My day's work will begin again the next morning. The tomb is not a blind alley.
Victor Hugo
Image
One is not idle because one is absorbed. There is both visible and invisible labor. To contemplate is to toil, to think is to do. The crossed arms work, the clasped hands act. The eyes upturned to Heaven are an act of creation.
Victor Hugo
Image
Music is the vapor of art. It is to poetry what reverie is to thought, what fluid is to solid, what the ocean of clouds is to the ocean of waves.
Victor Hugo
Image

Image
For prying into any human affairs, non are equal to those whom it does not concern.
Victor Hugo
Image
What a grand thing, to be loved! What a grander thing still, to love!
Victor Hugo
Image
Work, which makes a man free, and thought, which makes him worthy of freedom.
Victor Hugo
Image
Of all the things that God has made, the human heart is the one which sheds the most light, alas! and the most darkness.
Victor Hugo
Image
Have no fear of robbers or murderers. They are external dangers, petty dangers. We should fear ourselves. Prejudices are the real robbers vices the real murderers. The great dangers are within us. Why worry about what threatens our heads or our purses? Let us think instead of what threatens our souls.
Victor Hugo
Image
...Man lives by affirmation even more than he does by bread.
Victor Hugo
Image
She worked in order to live, and presently fell in love, also in order to live, for the heart, too, has its hunger.
