To learn to read is to light a fire every syllable that is spelled out is a spark.
Victor Hugo
Image
There is no more sovereign eloquence than the truth in indignation.
Victor Hugo
Image
We say and exclaim within ourselves without breaking silence, in a tumult where everything speaks except our mouths. The realities of the soul are none the less real for being invisible and impalpable.
Victor Hugo
Image
where would the shout of love begin, if not from the summit of sacrifice?
Victor Hugo
Image
And if it happened to be a Christmas-night when the great bell seemed to rattle in its throat as it called the faithful to the midnight mass, there was such an indescribable air of life spread over the sombre facade that the great door-way looked as if it were swallowing the entire crowd, and the rose-window staring at them.
Victor Hugo
Image
The beautiful is as useful as the useful. He added after a moment’s silence, Perhaps more so.
Victor Hugo

I didn't believe it could be so monstrous. It's wrong to be so absorbed in divine law as not to perceive human law. Death belongs to God alone. By what right do men tough that unknown thing?
Victor Hugo
Image
Sleep comes more easily than it returns.
Victor Hugo
Image
He, who every morning plans the transactions of the day, and follows that plan, carries a thread that will guide him through a labyrinth of the most busy life.
Victor Hugo
Image
Thought is the labor of the intellect, reverie is its pleasure.
Victor Hugo
Image

Victor Hugo
Image
There are things stronger than the strongest man.
Victor Hugo
Image
She had had sweet dreams, which possibly arose from the fact that her little bed was very white.
Victor Hugo
Image
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
Image
Give to a being the useless, and deprive him of the needful, and you have the gamin.
Victor Hugo
Image
Anger may be foolish and absurd, and one may be wrongly irritated, but a man never feels outraged unless in some respect he is fundamentally right.
Victor Hugo
Image
Whom man kills, him God restoreth to life.
Victor Hugo
