Thought is the labor of the intellect, reverie is its pleasure.
Victor Hugo
Image
Idleness, pleasure, what abysses! To do nothing is a dreary course to take, be sure of it. To live idle upon the substance of society! To be useless, that is to say, noxious! This leads straight to the lowest depth of misery.
Victor Hugo
Image
Ma vie est une énigme dont ton nom est le mot. (My life is an enigma, of which your name is the word.)
Victor Hugo
Image
The greatest blunders, like the thickest ropes, are often compounded of a multitude of strands. Take the rope apart, separate it into the small threads that compose it, and you can break them one by one. You think, That is all there was! But twist them all together and you have something tremendous.
Victor Hugo

If she gives me all her time it is because I have all her heart.
Victor Hugo
Image
The true artist can only labor con amore.
Victor Hugo
Image
Wonderful nature has a double meaning, which dazzles great minds and blinds uncultivated souls. When man is ignorant, when the desert is filled with visions, the darkness of solitude is added to the darkness of intelligence hence, in man, the possibilities of perdition
Victor Hugo

Idleness is a mother. She has a son, robbery, and a daughter, hunger.
Victor Hugo
Image
We teachers make the road, others will make the journey.
Victor Hugo
Image
Do you hear the people sing Lost in the valley of the night? It is the music of a people Who are climbing to the light. For the wretched of the earth There is a flame that never dies. Even the darkest night will end And the sun will rise.
Victor Hugo
Image
What happened between those two beings? Nothing. They were adoring one another.
Victor Hugo
Image
Inanimate objects sometimes appear endowed with a strange power of sight. A statue notices, a tower watches, the face of an edifice contemplates.
Victor Hugo
Image
Life is a flower of which love is honey.
Victor Hugo
Image
Nature is pitiless she never withdraws her flowers, her music, her fragrance, and her sunlight from before human cruelty or suffering.
Victor Hugo
Image
Kings are for nations in their swaddling-clothes: France has attained her majority.
Victor Hugo
Image
To commit the least possible sin is the law for man. To live without sin is the dream of an angel. Everything terrestrial is subject to sin. Sin is a gravitation.
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
If I speak, I am condemned. If I stay silent, I am damned!
Victor Hugo
Image
It was SHE. Whoever has loved knows all the radiant meaning contained in the three letters of this word ‘she.

During a wise man's whole life, his destiny holds his philosophy in a state of siege.
