More quotes by Victor Hugo
I met in the street a very poor young man who was in love. His hat was old, his coat worn, his cloak was out at the elbows, the water passed through his shoes, - and the stars through his soul.
Victor Hugo
Nihilism has no substance. There is no such thing as nothingness, and zero does not exist. Everything is something. Nothing is nothing.
Victor Hugo
Men are still men. The despot's wickedness Comes of ill teaching, and of power's excess,-- Comes of the purple he from childhood wears, Slaves would be tyrants if the chance were theirs.
Victor Hugo
Beauty is as useful as the useful. More so, perhaps. (Le beau est aussi utile que l'utile. Plus peut-etre.)
Victor Hugo
If he had had all Peru in his pocket, he would certainly have given it to this dancer but Gringoire had not Peru in his pocket and besides, America was not yet discovered. (p. 66)
Victor Hugo
This book should be read as one would read the book of a dead man.
Victor Hugo
Diamonds are to be found only in the darkness of the earth, and truth in the darkness of the mind.
Victor Hugo
I believe, sir, in all the progress. Air navigation is the result of the oceanic navigation: from water the human has to pass in the air. Everywhere where creation will be breathable to him, the human will penetrate into the creation. Our only limit is life.
Victor Hugo
The wise man is he who knows when and how to stop
Victor Hugo
Profound hearts, wise minds, take life as God makes it it is a long trial, and unintelligible preparation for the unknown destiny.
Victor Hugo
The holy law of Jesus Christ governs our civilisation, but it does not yet permeate it.
Victor Hugo
Love, thine is the future. Death, I use thee, but I hate thee. Citizens, there shall be in the future neither darkness nor thunderbolts neither ferocious ignorance nor blood for blood.
Victor Hugo
A creditor is worse than a slave-owner for the master owns only your person, but a creditor owns your dignity, and can command it.
Victor Hugo
A day will come when all nations on our continent will form a European brotherhood... A day will come when we shall see... the United States of America and the United States of Europe face to face, reaching out for each other across the seas.
Victor Hugo
The true artist can only labor con amore.
Victor Hugo
Each of our passions, even love, has a stomach that must not be overloaded. We must in everything write the word 'finis' in time we must restrain ourselves, when it becomes urgent we must draw the bolt on the appetite, play a fantasia on the violin, then break the strings with our own hand. The Wise man is he who knows when and how to stop.
Victor Hugo
The guilty one is not he who commits the sin, but he who causes the darkness.
Victor Hugo
What love commences can be finished by God alone.
Victor Hugo
To put everything in balance is good, to put everything in harmony is better.
Victor Hugo
The power of a glance has been so much abused in love stories, that it has come to be disbelieved in. Few people dare now to say that two beings have fallen in love because they have looked at each other. Yet it is in this way that love begins, and in this way only.
