Image
Solitude either develops the mental power, or renders men dull and vicious.
Victor Hugo
Image
Hope is a delusion no hand can grasp a wave or a shadow.
Victor Hugo
Image
The omnipotence of evil has never resulted in anything but fruitless efforts. Our thoughts always escape from whoever tries to smother them.
Victor Hugo
Image
From the oyster to the eagle, from the swine to the tiger, all animals are to be found in men and each of them exists in some man, sometimes several at the time. Animals are nothing but the portrayal of our virtues and vices made manifest to our eyes, the visible reflections of our souls. God displays them to us to give us food for thought.
Victor Hugo
Image
Children at once accept joy and happiness with quick familiarity, being themselves naturally all happiness and joy.
Victor Hugo
Image
You have enemies? Why, it is the story of every man who has done a great deed or created a new idea. It is the cloud which thunders around everything that shines. Fame must have enemies, as light must have gnats. Do no bother yourself about it disdain. Keep your mind serene as you keep your life clear.
Victor Hugo
Image

Victor Hugo
Image
Nothing is more dangerous than discontinued labor it is habit lost. A habit easy to abandon, difficult to resume.
Victor Hugo
Image
Dry happiness is like dry bread. We eat, but we do not dine. I wish for the superfluous, for the useless, for the extravagant, for the too much, for that which is not good for anything.
Victor Hugo
Image
God in his harmony has equal ends For cedar that resists and reed that bends For good it is a woman sometimes rules, Holds in her hand the power, and manners, schools, And laws, and mind succeeding master proud, With gentle voice and smiles she leads the crowd, The somber human troop.
Victor Hugo
Image
The true artist can only labor con amore.
Victor Hugo
Image
To divinise is human, to humanise is divine.
Victor Hugo
Image
There is a secret drawer in every woman's heart.
Victor Hugo
Image
Melancholy is the pleasure of being sad.
Victor Hugo
Image
Success is an ugly thing. Men are deceived by its false resemblances to merit.... They confound the brilliance of the firmament with the star-shaped footprints of a duck in the mud.
