Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
Gutenberg's invention of printing is the greatest event-the mother of revolution
Victor Hugo
The jostling of young minds against each other has this wonderful attribute, that one can never foresee the spark, nor predict the flash. What will spring up in a moment? Nobody knows.
Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
Marius and Cosette were in the dark in regard to each other. They did not speak, they did not bow, they were not acquainted they saw each other and, like the stars in the sky separated by millions of leagues, they lived by gazing upon each other.
Victor Hugo
If we must suffer, let us suffer nobly.
Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
Genius is a promontory jutting out into the infinite.
Victor Hugo
Excitement is not enjoyment: in calmness lies true pleasure. The most precious wines are sipped, not bolted at a swallow.
Victor Hugo
These are dark radiances. They have no suspicion that they are to be pitied. Certainly they are so. He who does not weep does not see. They are to be admired and pitied, as one would both pity and admire a being at once night and day, without eyes beneath his lashes but with a star on his brow.
Victor Hugo
It is most pleasant to commit a just action which is disagreeable to someone whom one does not like.
Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
Dear God! how beauty varies in nature and art. In a woman the flesh must be like marble in a statue the marble must be like flesh.
Victor Hugo
A library implies an act of faith which generations, still in darkness hid, sign in their night in witness of the dawn.
Victor Hugo
There are plenty who regard a wall behind which something is happening as a very curious thing.
Victor Hugo
God whose gifts in gracious flood Unto all who seek are sent, Only asks you to be good And is content.
Victor Hugo
There is a secret drawer in every woman's heart.
Victor Hugo
The world is the expanding Greece and Greece is the shrinking world.
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
