But when ill indeed, Even dismissing the doctor don't always succeed.
Victor Hugo
Image
To be a saint is the exception to be a just person is the rule. Err, stumble, commit sin, but be one of the just.
Victor Hugo
Image
Emotion is always new and the word has always served therein lies the difficulty of expressing emotion.
Victor Hugo

At least you are mine! Soon – in a few months, perhaps, my angel will sleep in my arms, will awaken in my arms, will live there. All your thought at all moments, all your looks will be for me all my thought, all my moments, all my looks will be for you!

Victor Hugo
Image
The animal is ignorant of the fact that he knows. The man is aware of the fact that he is ignorant.
Victor Hugo
Image
He who is not capable of enduring poverty is not capable of being free.
Victor Hugo
Image
An increase of tenderness always ended by boiling over and turning to indignation. He was at the point where we seek to adopt a course, and to accept what tears us apart.
Victor Hugo
Image
The guilty one is not he who commits the sin, but he who causes the darkness.
Victor Hugo
Image
Great grief is a divine and terrible radiance which transfigures the wretched.
Victor Hugo
Image
Let us say it now: to be blind and to be loved, is indeed, upon this earth where nothing is complete, one of the most strangely exquisite forms of happiness.
Victor Hugo
Image
He who despairs is wrong.
Victor Hugo
Image
We shall look on crime as a disease, and its physicians shall displace the judges, its hospitals displace the Galleys. Liberty and health shall be alike. We shall pour balm and oil where we formerly applied iron and fire evil will be treated in charity, instead of in anger. This change will be simple and sublime.

Have but luck, and you will have the rest be fortunate, and you will be thought great.
