More quotes by 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
It is the peculiarity of grief to bring out the childish side of man.
Victor Hugo
There comes an hour when protest no longer suffices after philosophy there must be action the strong hand finishes what the idea has sketched.
Victor Hugo
The need of the immaterial is the most deeply rooted of all needs. One must have bread but before bread, one must have the ideal.
Victor Hugo
God has set his intentions in the flowers, in the dawn, in the spring, it is his will that we should love.
Victor Hugo
To die for lack of love is horrible. The asphyxia of the soul.
Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
At least you are mine! Soon – in a few months, perhaps, my angel will sleep in my arms, will awaken in my arms, will live there. All your thought at all moments, all your looks will be for me all my thought, all my moments, all my looks will be for you!
Victor Hugo
A smile is the same as sunshine it banishes winter from the human countenance.
Victor Hugo
Emergencies have always been necessary to progress. It was darkness which produced the lamp. It was fog that produced the compass. It was hunger that drove us to exploration. And it took a depression to teach us the real value of a job.
Victor Hugo
I put a Phrygian cap on the old dictionary.
Victor Hugo
Oh! Everything I loved!
Victor Hugo
Dear God! how beauty varies in nature and art. In a woman the flesh must be like marble in a statue the marble must be like flesh.
Victor Hugo
A fall from such a height is rarely straight downwards.
Victor Hugo
Love is a fault so be it.
Victor Hugo
