Nothing is more true, more real, than the primeval magnetic disturbances that two souls may communicate to one another, through the tiny sparks of a moment's glance.
Victor Hugo
Image
It is an unpleasant thing to go to bed without supper, it is a still less pleasant thing not to sup and not to know where one is to sleep.
Victor Hugo
Image
To sum up all, let it be known that science and religion are two identical words. The learned do not suspect this, no more do the religious. These two words express the two sides of the same fact, which is the infinite. Religion-Science, this is the future of the human mind.
Victor Hugo
Image
Conscience is God present in man.
Victor Hugo
Image

Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
Image
The mind's eye can nowhere find anything more dazzling or more dark than in man it can fix itself upon nothing which is more awful, more complex, more mysterious, or more infinite. There is one spectacle grander than the sea, that is the sky there is one spectacle grander than the sky, that is the interior of the soul.
Victor Hugo
Image
God in his harmony has equal ends For cedar that resists and reed that bends For good it is a woman sometimes rules, Holds in her hand the power, and manners, schools, And laws, and mind succeeding master proud, With gentle voice and smiles she leads the crowd, The somber human troop.
Victor Hugo
Image
The miserable's name is Man he is agonizing in all climes, and he is groaning in all languages.
Victor Hugo
Image
It is the end. But of what? The end of France? No. The end of kings? Yes.
Victor Hugo
Image
The world of sleep has an existence of its own.
Victor Hugo
Image
This child whom we Love, Brings daylight Into our soul.

Every bad institution of this world ends by suicide.
Victor Hugo

Diamonds are found only in the dark places of the earth, truths are found only in the depths of thought.

I'd rather be hissed at for a good verse, than applauded for a bad one.
