Image
Hell is an outrage on humanity. When you tell me that your deity made you in his image, I reply that he must have been very ugly.
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

Because a fact seems strange to you, you conclude that it is not one. ... All science, however, commences by being strange. Science is successive. It goes from one wonder to another. It mounts by a ladder. The science of to-day would seem extravagant to the science of a former time. Ptolemy would believe Newton mad.
Victor Hugo
Image
Society is a republic. When an individual tries to lift themselves above others, they are dragged down by the mass, either by ridicule or slander.

A wedding is not house-keeping.
Victor Hugo

God secludes Himself but the thinker listens at the door.
Victor Hugo
Image
To lie a little is not possible: he who lies, lies the whole lie.
Victor Hugo
Image
A saint addicted to excessive self-abnegation is a dangerous associate he may infect you with poverty, and a stiffening of those joints which are needed for advancement-in a word, with more renunciation than you care for-and so you flee the contagion.
Victor Hugo
Image
If the infinite had no me, then me would be its limit. It would not be the infinite, therefore it would not be.
Victor Hugo
Image
To love is the half of to believe.
Victor Hugo
Image
Marius and Cosette were in the dark in regard to each other. They did not speak, they did not bow, they were not acquainted they saw each other and, like the stars in the sky separated by millions of leagues, they lived by gazing upon each other.
Victor Hugo

Death belongs to God alone by what right do men touch that unknown thing?
