The beautiful has but one type, the ugly has a thousand.
Victor Hugo
Image
I write with one hand, but I fight with both.
Victor Hugo
Image
Oh! Everything I loved!
Victor Hugo
Image
Strange to say, the luminous world is the invisible world the luminous world is that which we do not see. Our eyes of flesh see only night.
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
Anger may be foolish and absurd, and one may be wrongly irritated, but a man never feels outraged unless in some respect he is fundamentally right.
Victor Hugo
Image
Dear God! how beauty varies in nature and art. In a woman the flesh must be like marble in a statue the marble must be like flesh.
Victor Hugo
Image
Enthusiasm is the fever of reason.
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
Image
Don't educate your children to be rich. Educate them to be happy, so they know the value of things, not the price.
Victor Hugo
Image
In this world, which is so plainly the antechamber of another, there are no happy men. The true division of humanity is between those who live in light and those who live in darkness. Our aim must be to diminish the number of the latter and increase the number of the former. That is why we demand education and knowledge.
Victor Hugo
Image

Nothing awakens reminiscence like an aroma.
Victor Hugo
Image
It is the peculiarity of grief to bring out the childish side of man.
Victor Hugo
Image
So a voice in the mountain is enough to let loose an avalanche. A word too much may be followed by a caving in. If the word had not been spoken, it would not have happened.
Victor Hugo
Image
Great blunders are often made, like large ropes, of a multitude of fibers. Take the cable thread by thread, take separately all the little determining motives, you break them one after another, and you say: that is all! Wind them and twist them together, they become an enormity.
Victor Hugo
Image
The quantity of civilization is measured by the quality of imagination.
Victor Hugo
Image
A war between Europeans is a civil war.
Victor Hugo
Image
He did not study God he was dazzled by him.
Victor Hugo
Image
Those who pray always are necessary to those who never pray. In our view, the whole question is in the amount of thought that is mingled with prayer.
Victor Hugo
