More quotes by Victor Hugo

Image
Every day has its great grief or its small anxiety. ... One cloud is dispelled, another forms. There is hardly one day in a hundred of real joy and bright sunshine.
Victor Hugo
Image
Not seeing people allows you to think of them as perfect in all kinds of ways.
Victor Hugo
Image
Loving is almost a substitute for thinking. Love is a burning forgetfulness of all other things. How shall we ask passion to be logical?
Victor Hugo
Image
To be wicked does not insure prosperity - for the inn did not succeed well.
Victor Hugo
Image
A faith is a necessity to a man. Woe to him who believes in nothing.
Victor Hugo
Image
Years place at last a venerable crown upon a head.
Victor Hugo
Image
At least you are mine! Soon – in a few months, perhaps, my angel will sleep in my arms, will awaken in my arms, will live there. All your thought at all moments, all your looks will be for me all my thought, all my moments, all my looks will be for you!
Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
Image
Man's greatest actions are performed in minor struggles. Life, misfortune, isolation, abandonment and poverty are battlefields which have their heroes - obscure heroes who are at times greater than illustrious heroes.
Victor Hugo
Image
...mothers are often fondest of the child which has caused them the greatest pain.
Victor Hugo
Image
At a certain depth of distress, the poor, in their stupor, groan no longer over evil, and are no longer thankful for good.
Victor Hugo
Image
No religion but blasphemes a little.
Victor Hugo
Image
Forget not, never forget that you have promised me to use this silver to become an honest man.... Jean Valjean, my brother: you belong no longer to evil, but to good. It is your soul that I am buying for you. I withdraw it from dark thoughts and from the spirit of perdition, and I give it to God!
Victor Hugo
Image
Seeing so much poverty everywhere makes me think that God is not rich. He gives the appearance of it, but I suspect some financial difficulties.
Victor Hugo
Image
I'd rather be hissed at for a good verse, than applauded for a bad one.
Victor Hugo
Image
We need those who pray constantly to compensate for those who do not pray at all.
Victor Hugo
Image
Idleness is the heaviest of all oppressions.
Victor Hugo
Image
The mother...swinging the children by pulling on a length of string, while at the same time she kept and eye on them with that protective watchfulness, half animal, half angelic, which is the quality of motherhood.
