Victor Hugo
Image
A sewer is a cynic. It tells All.
Victor Hugo
Image
To die for lack of love is horrible. The asphyxia of the soul.
Victor Hugo
Image
Philosophy should be an energy it should find its aim and its effect in the amelioration of mankind.
Victor Hugo
Image
Foppery is the egotism of clothes.
Victor Hugo
Image
Men are still men. The despot's wickedness Comes of ill teaching, and of power's excess,-- Comes of the purple he from childhood wears, Slaves would be tyrants if the chance were theirs.
Victor Hugo
Image
The power of a glance has been so much abused in love stories, that it has come to be disbelieved in. Few people dare now to say that two beings have fallen in love because they have looked at each other. Yet it is in this way that love begins, and in this way only.
Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo
Image
Often when we think we are knotting one thread, we are tying quite another.

In the domain of art there is no light without heat.
Victor Hugo
Image
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
Image
Everything speaks: the flowing airstream and the sailing halycon, the blade of grass, the flower, the bud, the element did you imagine the universe to be otherwise?
Victor Hugo
Image
A bird sings, a child prattles, but it is the same hymn hymn indistinct, inarticulate, but full of profound meaning.
Victor Hugo
Image
If suffer we must, let's suffer on the heights.
Victor Hugo
Image
Revery, which is thought in its nebulous state, borders closely upon the land of sleep, by which it is bounded as by a natural frontier.
Victor Hugo
Image
Gavroche had fallen only to rise again he sat up, a long stream of blood rolled down his face, he raised both arms in air, looked in the direction whence the shot came, and began to sing.
