I think, therefore I doubt.
Victor Hugo
Image
Excitement is not enjoyment: in calmness lies true pleasure. The most precious wines are sipped, not bolted at a swallow.
Victor Hugo
Image
There is in every village a torch - the teacher and an extinguisher - the priest.
Victor Hugo

Nothing awakens reminiscence like an aroma.
Victor Hugo
Image
The greatest blunders, like the thickest ropes, are often compounded of a multitude of strands. Take the rope apart, separate it into the small threads that compose it, and you can break them one by one. You think, That is all there was! But twist them all together and you have something tremendous.

Victor Hugo
Image

Victor Hugo
Image
A criminal remains a criminal whether he uses a convict's suit or a monarch's crown.
Victor Hugo
Image
History has its truth, and so has legend. Legendary truth is of another nature than historical truth. Legendary truth is invention whose result is reality. Furthermore, history and legend have the same goal to depict eternal man beneath momentary man.
Victor Hugo
Image
I repeat, whether we be Italians or Frenchmen, misery concerns us all.
Victor Hugo
Image
The wise man is he who knows when and how to stop
Victor Hugo
Image
Marius and Cosette were in the dark in regard to each other. They did not speak, they did not bow, they were not acquainted they saw each other and, like the stars in the sky separated by millions of leagues, they lived by gazing upon each other.
Victor Hugo
Image
When two mouths, made sacred by love, draw near to each other to create, it is impossible, that above that ineffable kiss there should not be a thrill in the immense mystery of the stars.
Victor Hugo
Image
When grace combines with wrinkles, it is admirable. There is an indescribable light of dawn about intensely happy old age. . . . The young person is handsome, but the old, superb.
