Image
You say, Where goest Thou? I cannot tell, And still go on. But if the way be straight I cannot go amiss: before me lies Dawn and the day: the night behind me: that Suffices me: I break the bounds: I see, And nothing more believe and nothing less. My future is not one of my concerns.
Victor Hugo
Image
There is suffering in the light in excess it burns. Flame is hostile to the wing. To burn and yet to fly, this is the miracle of genius.
Victor Hugo
Image

Why worry about what threatens our heads or our purses? Let us think instead of what threatens our souls.
Victor Hugo

Nature is pitiless she never withdraws her flowers, her music, her fragrance, and her sunlight from before human cruelty or suffering.
Victor Hugo
Image
I am a soul. I know well that what I shall render up to the grave is not myself. That which is myself will go elsewhere. Earth, thou art not my abyss!
Victor Hugo
Image
You who suffer because you love, love still more. To die of love, is to live by it.
Victor Hugo

Art needs no spur beyond itself.
Victor Hugo
Image
Often when we think we are knotting one thread, we are tying quite another.
Victor Hugo
Image
But secondly you say 'society must exact vengeance, and society must punish'. Wrong on both counts. Vengeance comes from the individual and punishment from God.
Victor Hugo

There are things stronger than the strongest man.

Are you afraid of the good you might do?
Victor Hugo

When I speak to you about myself, I am speaking to you about yourself. How is it you don't see that?
