More quotes by Victor Hugo
We should judge a man much more surely from what he dreams than from what he thinks.
Victor Hugo
Style is the substance of the subject called unceasingly to the surface.
Victor Hugo
The reduction of the universe to the compass of a single being, and the extension of a single being until it reaches God - that is love. Love is the salute of the angels to the stars. How sad is the heart when rendered sad by love! How great is the void created by the absence of the being who alone fills the world.
Victor Hugo
Take all reasonable advantage of that which the present may offer you. It is the only time which is ours. Yesterday is buried forever, and to-morrow we may never see.
Victor Hugo
The supreme happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved.
Victor Hugo
What is said about men often has as much influence upon their lives, and especially upon their destinies, as what they do.
Victor Hugo
Symmetry is tedious, and tedium is the very basis of mourning. Despair yawns.
Victor Hugo
The soul helps the body, and at certain moments raises it. It is the only bird that sustains its cage.
Victor Hugo
Primitive times are lyrical, ancient times epical, modern times dramatic. The ode sings of eternity, the epic imparts solemnity tohistory, the drama depicts life. The characteristic of the first poetry is ingeniousness, of the second, simplicity, of the third, truth.
Victor Hugo
Yes, the brutalities of progress are called revolutions
Victor Hugo
Dreaming is happiness. Waiting is life.
Victor Hugo
The wind of revolutions is not tractable.
Victor Hugo
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
A bird sings, a child prattles, but it is the same hymn hymn indistinct, inarticulate, but full of profound meaning.
Victor Hugo
Foppery is the egotism of clothes.
Victor Hugo
Freedom begins where it ends ignorance.
Victor Hugo
Each man should frame life so that at some future hour fact and his dreaming meet.
Victor Hugo
Genius is rare because the means of becoming one have not been available
Victor Hugo
I'd like a drink. I desire to forget life. Life is a hideous invention by somebody I don't know. It doesn't last, and it's good for nothing. You break your neck simply living.
Victor Hugo
A fall from such a height is rarely straight downwards.
Victor Hugo
