Taste is the common sense of genius.

God made the water but men made the wine.
Victor Hugo
Image
By putting forward the hands of the clock you shall not advance the hour.
Victor Hugo
Image
Ah! There you are! he exclaimed, looking at Jean Valjean. I'm so glad to see you. Well, but how is this? I gave you the candlesticks too, which are of silver like the rest, and for which you can certainly get two hundred francs. Why did you not carry them away with your forks and spoons?
Victor Hugo
Image
We do not comprehend everything, but we insult nothing.
Victor Hugo
Image
There are moments when a rope's end, a pole, the branch of the tree, is life itself, and it is a frightful thing to see a living being lose his hold upon it, and fall like a ripe fruit.
Victor Hugo
Image
Brothers, he who dies here dies in the radiance of the future, and we are entering a tomb all flooded with the dawn.
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.

God made only water, but man made wine.

Image
A sewer is a cynic. It tells All.
Victor Hugo
Image
The future has many names: For the weak, it means the unattainable. For the fearful, it means the unknown. For the courageous, it means opportunity.
Victor Hugo
Image
To meditate is to labour to think is to act.
Victor Hugo
Image
Without vanity, without coquetry, without curiosity, in a word, without the fall, woman would not be woman. Much of her grace is in her frailty.
Victor Hugo
Image
The wise man does not grow old, but ripens.
Victor Hugo
Image
We shall look on crime as a disease, and its physicians shall displace the judges, its hospitals displace the Galleys. Liberty and health shall be alike. We shall pour balm and oil where we formerly applied iron and fire evil will be treated in charity, instead of in anger. This change will be simple and sublime.
Victor Hugo
Image
Pain is as diverse as man. One suffers as one can.
Victor Hugo
Image
The tomb is not a blind alley: it is a thoroughfare. It closes on the twilight. It opens on the dawn.
Victor Hugo
Image
But when ill indeed, Even dismissing the doctor don't always succeed.
Victor Hugo
Image
If you wish to understand what Revolution is, call it Progress and if you wish to understand what Progress is, call it Tomorrow.

Whatever causes night in our souls may leave stars.
