For prying into any human affairs, non are equal to those whom it does not concern.
Victor Hugo
Image
It seemed to be a necessary ritual that he should prepare himself for sleep by meditating under the solemnity of the night sky... a mysterious transaction between the infinity of the soul and the infinity of the universe.
Victor Hugo
Image
Jesus wept Voltaire smiled. From that divine tear and from that human smile is derived the grace of present civilization.
Victor Hugo
Image
Are you afraid of the good you might do?
Victor Hugo
Image
Why worry about what threatens our heads or purses? Let us think instead of what threatens our souls.
Victor Hugo
Image
Each of our passions, even love, has a stomach that must not be overloaded. We must in everything write the word 'finis' in time we must restrain ourselves, when it becomes urgent we must draw the bolt on the appetite, play a fantasia on the violin, then break the strings with our own hand. The Wise man is he who knows when and how to stop.
Victor Hugo
Image
A day will come when markets, open to trade, and minds, open to ideas, will become the sole battlefield.
Victor Hugo
Image
There are people who observe the rules of honor as one observes the stars, from a great distance.
Victor Hugo
Image
The great acts of love are done by those who are habitually performing small acts of kindness.
Victor Hugo
Image
One of the hardest labours of the just man is to expunge from his soul a malevolence which it is difficult to efface.
Victor Hugo
Image
You ask me what forces me to speak? a strange thing my conscience.
Victor Hugo
Image
Word which the finger of God has written on the brow of every man — hope!
Victor Hugo
Image
It is not so easy to keep silent when the silence is a lie.
Victor Hugo
Image
She worked in order to live, and presently fell in love, also in order to live, for the heart, too, has its hunger.
Victor Hugo
Image
I should hope so, Laigle replied, for my coat and I live comfortably together. It has assumed all my wrinkles, does not hurt me anywhere, has moulded itself on my deformities, and is complacent to all my movements, and 1 only feel its presence because it keeps me warm.
Victor Hugo
Image
The need of the immaterial is the most deeply rooted of all needs. One must have bread but before bread, one must have the ideal.
Victor Hugo
Image
Man does not understand nor accept immortality except on condition of self-remembrance.
Victor Hugo
Image
There is will in the thought, there is none in the dream. The dream, which is completely spontaneous, takes and keeps, even in the gigantic and the ideal, the form of our mind. Nothing springs more directly and more sincerely from the very bottom of our souls than our unreflected and indefinite aspirations towards the splendours of destiny.
Victor Hugo
Image
It is ourselves we have to fear. Prejudice is the real robber, and vice the real murderer.
Victor Hugo
Image
Adversity makes men, and prosperity makes monsters.
