More quotes by Victor Hugo

Image
We shall look on crime as a disease, and its physicians shall displace the judges, its hospitals displace the Galleys. Liberty and health shall be alike. We shall pour balm and oil where we formerly applied iron and fire evil will be treated in charity, instead of in anger. This change will be simple and sublime.
Victor Hugo
Image
Nothing is more imminent than the impossible . . . what we must always foresee is the unforeseen.
Victor Hugo
Image
Go out in the world and work like money doesn't matter, sing as if no one is listening, love as if you have never been hurt, and dance as if no one is watching.

Dry happiness is like dry bread. We eat, but we do not dine. I wish for the superfluous, for the useless, for the extravagant, for the too much, for that which is not good for anything.
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
Without vanity, without coquetry, without curiosity, in a word, without the fall, woman would not be woman. Much of her grace is in her frailty.
Victor Hugo
Image
Oh! Everything I loved!
Victor Hugo
Image
Music expresses that which cannot be put into words.
Victor Hugo
Image
You who suffer because you love, love still more. To die of love, is to live by it.
Victor Hugo
Image
For sight is woman-like and shuns the old.
Victor Hugo
Image
Nothing is more true, more real, than the primeval magnetic disturbances that two souls may communicate to one another, through the tiny sparks of a moment's glance.
Victor Hugo
Image
Toleration is the best religion.
Victor Hugo
Image
One cannot be a good historian of the outward, visible world without giving some thought to the hidden, private life of ordinary people and on the other hand one cannot be a good historian of this inner life without taking into account outward events where these are relevant.
Victor Hugo
Image
Greater than the tread of mighty armies is an idea whose time has come.
