Image
I believe, sir, in all the progress. Air navigation is the result of the oceanic navigation: from water the human has to pass in the air. Everywhere where creation will be breathable to him, the human will penetrate into the creation. Our only limit is life.
Victor Hugo

Toleration is the best religion.
Victor Hugo
Image
You have enemies? Why, it is the story of every man who has done a great deed or created a new idea. It is the cloud which thunders around everything that shines. Fame must have enemies, as light must have gnats. Do no bother yourself about it disdain. Keep your mind serene as you keep your life clear.
Victor Hugo

In the domain of art there is no light without heat.
Victor Hugo
Image
The sunshine was delightful, the foliage gently astir, more from the activity of birds than from the breeze. One gallant little bird, doubtless lovelorn, was singing his heart out at the top of a tall tree.
Victor Hugo
Image
They say love is blindness of heart I say not to love is blindness.
Victor Hugo
Image
Fame must have enemies, as light must have gnats.
Victor Hugo
Image
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
Image
At least you are mine! Soon – in a few months, perhaps, my angel will sleep in my arms, will awaken in my arms, will live there. All your thought at all moments, all your looks will be for me all my thought, all my moments, all my looks will be for you!
Victor Hugo
Image
There are souls which, crab-like, crawl continually toward darkness, going back in life rather than advancing in it, using what experience they have to increase their deformity, growing worse without ceasing, and becoming steeped more and more thoroughly in an intensifying wickedness.
