Victor Hugo

A cannonball travels only two thousand miles an hour light travels two hundred thousand miles a second. Such is the superiority of Jesus Christ over Napoleon.
Victor Hugo
Image

God was bored by him.
Victor Hugo
Image
Try as you will, you cannot annihilate that eternal relic of the human heart, love.
Victor Hugo
Image
On this point, the priest and the philosopher agree: We must die.
Victor Hugo
Image
For true poetry, complete poetry, consists in the harmony of contraries. Hence, it is time to say aloud--and it is here above allthat exceptions prove the rule--that everything that exists in nature exists in art.
Victor Hugo
Image
There are moments when a rope's end, a pole, the branch of the tree, is life itself, and it is a frightful thing to see a living being lose his hold upon it, and fall like a ripe fruit.
