Victor Hugo
Image
Civilization survives on the constant discovery of amity and an equal supply of damnation.
Victor Hugo
Image
A translation in verse . . . seems to me something absurd, impossible.
Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
Image
The soul has illusions as the bird has wings: it is supported by them.
Victor Hugo
Image
O darkness, the sky is a gloomy precinct Whose door you close, and whose key the soul owns And night divides itself in half, being diabolical and holy, Between Ilis, the black angel, and Christ, the starry Human Being.
Victor Hugo
Image
Word which the finger of God has written on the brow of every man — hope!
Victor Hugo
Image
A strange thing has happened, do you know? I am in darkness. There is a person who, departing, took away the sun.
Victor Hugo
Image
If a writer wrote merely for his time, I would have to break my pen and throw it away.
Victor Hugo
Image
These two beings, who had loved each other so exclusively, and with so touching a love, and who had lived so long for each other, were now suffering beside one another and through one another without speaking of it, without harsh feeling, and smiling all the while.
Victor Hugo
Image
Love is like a tree: it grows by itself, roots itself deeply in our being and continues to flourish over a heart in ruin. The inexplicable fact is that the blinder it is, the more tenacious it is. It is never stronger than when it is completely unreasonable.
Victor Hugo
Image
Brothers, he who dies here dies in the radiance of the future, and we are entering a tomb all flooded with the dawn.
