Victor Hugo
Image
Everything speaks: the flowing airstream and the sailing halycon, the blade of grass, the flower, the bud, the element did you imagine the universe to be otherwise?
Victor Hugo
Image
Though one believes in nothing, there are moments in life when one accepts the religion of the temple nearest at hand.
Victor Hugo
Image
God in his harmony has equal ends For cedar that resists and reed that bends For good it is a woman sometimes rules, Holds in her hand the power, and manners, schools, And laws, and mind succeeding master proud, With gentle voice and smiles she leads the crowd, The somber human troop.
Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
Image

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
Image
There is nothing like a dream to create the future.
Victor Hugo
Image
There are many lovely women, but no perfect ones.
Victor Hugo
Image
She loved with so much passion as she loved with ignorance. She did not know whether it were good or evil, beneficent or dangerous, necessary or accidental, eternal or transitory, permitted or prohibited: she loved.
Victor Hugo
Image
Sire, you are looking at a plain man, and I am looking at a great man. Each of us may benefit.
Victor Hugo
Image
A garden to walk in and immensity to dream in--what more could he ask? A few flowers at his feet and above him the stars.
Victor Hugo
Image
There have been in this century only one great man and one great thing: Napoleon and liberty. For want of the great man, let us have the great thing.
Victor Hugo
Image
As for the bishop, the sight of the guillotine was a great shock to him, from which he recovered only slowly.
Victor Hugo
Image
For, to make deserts, God, who rules mankind, Begins with kings, and ends the work by wind.
