More quotes by Victor Hugo
Caution is the eldest child of wisdom.
Victor Hugo
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
Strange to say, the luminous world is the invisible world the luminous world is that which we do not see. Our eyes of flesh see only night.
Victor Hugo
No man is more unhappy than the one who is never in adversity the greatest affliction of life is never to be afflicted.
Victor Hugo
If you are leaving that sorrowful place with hate and anger against men, you are worthy of compassion if you leave it with good will, gentleness and peace, you are better than any of us.
Victor Hugo
There is a sacred horror about everything grand. It is easy to admire mediocrity and hills but whatever is too lofty, a genius as well as a mountain, an assembly as well as a masterpiece, seen too near, is appalling.
Victor Hugo
Strong and rare natures are thus created misery, almost always a stepmother, is sometimes a mother privation gives birth to power of soul and mind distress is the nurse of self-respect misfortune is a good breast for great souls.
Victor Hugo
It is most pleasant to commit a just action which is disagreeable to someone whom one does not like.
Victor Hugo
Every bird which flies has the thread of the infinite in its claw. Germination includes the hatching of a meteor and the tap of a swallow's bill breaking the egg, and it leads forward the birth of an earth-worm and the advent of Socrates.
Victor Hugo
Wisdom is the health of the soul.
Victor Hugo
I think, therefore I doubt.
Victor Hugo
Many great actions are committed in small struggles.
Victor Hugo
Wherever the Turkish hoof trods, no grass grows.
Victor Hugo
You who suffer because you love, love still more. To die of love, is to live by it.
Victor Hugo
There is always more misery among the lower classes than there is humanity in the higher.
Victor Hugo
where would the shout of love begin, if not from the summit of sacrifice?
Victor Hugo
Philosophy is the microscope of thought. Everything desires to flee from it, but nothing escapes it.
Victor Hugo
The peculiarity of sunrise is to make us laugh at all our terrors of the night, and our laugh is always proportioned to the fear we have had.
Victor Hugo
The aim of art is almost divine: to bring to life again if it is writing history, to create if it is writing poetry.
Victor Hugo
To think of shadows is a serious thing.
Victor Hugo
