Quote

God in his harmony has equal ends For cedar that resists and reed that bends For good it is a woman sometimes rules, Holds in her hand the power, and manners, schools, And laws, and mind succeeding master proud, With gentle voice and smiles she leads the crowd, The somber human troop.

Love is the foolishness of men, and the wisdom of God.
Victor Hugo
Image
Life is the flower for which love is the honey.
Victor Hugo
Image
Without at all invalidating what we have just said, we believe that a perpetual remembrance of the tomb is proper for the living. On this point, the priest and the philosopher agree: We must die.
Victor Hugo

Love is the salutation of the angel to the stars
Victor Hugo
Image
A saint addicted to excessive self-abnegation is a dangerous associate he may infect you with poverty, and a stiffening of those joints which are needed for advancement-in a word, with more renunciation than you care for-and so you flee the contagion.
Victor Hugo
Image
What makes night within us may leave stars.
Victor Hugo
Image
Wonderful nature has a double meaning, which dazzles great minds and blinds uncultivated souls. When man is ignorant, when the desert is filled with visions, the darkness of solitude is added to the darkness of intelligence hence, in man, the possibilities of perdition
Victor Hugo
Image
Son, brother, father, lover, friend. There is room in the heart for all the affections, as there is room in heaven for all the stars.
Victor Hugo
Image
There is a material advancement we desire it. There is, also, a moral grandeur we hold fast to it.
Victor Hugo
Image
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
Image
You would have imagined her at one moment a maniac, at another a queen.
Victor Hugo
Image
To put everything in balance is good, to put everything in harmony is better.
Victor Hugo
Image
Every body drags its shadow, and every mind its doubt.
Victor Hugo
Image
Let us say it now: to be blind and to be loved, is indeed, upon this earth where nothing is complete, one of the most strangely exquisite forms of happiness.
Victor Hugo
Image
There shall be no slavery of the mind.
Victor Hugo
Image
Initiative is doing the right thing without being told.
Victor Hugo
Image
We are given up to those gods, those monsters, those giants, — our thoughts.
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.
Victor Hugo
Image
Homer is one of the men of genius who solve that fine problem of art - the finest of all, perhaps - truly to depict humanity by the enlargement of man: that is, to generate the real in the ideal.
Victor Hugo
Image
What dangers you run, O noble souls! Often, you give your heart, but we take only your body. Your heart is left to you and you look at it in the shadows and shudder.
