More quotes by Victor Hugo
When God desires to destroy a thing, he entrusts its destruction to the thing itself. Every bad institution of this world ends by suicide.
Victor Hugo
A man is not idle because he is absorbed in thought. There is a visible labor and there is an invisible labor.
Victor Hugo
The cruel of heart have their own black happiness.
Victor Hugo
It is only barbarous nations who have a sudden growth after a victory
Victor Hugo
Let us study things that are no more. It is necessary to understand them, if only to avoid them.
Victor Hugo
Teach the ignorant as much as you can society is culpable in not providing a free education for all and it must answer for the night which it produces. If the soul is left in darkness sins will be committed. The guilty one is not he who commits the sin, but he who causes the darkness.
Victor Hugo
It is grievous for a man to leave behind him a shadow in his own shape.
Victor Hugo
One only needs to see a smile in a white crape bonnet in order to enter the palace of dreams.
Victor Hugo
I should hope so, Laigle replied, for my coat and I live comfortably together. It has assumed all my wrinkles, does not hurt me anywhere, has moulded itself on my deformities, and is complacent to all my movements, and 1 only feel its presence because it keeps me warm.
Victor Hugo
During a wise man's whole life, his destiny holds his philosophy in a state of siege.
Victor Hugo
There is will in the thought, there is none in the dream. The dream, which is completely spontaneous, takes and keeps, even in the gigantic and the ideal, the form of our mind. Nothing springs more directly and more sincerely from the very bottom of our souls than our unreflected and indefinite aspirations towards the splendours of destiny.
Victor Hugo
If a man has his throat cut in Paris, it's a murder. If 50,000 people are murdered in the east, it is a question.
Victor Hugo
You who suffer because you love, love still more. To die of love, is to live by it.
Victor Hugo
The wise man is he who knows when and how to stop
Victor Hugo
As a means of contrast with the sublime, the grotesque is, in our view, the richest source that nature can offer.
Victor Hugo
Gavroche had fallen only to rise again he sat up, a long stream of blood rolled down his face, he raised both arms in air, looked in the direction whence the shot came, and began to sing.
Victor Hugo
A bit of mould is a pleiad of flowers a nebula is an ant-hill of stars.
Victor Hugo
He who despairs is wrong.
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
Sublime upon sublime scarcely presents a contrast, and we need a little rest from everything, even the beautiful.
Victor Hugo
