More quotes by Victor Hugo
What dangers you run, O noble souls! Often, you give your heart, but we take only your body. Your heart is left to you and you look at it in the shadows and shudder.
Victor Hugo
It is not so easy to keep silent when the silence is a lie.
Victor Hugo
Let us fear the worst, but work with faith the best will always take care of itself.
Victor Hugo
Fame must have enemies, as light must have gnats.
Victor Hugo
Because a fact seems strange to you, you conclude that it is not one. ... All science, however, commences by being strange. Science is successive. It goes from one wonder to another. It mounts by a ladder. The science of to-day would seem extravagant to the science of a former time. Ptolemy would believe Newton mad.
Victor Hugo
Love is like a tree, it grows of its own accord, it puts down deep roots into our whole being.
Victor Hugo
Sublime upon sublime scarcely presents a contrast, and we need a little rest from everything, even the beautiful.
Victor Hugo
Be like the bird who, pausing in her flight awhile on boughs too slight, feels them give way beneath her, and yet sings, knowing she hath wings.
Victor Hugo
If the infinite had no me, then me would be its limit. It would not be the infinite, therefore it would not be.
Victor Hugo
Science is continually correcting what it has said. Fertile corrections... science is a ladder... poetry is a winged flight... An artistic masterpiece exists for all time... Dante does not efface Homer.
Victor Hugo
What would be ugly in a garden constitutes beauty in a mountain.
Victor Hugo
Inanimate objects sometimes appear endowed with a strange power of sight. A statue notices, a tower watches, the face of an edifice contemplates.
Victor Hugo
There is a way of meeting error while on the road of truth.
Victor Hugo
Genius is rare because the means of becoming one have not been available
Victor Hugo
Nobody loves the light like the blind man.
Victor Hugo
Not seeing people permits us to imagine them with every perfection.
Victor Hugo
Habit is the nursery of errors.
Victor Hugo
Hypocrisy is nothing, in fact, but a horrible hopefulness.
Victor Hugo
When love has fused and mingled two beings in a sacred and angelic unity, the secret of life has been discovered so far as they are concerned they are no longer anything more than the two boundaries of the same destiny they are no longer anything but the two wings of the same spirit. Love, soar.
Victor Hugo
Dear God! how beauty varies in nature and art.
Victor Hugo
