No religion but blasphemes a little.
Victor Hugo
The greatest products of architecture are less the works of individuals than of society rather the offspring of a nation's effort, than the inspired flash of a man of genius.
Victor Hugo
He reached for his pocket, and found there, only reality
Victor Hugo
Monastic incarceration is castration.
Victor Hugo
And the dream that our mind had sketched in haste Shall others continue, but never complete. For none upon earth can achieve his scheme The best as the worst are futile here: We wake at the self-same point of the dream, All is here begun, and finished elsewhere.
Victor Hugo
Not seeing people allows you to think of them as perfect in all kinds of ways.
Victor Hugo
To die for lack of love is horrible. The asphyxia of the soul.

Victor Hugo
One of the hardest tasks is to extract continually from one's soul an almost inexhaustible ill will.
Victor Hugo
Do not let it be your aim to be something, but to be someone.
Victor Hugo
And if it happened to be a Christmas-night when the great bell seemed to rattle in its throat as it called the faithful to the midnight mass, there was such an indescribable air of life spread over the sombre facade that the great door-way looked as if it were swallowing the entire crowd, and the rose-window staring at them.
Victor Hugo
Gavroche had fallen only to rise again he sat up, a long stream of blood rolled down his face, he raised both arms in air, looked in the direction whence the shot came, and began to sing.
Victor Hugo
Progress is not accomplished in one stage.
Victor Hugo
I don't mind what Congress does, as long as they don't do it in the streets and frighten the horses.
Victor Hugo
There have been in this century only one great man and one great thing: Napoleon and liberty. For want of the great man, let us have the great thing.
Victor Hugo
Without at all invalidating what we have just said, we believe that a perpetual remembrance of the tomb is proper for the living. On this point, the priest and the philosopher agree: We must die.
Victor Hugo
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
I am a soul. I know well that what I shall render up to the grave is not myself. That which is myself will go elsewhere. Earth, thou art not my abyss!
Victor Hugo
