More quotes by Victor Hugo
Art needs no spur beyond itself.
Victor Hugo
The ideal and the beautiful are identical the ideal corresponds to the idea, and beauty to form hence idea and substance are cognate.
Victor Hugo
Perseverance, secret of all triumphs.
Victor Hugo
The reduction of the universe to the compass of a single being, and the extension of a single being until it reaches God - that is love. Love is the salute of the angels to the stars. How sad is the heart when rendered sad by love! How great is the void created by the absence of the being who alone fills the world.
Victor Hugo
If people did not love one another, I really don't see what use there would be in having any spring.
Victor Hugo
Peace is the virtue of civilization. War is its crime.
Victor Hugo
When grace is joined with wrinkles, it is adorable. There is an unspeakable dawn in happy old age.

Victor Hugo
Curiosity is gluttony. To see is to devour.
Victor Hugo
God whose gifts in gracious flood Unto all who seek are sent, Only asks you to be good And is content.
Victor Hugo
A day will come when there will be no battlefields, but markets opening to commerce and minds opening to ideas.
Victor Hugo
Oh! Everything I loved!
Victor Hugo
I believe, sir, in all the progress. Air navigation is the result of the oceanic navigation: from water the human has to pass in the air. Everywhere where creation will be breathable to him, the human will penetrate into the creation. Our only limit is life.
Victor Hugo
The owl goes not into the nest of the lark.
Victor Hugo
An intelligent hell would be better than a stupid paradise.
Victor Hugo
Wide horizons lead the soul to broad ideas circumscribed horizons engender narrow ideas this sometimes condemns great hearts to become small minded.Broad ideas hated by narrow ideas,-this is the very struggle of progress.
Victor Hugo
