Victor Hugo
Image
The last resort of kings, the cannonball. The last resort of the people, the paving stone.
Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
Image
All roads are blocked to a philosophy which reduces everything to the word no. To no there is only one answer and that is yes. Nihilism has no substance. There is no such thing as nothingness, and zero does not exist. Everything is something. Nothing is nothing. Man lives more by affirmation than by bread.
Victor Hugo
Image
There must be people who pray even for those who never pray.
Victor Hugo
Image
Blessed be Providence which has given to each his toy: the doll to the child, the child to the woman, the woman to the man, the man to the devil!
Victor Hugo
Image
To put everything in balance is good, to put everything in harmony is better.
Victor Hugo
Image
The future has many names: For the weak, it means the unattainable. For the fearful, it means the unknown. For the courageous, it means opportunity.
Victor Hugo
Image
To meditate is to labour to think is to act.
Victor Hugo
Image
The memory of an absent person shines in the deepest recesses of the heart, shining the more brightly the more wholly its object has vanished: a light on the horizon of the despairing, darkened spirit a star gleaming in our inward night.
Victor Hugo
Image
You preserve your shame but you kill your glory.
