Image
Often when we think we are knotting one thread, we are tying quite another.
Victor Hugo
Image
War can only be qualified by its object, and there is neither foreign war nor civil war, there is only just or unjust war.
Victor Hugo
Image
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
Image
The spirit of God, like the sun, always gives all its light at once. The spirit of man resembles the pale moon, which has its phases, its absences and its returns, its lucidity and its spots, its fullness and its disappearance, which borrows all its light from the rays of the sun, and which still dares to intercept them on occasion.
Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo

To err is human. To loaf is Parisian.
Victor Hugo
Image
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
Image
Great griefs exhaust. They discourage us with life. The man into whom they enter feels something taken from him. In youth, their visit is sad later on, it is ominous.
Victor Hugo
Image
Human society, the world, and the whole of mankind is to be found in the alphabet.
Victor Hugo
Image
One cannot resist an idea whose time has come.
Victor Hugo
Image
Table talk and Lovers' talk equally elude the grasp Lovers' talk is clouds, table talk is smoke.
Victor Hugo
Image
Thought is the work of the intellect, reverie is its self-indulgence. To substitute day-dreaming for thought is to confuse a poison with a source of nourishment.
Victor Hugo
Image
Amnesty is as good for those who give it as for those who receive it. It has the admirable quality of bestowing mercy on both sides.
Victor Hugo
Image
It is often necessary to know how to obey a woman in order sometimes to have the right to command her.
Victor Hugo
Image
Great blunders are often made, like large ropes, of a multitude of fibres.
Victor Hugo
Image
He who is not capable of enduring poverty is not capable of being free.
Victor Hugo
Image
For, to make deserts, God, who rules mankind, Begins with kings, and ends the work by wind.
