Image
M. Myriel had to undergo the fate of every newcomer in a little town, where there are many mouths which talk, and very few heads which think.
Victor Hugo
Image
Should we continue to look upwards? Is the light we can see in the sky one of those which will presently be extinguished? The ideal is terrifying to behold... brilliant but threatened on all sides by the dark forces that surround it: nevertheless, no more in danger than a star in the jaws of the clouds.
Victor Hugo
Image
Let us fear the worst, but work with faith the best will always take care of itself.
Victor Hugo
Image
No man is more unhappy than the one who is never in adversity the greatest affliction of life is never to be afflicted.
Victor Hugo
Image
There are many lovely women, but no perfect ones.
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.

I am a soul. I know well that what I shall render up to the grave is not myself. That which is myself will go elsewhere. Earth, thou art not my abyss!
Victor Hugo
Image
Our acts make or mar us, we are the children of our own deeds.
Victor Hugo
Image
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
Image
. . .where there is no more hope, song remains.
Victor Hugo
Image
She worked in order to live, and presently fell in love, also in order to live, for the heart, too, has its hunger.
Victor Hugo
Image
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
Image
For true poetry, complete poetry, consists in the harmony of contraries. Hence, it is time to say aloud--and it is here above allthat exceptions prove the rule--that everything that exists in nature exists in art.
Victor Hugo
Image
For dogs we kings should have lions, and for cats, tigers. The great benefits a crown.
Victor Hugo
Image
There are many tongues to talk, and but few heads to think.
Victor Hugo
Image
Crime is redeemed by remorse, but not by a blow of the axe or slipknot. Blood has to be washed by tears but not by blood.
Victor Hugo
Image
Ideas can no more flow backward than can a river.
Victor Hugo
Image
Slaves would be tyrants were the chance theirs.
