More quotes by 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
Prayer is an august avowal of ignorance.
Victor Hugo
Image
Superstition, bigotry and prejudice, ghosts though they are, cling tenaciously to life they are shades armed with tooth and claw. They must be grappled with unceasingly, for it is a fateful part of human destiny that it is condemned to wage perpetual war against ghosts. A shade is not easily taken by the throat and destroyed.
Victor Hugo
Image
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
Image
How did it happen that their lips came together? How does it happen that birds sing, that snow melts, that the rose unfolds, that the dawn whitens behind the stark shapes of trees on the quivering summit of the hill? A kiss, and all was said.
Victor Hugo
Image
I'd like a drink. I desire to forget life. Life is a hideous invention by somebody I don't know. It doesn't last, and it's good for nothing. You break your neck simply living.
Victor Hugo

The rich's paradise was created by the poor's hell.
Victor Hugo

God has set his intentions in the flowers, in the dawn, in the spring, it is his will that we should love.
Victor Hugo
Image
The word is the Verb, and the Verb is God.
Victor Hugo

Genius: the superhuman in man.
Victor Hugo
Image
Idleness is a mother. She has a son, robbery, and a daughter, hunger.
Victor Hugo
Image
To rise from error to truth is rare and beautiful.
Victor Hugo
Image
Where no plan is laid, where the disposal of time is surrendered merely to the chance of incident, chaos will soon reign.
Victor Hugo
Image
Love is the salutation of the angel to the stars
Victor Hugo
Image
The spirit of God, like the sun, always gives all its light at once. The spirit of man resembles the pale moon, which has its phases, its absences and its returns, its lucidity and its spots, its fullness and its disappearance, which borrows all its light from the rays of the sun, and which still dares to intercept them on occasion.
Victor Hugo
Image
Mothers arms are made of tenderness, And sweet sleep blesses the child who lies therein.
Victor Hugo
Image
A few feet under the ground reigns so profound a silence, and yet so much tumult on the surface!
Victor Hugo
Image
Good actions are the invisible hinges on the doors of heaven.
