Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
M. Mabeuf’s political opinion was a passionate fondness for plants, and a still greater one for books. He had, like everybody else, his termination in ist, without which nobody could have lived in those times, but he was neither a royalist, nor a Bonapartist, nor a chartist, nor an Orleanist, nor an anarchist he was an old-bookist.
Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
Be as a bird perched on a frail branch that she feels bending beneath her, still she sings away all the same, knowing she has wings.
Victor Hugo
The mother...swinging the children by pulling on a length of string, while at the same time she kept and eye on them with that protective watchfulness, half animal, half angelic, which is the quality of motherhood.
Victor Hugo
Toleration is the best religion.
Victor Hugo
It is the essence of truth that it is never excessive.... We must not resort to the flame where only light is required.
Victor Hugo
You who suffer because you love, love still more. To die of love, is to live by it.
Victor Hugo
To learn to read is to light a fire.
Victor Hugo
Man lives more by affirmation than by bread.
Victor Hugo
Heaven, on occasion, half opens its arms to us and that is the great moment.
