More quotes by Victor Hugo
Of all the things that God has made, the human heart is the one which sheds the most light, alas! and the most darkness.
Victor Hugo
One only needs to see a smile in a white crape bonnet in order to enter the palace of dreams.
Victor Hugo
A day will come when a cannon will be exhibited in museums, just as instruments of torture are now, and the people will be astonished that such a thing could have been.
Victor Hugo
Pain is as diverse as man. One suffers as one can.
Victor Hugo
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
When a woman is talking to you, listen to what she says with her eyes.
Victor Hugo
Knowledge is a weight added to conscience.
Victor Hugo
It is ourselves we have to fear. Prejudice is the real robber, and vice the real murderer.
Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
Love, thine is the future. Death, I use thee, but I hate thee. Citizens, there shall be in the future neither darkness nor thunderbolts neither ferocious ignorance nor blood for blood.
Victor Hugo
M. Mabeuf’s political opinion was a passionate fondness for plants, and a still greater one for books. He had, like everybody else, his termination in ist, without which nobody could have lived in those times, but he was neither a royalist, nor a Bonapartist, nor a chartist, nor an Orleanist, nor an anarchist he was an old-bookist.
Victor Hugo
It is often our best friends who throw us down.
Victor Hugo
A day will come when all nations on our continent will form a European brotherhood... A day will come when we shall see... the United States of America and the United States of Europe face to face, reaching out for each other across the seas.
Victor Hugo
A criminal remains a criminal whether he uses a convict's suit or a monarch's crown.
Victor Hugo
This child whom we Love, Brings daylight Into our soul.
Victor Hugo
But when ill indeed, Even dismissing the doctor don't always succeed.
Victor Hugo
Fashions have done more harm than revolutions.
Victor Hugo
To meditate is to labour to think is to act.
Victor Hugo
Nothing is more dangerous than discontinued labor it is habit lost. A habit easy to abandon, difficult to resume.
Victor Hugo
Nothing discernible to the eye of the spirit is more brilliant or obscure than man nothing is more formidable, complex, mysterious, and infinite. There is a prospect greater than the sea, and it is the sky there is a prospect greater than the sky, and it is the human soul.
Victor Hugo
