man.
Victor Hugo
Image
The thirst for the Infinite proves infinity.
Victor Hugo
Image
There are no trifles in the human story, no trifling leaves on the tree.
Victor Hugo
Image
God made only water, but man made wine.
Victor Hugo
Image
And if it happened to be a Christmas-night when the great bell seemed to rattle in its throat as it called the faithful to the midnight mass, there was such an indescribable air of life spread over the sombre facade that the great door-way looked as if it were swallowing the entire crowd, and the rose-window staring at them.
