Victor Hugo
Love is the salutation of the angel to the stars
Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
To divinise is human, to humanise is divine.
Victor Hugo
Our life dreams the Utopia. Our death achieves the Ideal.
Victor Hugo
If nobody loved, the sun would go out.
Victor Hugo
The wind of revolutions is not tractable.
Victor Hugo
We say and exclaim within ourselves without breaking silence, in a tumult where everything speaks except our mouths. The realities of the soul are none the less real for being invisible and impalpable.
Victor Hugo
The clouds, - the only birds that never sleep.
Victor Hugo
Mankind is not a circle with a single center but an ellipse with two focal points of which facts are one and ideas the other.
Victor Hugo
Conscience is God present in man.
Victor Hugo
