More quotes by Victor Hugo
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.
Victor Hugo
It was SHE. Whoever has loved knows all the radiant meaning contained in the three letters of this word ‘she.
Victor Hugo
To sum up all, let it be known that science and religion are two identical words. The learned do not suspect this, no more do the religious. These two words express the two sides of the same fact, which is the infinite. Religion-Science, this is the future of the human mind.
Victor Hugo
In my old age there is a coming into flower. My body wanes my mind waxes.
Victor Hugo
Human intelligence discovered a way of perpetuating itself, one not only more durable and more resistant than architecture, but also simpler and easier. Architecture was dethroned. The stone letters of Orpheus gave way to the lead letters of Gutenburg. The book will kill the edifice.
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
As for methods of prayer, all of them are good as long as they are sincere.
Victor Hugo
Despots play their part in the works of thinkers. Fettered words are terrible words. The writer doubles and trebles the power of his writing when a ruler imposes silence on the people. Something emerges from that enforced silence, a mysterious fullness which filters through and becomes steely in the thought.
Victor Hugo
Let us leave to the brain what belongs to it, and agree that the work of the men of genius is of the superhuman, the offspring of man.
Victor Hugo
I have been loving you a little more every minute since this morning.
Victor Hugo
The greatest products of architecture are less the works of individuals than of society rather the offspring of a nation's effort, than the inspired flash of a man of genius.
Victor Hugo
My tastes are aristocratic, my actions democratic.
Victor Hugo
The human soul has still greater need of the ideal than of the real. It is by the real that we exist it is by the ideal that we live.
Victor Hugo
Nothing is so stifling as symmetry. Symmetry is boredom, the quintessence of mourning. Despair yawns. There is something more terrible than a hell of suffering - a hell of boredom.
Victor Hugo
Toleration is the best religion.
Victor Hugo
A stout heart may be ruined in fortune but not in spirit.
Victor Hugo
M. Myriel had to undergo the fate of every newcomer in a little town, where there are many mouths which talk, and very few heads which think.
Victor Hugo
But alas, if I have not maintained my victory, it is God's fault for not making man and the devil of equal strength.
Victor Hugo
Never laugh at those who suffer suffer sometimes those who laugh.
Victor Hugo
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
