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

Woman, nude, is the blue sky. Clouds and garments are an obstacle to contemplation. Beauty and infinity would be gazed upon unveiled.
Victor Hugo
Image
The reduction of the universe to the compass of a single being, and the extension of a single being until it reaches God - that is love. Love is the salute of the angels to the stars. How sad is the heart when rendered sad by love! How great is the void created by the absence of the being who alone fills the world.
Victor Hugo

M. Mabeuf’s political opinion was a passionate fondness for plants, and a still greater one for books. He had, like everybody else, his termination in ist, without which nobody could have lived in those times, but he was neither a royalist, nor a Bonapartist, nor a chartist, nor an Orleanist, nor an anarchist he was an old-bookist.
Victor Hugo
Image
A bird sings, a child prattles, but it is the same hymn hymn indistinct, inarticulate, but full of profound meaning.
Victor Hugo
Image
Of all the things that God has made, the human heart is the one which sheds the most light, alas! and the most darkness.
Victor Hugo
Image
We are for religion against the religions.
Victor Hugo
Image
Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched, and those who have tried for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives.
Victor Hugo
Image
We should judge a man much more surely from what he dreams than from what he thinks.
Victor Hugo
Image
Earnestness is the salt of eloquence.
Victor Hugo
Image
Equality does not mean that all plants must grow to the same height - a society of tall grass and dwarf trees, a jostle of conflicting jealousies. It means, in civic terms, an equal outlet for all talents in political terms, that all votes will carry the same weight and in religious terms that all beliefs will enjoy equal rights.
