More quotes by Victor Hugo
When love has fused and mingled two beings in a sacred and angelic unity, the secret of life has been discovered so far as they are concerned they are no longer anything more than the two boundaries of the same destiny they are no longer anything but the two wings of the same spirit. Love, soar.
Victor Hugo
Great blunders are often made, like large ropes, of a multitude of fibers. Take the cable thread by thread, take separately all the little determining motives, you break them one after another, and you say: that is all! Wind them and twist them together, they become an enormity.
Victor Hugo
Death belongs to God alone by what right do men touch that unknown thing?
Victor Hugo
There are many lovely women, but no perfect ones.
Victor Hugo
To meditate is to labour to think is to act. Folded arms work, closed hands perform, a gaze fixed on heaven is a toil.
Victor Hugo
How frightened hypocrisy hastens to defend itself.
Victor Hugo
The ode lives upon the ideal, the epic upon the grandiose, the drama upon the real.
Victor Hugo
Revolution is the larva of civilization.
Victor Hugo
The onward march of the human race requires that the heights around it constantly blaze with noble lessons of courage. Deeds of daring dazzle history and form one of man's guiding lights.
Victor Hugo
Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face.
Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
By putting forward the hands of the clock you shall not advance the hour.
Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
God will bless you,' said he, 'you are an angel since you take care of the flowers.' 'No,' she replied. 'I am the devil, but that's all the same to me.
Victor Hugo
Love resembles a tree: it bends under its own weight, deeply rooted in our being and sometimes turns green in the ruins of a heart.
Victor Hugo
It is ourselves we have to fear. Prejudice is the real robber, and vice the real murderer.
Victor Hugo
Good actions are the invisible hinges on the doors of heaven.
Victor Hugo
People generally will soon understand that writers should be judged, not according to rules and species, which are contrary to nature and art, but according to the immutable principles of the art of composition, and the special laws of their individual temperaments.
Victor Hugo
A day will come when a cannon will be exhibited in museums, just as instruments of torture are now, and the people will be astonished that such a thing could have been.
Victor Hugo
The day that a woman who is passing before you sheds a light upon you as she goes, you are lost, you love. You have then but one thing to do: to think of her so earnestly that she will be compelled to think of you.
Victor Hugo
