Image
And the dream that our mind had sketched in haste Shall others continue, but never complete. For none upon earth can achieve his scheme The best as the worst are futile here: We wake at the self-same point of the dream, All is here begun, and finished elsewhere.
Victor Hugo
Image

Victor Hugo
Image
It is the essence of truth that it is never excessive. Why should it exaggerate? There is that which should be destroyed and that which should be simply illuminated and studied. How great is the force of benevolent and searching examination! We must not resort to the flame where only light is required.
Victor Hugo
Image

Victor Hugo
Image
Equality does not mean that all plants must grow to the same height - a society of tall grass and dwarf trees, a jostle of conflicting jealousies. It means, in civic terms, an equal outlet for all talents in political terms, that all votes will carry the same weight and in religious terms that all beliefs will enjoy equal rights.
Victor Hugo
Image
Take all reasonable advantage of that which the present may offer you. It is the only time which is ours. Yesterday is buried forever, and to-morrow we may never see.
Victor Hugo
Image
She worked in order to live, and presently fell in love, also in order to live, for the heart, too, has its hunger.
Victor Hugo
Image
God knows better than we do what we need.
Victor Hugo
Image
For dogs we kings should have lions, and for cats, tigers. The great benefits a crown.
Victor Hugo
Image
One resists the invasion of armies one does not resist the invasion of ideas.
Victor Hugo
Image
Be like the bird who, pausing in her flight awhile on boughs too slight, feels them give way beneath her, and yet sings, knowing she hath wings.
