Art moves. Hence its civilizing power.
Victor Hugo
Image
He is the best gentleman that is the son of his own deserts, and not the degenerated heir of another's virtue.
Victor Hugo
Image
The memory of an absent person shines in the deepest recesses of the heart, shining the more brightly the more wholly its object has vanished: a light on the horizon of the despairing, darkened spirit a star gleaming in our inward night.
Victor Hugo
Image
Music is the vapor of art. It is to poetry what reverie is to thought, what fluid is to solid, what the ocean of clouds is to the ocean of waves.
Victor Hugo
Image
Forty is the old age of youth fifty the youth of old age.
Victor Hugo
Image
We would be ashamed of our best behavior if the people knew the motives of our behaving so.

Her soul trembled on her lips like a drop of dew on a flower.

What is history? An echo of the past in the future a reflex from the future on the past.
