Do not economize on the hymeneal rites do not prune them of their splendor, nor split farthings on the day when you are radiant. A wedding is not house-keeping.

God knows better than we do what we need.
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
Art needs no spur beyond itself.
Victor Hugo
Image
There shall be no slavery of the mind.
Victor Hugo
Image
They say love is blindness of heart I say not to love is blindness.

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
A day will come when there will be no battlefields, but markets opening to commerce and minds opening to ideas.
Victor Hugo
Image
Taste is the common sense of genius.
Victor Hugo
Image
In this world, which is so plainly the antechamber of another, there are no happy men. The true division of humanity is between those who live in light and those who live in darkness. Our aim must be to diminish the number of the latter and increase the number of the former. That is why we demand education and knowledge.
Victor Hugo
Image
If you are stone, be magnetic if a plant, be sensitive but if you are human be love.
Victor Hugo
Image
A man is not idle because he is absorbed in thought. There is a visible labor and there is an invisible labor.
Victor Hugo
Image
A house is built of logs and stone, of tiles and posts and piers a home is built of loving deeds that stand a thousand years.
Victor Hugo
Image
Music expresses that which cannot be put into words.
Victor Hugo
Image
True or false, that which is said of men often occupies as important a place in their lives, and above all in their destinies, as that which they do.
Victor Hugo
Image
Every body drags its shadow, and every mind its doubt.
Victor Hugo
