Victor Hugo
Image
We need those who pray constantly to compensate for those who do not pray at all.
Victor Hugo
Image
One only needs to see a smile in a white crape bonnet in order to enter the palace of dreams.
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
As for the bishop, the sight of the guillotine was a great shock to him, from which he recovered only slowly.

Victor Hugo
Image
One is not idle because one is absorbed. There is both visible and invisible labor. To contemplate is to toil, to think is to do. The crossed arms work, the clasped hands act. The eyes upturned to Heaven are an act of creation.
Victor Hugo
Image
Not ill? No truly, I am young, healthful, and strong the blood flows freely in my veins my limbs obey my will I am robust in mind and body, constituted for a long life. Yes, all this is true and yet, nevertheless, I have an illness, a fatal illness,-an illness given by the hand of man!
Victor Hugo
Image
Nature, like a kind and smiling mother, lends herself to our dreams and cherishes our fancies.
Victor Hugo
Image
Emotion is always new and the word has always served therein lies the difficulty of expressing emotion.
Victor Hugo
Image
God knows better than we do what we need.
Victor Hugo
Image
There is suffering in the light in excess it burns. Flame is hostile to the wing. To burn and yet to fly, this is the miracle of genius.
Victor Hugo
Image
A garden to walk in and immensity to dream in--what more could he ask? A few flowers at his feet and above him the stars.
