More quotes by Victor Hugo
Idleness, pleasure, what abysses! To do nothing is a dreary course to take, be sure of it. To live idle upon the substance of society! To be useless, that is to say, noxious! This leads straight to the lowest depth of misery.
Victor Hugo
What's our baggage? Only vows, Happiness, and all our care, And the flower that sweetly shows Nestling lightly in your hair.
Victor Hugo
To meditate is to labour to think is to act.
Victor Hugo
Every bird which flies has the thread of the infinite in its claw. Germination includes the hatching of a meteor and the tap of a swallow's bill breaking the egg, and it leads forward the birth of an earth-worm and the advent of Socrates.
Victor Hugo
Is it not when the fall is the lowest that charity ought to be the greatest?
Victor Hugo
The animal is ignorant of the fact that he knows. The man is aware of the fact that he is ignorant.
Victor Hugo
The hatred of luxury is not an intelligent hatred. It implies a hatred of arts.
Victor Hugo
Sire, you are looking at a plain man, and I am looking at a great man. Each of us may benefit.
Victor Hugo
The soul in the darkness sins, but the real sinner is he who caused the darkness.
Victor Hugo
Science says the first word on everything, and the last word on nothing.
Victor Hugo
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
Those who live are those who fight.
Victor Hugo
Success is an ugly thing. Men are deceived by its false resemblances to merit.... They confound the brilliance of the firmament with the star-shaped footprints of a duck in the mud.
Victor Hugo
Common sense is in spite of, not as the result of education.
Victor Hugo
When I speak to you about myself, I am speaking to you about yourself. How is it you don't see that?
Victor Hugo
Civil war.... What did the words mean? Was there any such thing as foreign war? Was not all warfare between men warfare between brothers?
Victor Hugo
Memory is a gulf that a word can move to its lowest depths.
Victor Hugo
Loving is half of believing.
Victor Hugo
The first symptom of true love in a man is timidity, in a young woman, boldness. This is surprising, and yet nothing is more simple. It is the two sexes tending to approach each other and assuming each the other's qualities.
Victor Hugo
We do not comprehend everything, but we insult nothing.
Victor Hugo
