More quotes by Victor Hugo
Does not beauty confer a benefit upon us, even by the simple fact of being beautiful?
Victor Hugo
Women play with their beauty as children do with their knives. They wound themselves with it.
Victor Hugo
Wherever the Turkish hoof trods, no grass grows.
Victor Hugo
We are on the side of religion as opposed to religions, and we are among those who believe in the wretched inadequacy of sermons and the sublimity of prayer.
Victor Hugo
The mind's eye can nowhere find anything more dazzling or more dark than in man it can fix itself upon nothing which is more awful, more complex, more mysterious, or more infinite. There is one spectacle grander than the sea, that is the sky there is one spectacle grander than the sky, that is the interior of the soul.
Victor Hugo
If you are leaving that sorrowful place with hate and anger against men, you are worthy of compassion if you leave it with good will, gentleness and peace, you are better than any of us.
Victor Hugo
Have courage for the great sorrows of life and patience for the small ones and when you have laboriously accomplished your daily task, go to sleep in peace.
Victor Hugo
I am an intelligent river which has reflected successively all the banks before which it has flowed by meditating only on the images offered by those changing shores.
Victor Hugo
He had, they said, tasted in succession all the apples of the tree of knowledge, and, whether from hunger or disgust, had ended by tasting the forbidden fruit.
Victor Hugo
He saw before him two roads, both equally straight but he saw two and that terrified him — him, who had never in his life known but one straight line. And, bitter anguish, these two roads were contradictory.
Victor Hugo
A breath of Paris preserves the soul.
Victor Hugo
Dying is nothing. What's terrible is not to live.
Victor Hugo
He was at his own request and through his own complicity driven out of all his happinesses one after the other and he had this sorrow, that after having lost Cosette wholly in one day, he was afterwards obliged to lose her again in detail.
Victor Hugo
You say, Where goest Thou? I cannot tell, And still go on. But if the way be straight I cannot go amiss: before me lies Dawn and the day: the night behind me: that Suffices me: I break the bounds: I see, And nothing more believe and nothing less. My future is not one of my concerns.
Victor Hugo
There are many tongues to talk, and but few heads to think.
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
A joyous little creature, so beautiful, It was as if a gate of Heaven opened as she came in.
Victor Hugo
Nothing awakens reminiscence like an aroma.
Victor Hugo
Symmetry is ennui, and ennui is the very essence of grief and melancholy. Despair yawns.
Victor Hugo
Love resembles a tree: it bends under its own weight, deeply rooted in our being and sometimes turns green in the ruins of a heart.
