He who opens a school door, closes a prison.
Victor Hugo
Image
As with stomachs, we should pity minds that do not eat.
Victor Hugo
Image
I didn't believe it could be so monstrous. It's wrong to be so absorbed in divine law as not to perceive human law. Death belongs to God alone. By what right do men tough that unknown thing?
Victor Hugo
Image
There is in every village a torch - the teacher and an extinguisher - the priest.
Victor Hugo
Image
Die, very good, but do not make others die. Suicides like the one which is about to take place here are sublime, but suicide is restricted, and does not allow of extension and so soon as it affects your neighbors, suicide becomes murder.
Victor Hugo
Image
Concision in style, precision in thought, decision in life.

People do not lack strength they lack will.

We are on the side of religion as opposed to religions, and we are among those who believe in the wretched inadequacy of sermons and the sublimity of prayer.
Victor Hugo
Image
At a certain depth of distress, the poor, in their stupor, groan no longer over evil, and are no longer thankful for good.
Victor Hugo
Image
What I feel for you seems less of earth and more of a cloudless heaven.
Victor Hugo
Image
Architecture has recorded the great ideas of the human race. Not only every religious symbol, but every human thought has its page in that vast book.
Victor Hugo
Image
Be as a bird perched on a frail branch that she feels bending beneath her, still she sings away all the same, knowing she has wings.
Victor Hugo
Image
Reaction - a boat which is going against the current but which does not prevent the river from flowing on.
Victor Hugo
Image
Love resembles a tree: it bends under its own weight, deeply rooted in our being and sometimes turns green in the ruins of a heart.
Victor Hugo
Image
The mountains, the forest, and the sea, render men savage they develop the fierce, but yet do not destroy the human.
Victor Hugo
Image
He, who every morning plans the transactions of the day, and follows that plan, carries a thread that will guide him through a labyrinth of the most busy life.
Victor Hugo
Image
He never went out without a book under his arm, and he often came back with two.
Victor Hugo
Image
When a man understands the art of seeing, he can trace the spirit of an age and the features of a king even in the knocker on a door.
