More quotes by Victor Hugo

Image
Loving is almost a substitute for thinking. Love is a burning forgetfulness of all other things. How shall we ask passion to be logical?
Victor Hugo
Image
O youth! thou often tearest thy wings against the thorns of voluptuousness.
Victor Hugo
Image
Heaven, on occasion, half opens its arms to us and that is the great moment.
Victor Hugo
Image
The ox suffers, the cart complains.
Victor Hugo
Image
To see so much misery everywhere, I suspect that God is not rich. He keeps up appearances, it is true, but I feel the pinch. He gives a revolution as a merchant, whose credit is low, gives a ball.
Victor Hugo
Image
Despots play their part in the works of thinkers. Fettered words are terrible words. The writer doubles and trebles the power of his writing when a ruler imposes silence on the people. Something emerges from that enforced silence, a mysterious fullness which filters through and becomes steely in the thought.
Victor Hugo
Image
What love commences can be finished by God alone.
Victor Hugo
Image
The spirit of God, like the sun, always gives all its light at once. The spirit of man resembles the pale moon, which has its phases, its absences and its returns, its lucidity and its spots, its fullness and its disappearance, which borrows all its light from the rays of the sun, and which still dares to intercept them on occasion.
Victor Hugo
Image
He who opens a school door, closes a prison.
Victor Hugo
Image
There is one spectacle grander than the sea, That is the sky.
Victor Hugo
Image
Man's greatest actions are performed in minor struggles. Life, misfortune, isolation, abandonment and poverty are battlefields which have their heroes - obscure heroes who are at times greater than illustrious heroes.
Victor Hugo
Image
Death belongs to God alone by what right do men touch that unknown thing?
Victor Hugo
Image
At the moment when her eyes closed, when all feeling vanished in her, she thought that she felt a touch of fire imprinted on her lips, a kiss more burning than the red-hot iron of the executioner.
Victor Hugo
Image
There is no distress so complete but that even in the most critical moments the inexplicable sunrise of hope is seen in its depths.
Victor Hugo
Image
Night and the day, when united, Bring forth the beautiful light.
Victor Hugo
Image
The first proof of charity in a priest, and especially a bishop, is poverty.
Victor Hugo
Image
The first symptom of true love in a man is timidity, in a young woman, boldness. This is surprising, and yet nothing is more simple. It is the two sexes tending to approach each other and assuming each the other's qualities.
Victor Hugo
Image
If a man has his throat cut in Paris, it's a murder. If 50,000 people are murdered in the east, it is a question.
Victor Hugo
Image
When grace combines with wrinkles, it is admirable. There is an indescribable light of dawn about intensely happy old age. . . . The young person is handsome, but the old, superb.
Victor Hugo
Image
Freedom in art, freedom in society, this is the double goal towards which all consistent and logical minds must strive.
