More quotes by Victor Hugo
At a certain depth of distress, the poor, in their stupor, groan no longer over evil, and are no longer thankful for good.
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.
Victor Hugo
If we must suffer, let us suffer nobly.
Victor Hugo
A great artist is a great man in a great child.
Victor Hugo
Do not economize on the hymeneal rites do not prune them of their splendor, nor split farthings on the day when you are radiant. A wedding is not house-keeping.
Victor Hugo
Religion, Society, and Nature--these are the three struggles of man.
Victor Hugo
The brutalities of progress are called revolutions. When they are over we realize this: that the human race has been roughly handled, but that it has advanced.
Victor Hugo
I had a dream my life would be different from this hell I am living, so different from what it seemed. Now life has killed the dream I dreamed.
Victor Hugo
The wise man does not grow old, but ripens.
Victor Hugo
Winter is on my head, but eternal spring is in my heart I breathe at this hour the fragrance of the lilacs, the violets, and the roses, as at twenty years ago.
Victor Hugo
The thirst for the Infinite proves infinity.
Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
Love is reducing the universe to one being.
Victor Hugo
Life is a theatre set in which there are but few practicable entrances.
Victor Hugo
To rescue from oblivion even a fragment of a language which men have used and which is in danger of being lost -that is to say, one of the elements, whether good or bad, which have shaped and complicated civilization -is to extend the scope of social observation and to serve civilization.
Victor Hugo
Friendship exists outside our modern economy of scarcity... It's not about apportioning vanishing resources of time and energy. Friendship is a blessed relic of the ancient economy of the gift, and the time freely given to people dear to you actually creates magical abundance.
Victor Hugo
The English took the eagle and Austrians the eaglet. [Fr., L'Angleterre prit l'aigle, et l'Autriche l'aiglon.]
Victor Hugo
The world is the expanding Greece and Greece is the shrinking world.
Victor Hugo
Slaves would be tyrants were the chance theirs.
Victor Hugo
Every bird which flies has the thread of the infinite in its claw.
Victor Hugo
