Image
She might have melted a heart of stone, but nothing can melt a heart of wood.
Victor Hugo
Image
The man who does not know other languages, unless he is a man of genius, necessarily has deficiencies in his ideas.
Victor Hugo
Image
When love has fused and mingled two beings in a sacred and angelic unity, the secret of life has been discovered so far as they are concerned they are no longer anything more than the two boundaries of the same destiny they are no longer anything but the two wings of the same spirit. Love, soar.
Victor Hugo
Image
Let us say it now: to be blind and to be loved, is indeed, upon this earth where nothing is complete, one of the most strangely exquisite forms of happiness.
Victor Hugo
Image
Success is a very hideous thing. Its false resemblance to merit deceives men.
Victor Hugo
Image
The wicked envy and hate it is their way of admiring.
Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
Image
Let us sacrifice one day to gain perhaps a whole life.
Victor Hugo
Image
I am in the night. There is a being who has gone away and carried the heavens with her. Oh! to be laid side by side in the same tomb, hand clasped in hand, and from time to time, in the darkness, to caress a finger gently, that would suffice for my eternity.
Victor Hugo
Image
Love is like a tree: it grows by itself, roots itself deeply in our being and continues to flourish over a heart in ruin. The inexplicable fact is that the blinder it is, the more tenacious it is. It is never stronger than when it is completely unreasonable.
Victor Hugo
Image
Life is the flower for which love is the honey.
Victor Hugo
Image
It is ourselves we have to fear. Prejudice is the real robber, and vice the real murderer.
Victor Hugo
Image
Our life dreams the Utopia. Our death achieves the Ideal.
Victor Hugo
Image
Thought is the labor of the intellect, reverie is its pleasure.
Victor Hugo
Image
Jean Prouvaire was timid only in repose. Once excited, he burst forth, a sort of mirth accentuated his enthusiasm, and he was at once both laughing and lyric.
Victor Hugo
Image
Ideas can no more flow backward than can a river.
Victor Hugo
Image
Music expresses that which cannot be put into words.
Victor Hugo
Image
The soul in the darkness sins, but the real sinner is he who caused the darkness.
Victor Hugo
Image
Look not at the face, young girl, look at the heart. The heart of a handsome young man is often deformed. There are hearts in which love does not keep. Young girl, the pine is not beautiful it is not beautiful like the poplar, but it keeps its foliage in winter.
