More quotes by Victor Hugo
When the heart is dry the eye is dry.
Victor Hugo
Jean Prouvaire was timid only in repose. Once excited, he burst forth, a sort of mirth accentuated his enthusiasm, and he was at once both laughing and lyric.
Victor Hugo
Solitude either develops the mental power, or renders men dull and vicious.
Victor Hugo
Emotion is always new and the word has always served therein lies the difficulty of expressing emotion.
Victor Hugo
If it were (Is it not) outrageous that society should treat with such rigid precision those of its members who were most poorly endowed in the distribution or wealth that chance had made, and who were, therefore, most worthy of indulgence.
Victor Hugo
Let us study things that are no more. It is necessary to understand them, if only to avoid them.
Victor Hugo
Don't educate your children to be rich. Educate them to be happy, so they know the value of things, not the price.
Victor Hugo
The earlier works of a man of genius are always preferred to the newer ones, in order to prove that he is going down instead of up.
Victor Hugo
Greater than the tread of mighty armies is an idea whose time has come.
Victor Hugo
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
People generally will soon understand that writers should be judged, not according to rules and species, which are contrary to nature and art, but according to the immutable principles of the art of composition, and the special laws of their individual temperaments.
Victor Hugo
God knows better than we do what we need.
Victor Hugo
As with stomachs, we should pity minds that do not eat.
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
The human soul has still greater need of the ideal than of the real. It is by the real that we exist it is by the ideal that we live.
Victor Hugo
Of all the things that God has made, the human heart is the one which sheds the most light, alas! and the most darkness.
Victor Hugo
The cruel of heart have their own black happiness.
Victor Hugo
But when ill indeed, Even dismissing the doctor don't always succeed.
Victor Hugo
Equality does not mean that all plants must grow to the same height - a society of tall grass and dwarf trees, a jostle of conflicting jealousies. It means, in civic terms, an equal outlet for all talents in political terms, that all votes will carry the same weight and in religious terms that all beliefs will enjoy equal rights.
Victor Hugo
I am for religion, against religions.
Victor Hugo
