Victor Hugo
Image
I am in the night. There is a being who has gone away and carried the heavens with her. Oh! to be laid side by side in the same tomb, hand clasped in hand, and from time to time, in the darkness, to caress a finger gently, that would suffice for my eternity.
Victor Hugo
Image

Victor Hugo
Image
...Though we chisel away as best we can at the mysterious block from which our life is made, the black vein of destiny continually reappears.
Victor Hugo
Image
I met in the street a very poor young man who was in love. His hat was old, his coat worn, his cloak was out at the elbows, the water passed through his shoes, - and the stars through his soul.
Victor Hugo
Image
Love each other dearly always. There is scarcely anything else in the world but that: to love one another.
Victor Hugo
Image
Ideas can no more flow backward than can a river.
Victor Hugo
Image
Curiosity is gluttony. To see is to devour.
Victor Hugo
Image
When a woman is talking to you, listen to what she says with her eyes.
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
He sought...to transform the grief which looks down into the grave by showing it the grief which looks up to the stars.
Victor Hugo
Image
You who suffer because you love, love still more. To die of love, is to live by it.
Victor Hugo
