But when ill indeed, Even dismissing the doctor don't always succeed.
Victor Hugo
Image
Often when we think we are knotting one thread, we are tying quite another.
Victor Hugo

Forget not, never forget that you have promised me to use this silver to become an honest man.... Jean Valjean, my brother: you belong no longer to evil, but to good. It is your soul that I am buying for you. I withdraw it from dark thoughts and from the spirit of perdition, and I give it to God!
Victor Hugo

What is fright by night is curiosity by day.
Victor Hugo
Image
Logic ignores the almost, just as the sun ignores the candle.
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
Every bird which flies has the thread of the infinite in its claw. Germination includes the hatching of a meteor and the tap of a swallow's bill breaking the egg, and it leads forward the birth of an earth-worm and the advent of Socrates.
Victor Hugo
Image
The sewer is the conscience of the city.
Victor Hugo
Image
Foppery is the egotism of clothes.
Victor Hugo
Image
All animals are to be found in men and each of theme exists in some man, sometimes several at the time.
Victor Hugo
Image
What's our baggage? Only vows, Happiness, and all our care, And the flower that sweetly shows Nestling lightly in your hair.
