Woe, alas, to those who have loved only bodies, forms, appearances! Death will rob them of everything. Try to love souls, you will find them again.
Victor Hugo
Image
We are all under sentence of death, but with a sort of indefinite reprieve.
Victor Hugo
Image
Wisdom is the health of the soul.
Victor Hugo
Image
We teachers make the road, others will make the journey.
Victor Hugo
Image
Fashions have done more harm than revolutions.
Victor Hugo
Image
If a man has his throat cut in Paris, it's a murder. If 50,000 people are murdered in the east, it is a question.
Victor Hugo
Image
All who suffer are full of hatred all who live drag a remorse: the dead alone have broken their chains.
Victor Hugo

All the forces in the world are not so powerful as an idea whose time has come.
Victor Hugo
Image
Hypocrisy is nothing, in fact, but a horrible hopefulness.

Popularity? It's glory's small change.
Victor Hugo
Image
One believes others will do what he will do to himself.
Victor Hugo
Image
To study in Paris is to be born in Paris!
Victor Hugo
Image
Son, brother, father, lover, friend. There is room in the heart for all the affections, as there is room in heaven for all the stars.
Victor Hugo
Image
A language does not become fixed. The human intellect is always on the march, or, if you prefer, in movement, and languages with it.
Victor Hugo
Image
If you look in the eyes of the young, you see flame. If you look in the eyes of the old, you see light.
Victor Hugo
Image
God knows better than we do what we need.
Victor Hugo
Image
Genius is rare because the means of becoming one have not been available
Victor Hugo
Image
God secludes Himself but the thinker listens at the door.
Victor Hugo
Image
The soul in the darkness sins, but the real sinner is he who caused the darkness.
Victor Hugo
