If the infinite had no me, then me would be its limit. It would not be the infinite, therefore it would not be.

The smaller it is the heart, more hatred houses.
Victor Hugo
Image
Everything being a constant carnival, there is no carnival left.
Victor Hugo
Image
Philosophy is the microscope of thought.
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
A joyous little creature, so beautiful, It was as if a gate of Heaven opened as she came in.
Victor Hugo
Image
Why worry about what threatens our heads or purses? Let us think instead of what threatens our souls.
Victor Hugo
Image
Idleness, pleasure, what abysses! To do nothing is a dreary course to take, be sure of it. To live idle upon the substance of society! To be useless, that is to say, noxious! This leads straight to the lowest depth of misery.
Victor Hugo
Image
The cruel of heart have their own black happiness.
Victor Hugo
Image
The ode lives upon the ideal, the epic upon the grandiose, the drama upon the real.
Victor Hugo
Image
Who then can calculate the path of the molecule? how do we know that the creations of worlds are not determined by the fall of grains of sand?
Victor Hugo
Image
Nations, like stars, are entitled to eclipse. All is well, provided the light returns and the eclipse does not become endless night. Dawn and resurrection are synonymous. The reappearance of the light is the same as the survival of the soul.
Victor Hugo
Image
The truth of an upright man must be accepted on his own terms. Moreover, since natures vary, we must agree that all the beauties of human excellence may be fostered by faiths that we do not share.
Victor Hugo
Image
Human society, the world, and the whole of mankind is to be found in the alphabet.
Victor Hugo
Image
No one ever keeps a secret so well as a child.
Victor Hugo
Image
Dry happiness is like dry bread. We eat, but we do not dine. I wish for the superfluous, for the useless, for the extravagant, for the too much, for that which is not good for anything.
Victor Hugo
Image
It is the essence of truth that it is never excessive. Why should it exaggerate? There is that which should be destroyed and that which should be simply illuminated and studied. How great is the force of benevolent and searching examination! We must not resort to the flame where only light is required.
Victor Hugo
Image
The brutalities of progress are called revolutions. When they are over we realize this: that the human race has been roughly handled, but that it has advanced.
Victor Hugo
Image
Those who always pray are necessary to those who never pray.
Victor Hugo
Image
Many great actions are committed in small struggles.
Victor Hugo
Image
There is no vacuum in the human heart. Certain demolitions take place, and it is well that they do, but on condition that they are followed by reconstructions.
