Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
Image
Everything Changes. The only thing that remains immovable across the centuries and fixes the character of a people is cooking.
Victor Hugo
Image
Religion, Society, and Nature--these are the three struggles of man.
Victor Hugo
Image
It is sad to tell, but after having tried society, which had caused his misfortune, he tried Providence which created society, and condemned it also.
Victor Hugo

Love is a fault so be it.
Victor Hugo
Image
O darkness, the sky is a gloomy precinct Whose door you close, and whose key the soul owns And night divides itself in half, being diabolical and holy, Between Ilis, the black angel, and Christ, the starry Human Being.

To meditate is to labour to think is to act.

Great buildings, like great mountains, are the work of centuries.
