More quotes by Victor Hugo
Years place at last a venerable crown upon a head.
Victor Hugo
What's our baggage? Only vows, Happiness, and all our care, And the flower that sweetly shows Nestling lightly in your hair.
Victor Hugo
Homer is one of the men of genius who solve that fine problem of art - the finest of all, perhaps - truly to depict humanity by the enlargement of man: that is, to generate the real in the ideal.
Victor Hugo
Despotism is a long crime.
Victor Hugo
If you are stone, be magnetic if a plant, be sensitive but if you are human be love.
Victor Hugo
Music is the vapor of art. It is to poetry what reverie is to thought, what fluid is to solid, what the ocean of clouds is to the ocean of waves.
Victor Hugo
The holy law of Jesus Christ governs our civilisation, but it does not yet permeate it.
Victor Hugo
There are no weeds, and no worthless men. There are only bad farmers.
Victor Hugo
Do not let it be your aim to be something, but to be someone.
Victor Hugo
...But listen, there will be more joy in heaven over the tears of a repentant sinner than over the white robes of a hundred just men.
Victor Hugo
The miserable's name is Man he is agonizing in all climes, and he is groaning in all languages.
Victor Hugo
He was fond of books, for they are cool and sure friends
Victor Hugo
Night and the day, when united, Bring forth the beautiful light.
Victor Hugo
A mother's arms are made of tenderness and children sleep soundly in them.
Victor Hugo
What I feel for you seems less of earth and more of a cloudless heaven.
Victor Hugo
Need is a low door which, when we must by stern necessity pass through, forces the greatest to bend down the most.
Victor Hugo
The tomb is not a blind alley: it is a thoroughfare. It closes on the twilight. It opens on the dawn.
Victor Hugo
These are dark radiances. They have no suspicion that they are to be pitied. Certainly they are so. He who does not weep does not see. They are to be admired and pitied, as one would both pity and admire a being at once night and day, without eyes beneath his lashes but with a star on his brow.
Victor Hugo
But alas, if I have not maintained my victory, it is God's fault for not making man and the devil of equal strength.
Victor Hugo
All roads are blocked to a philosophy which reduces everything to the word no. To no there is only one answer and that is yes. Nihilism has no substance. There is no such thing as nothingness, and zero does not exist. Everything is something. Nothing is nothing. Man lives more by affirmation than by bread.
Victor Hugo
