Image
Enthusiasm is the fever of reason.
Victor Hugo
Image
One only needs to see a smile in a white crape bonnet in order to enter the palace of dreams.
Victor Hugo
Image
Need is a low door which, when we must by stern necessity pass through, forces the greatest to bend down the most.
Victor Hugo
Image
Nothing can be sadder or more profound than to see a thousand things for the first and last time.
Victor Hugo
Image
To love or have loved is all-sufficing. We must not ask for more. No other pearl is to be found in the shadowfolds of life. To love is an accomplishment.
Victor Hugo
Image
To rove about, musing, that is to say loitering, is, for a philosopher, a good way of spending time, especially in that kind of mock rurality, ugly but odd, and partaking of two natures, which surrounds certain large cities, particularly Paris.
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.
Victor Hugo
Image
When dictatorship is a fact, revolution becomes a right.
Victor Hugo
Image
There is a spectacle more grand than the sea it is heaven there is a spectacle more grand than heaven it is the conscience.
Victor Hugo
Image
Love is like a tree: it grows by itself, roots itself deeply in our being and continues to flourish over a heart in ruin. The inexplicable fact is that the blinder it is, the more tenacious it is. It is never stronger than when it is completely unreasonable.
Victor Hugo
Image
Teach the ignorant as much as you can society is culpable in not providing a free education for all and it must answer for the night which it produces. If the soul is left in darkness sins will be committed. The guilty one is not he who commits the sin, but he who causes the darkness.
Victor Hugo
Image
Give to a being the useless, and deprive him of the needful, and you have the gamin.
Victor Hugo
Image
It seems as though, at the approach of a certain dark hour, the light of heaven infills those who are leaving the light of earth.
Victor Hugo
Image
Love is reducing the universe to one being.
Victor Hugo
Image
The quantity of civilization is measured by the quality of imagination.
Victor Hugo
Image
Marius and Cosette did not ask where this would lead them. They looked at themselves as arrived. It is a strange pretension for men to ask that love should lead them somewhere.
Victor Hugo
Image
To pay compliments to the one we love is the first method of caressing, a demi-audacity venturing. A compliment is something like a kiss through a veil.
Victor Hugo
Image
History has its truth and so has legend hers.
Victor Hugo
Image
The soul does not give itself up to despair until it has exhausted all illusions.
Victor Hugo
Image
His whole life was now summed up in two words: absolute uncertainty within an impenetrable fog.
