No man is more unhappy than the one who is never in adversity; the greatest affliction of life is never to be afflicted.

Victor Hugo 1217 quotes

Die, very good, but do not ma...

Die, very good, but do not make others die. Suicides like the one which is about to take place here are sublime, but suicide is restricted, and does not allow of extension; and so soon as it affects your neighbors, suicide becomes murder.

Victor Hugo 1217 quotes

Success is a very hideous thing. Its false resemblance to merit deceives men.

...there is a point when the unfortunate and the infamous are associated and confused in a word, a mortal word, les miserables

The wise man is he who knows when and how to stop

God made the water but men made the wine.

Nothing is really small; whoever is open to the deep penetration of nature knows this.

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.

But alas, if I have not maintained my victory, it is God's fault for not making man and the devil of equal strength.

Life is a flower of which love is honey.

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 1217 quotes

We are on the side of religion as opposed to religions, and we are among those who believe in the wretched inadequacy of sermons and the sublimity of prayer.

Victor Hugo 1217 quotes

There is a material advancement; we desire it. There is, also, a moral grandeur; we hold fast to it.

Victor Hugo 1217 quotes

We need those who pray constantly to compensate for those who do not pray at all.

Victor Hugo 1217 quotes

Not ill? No truly, I am young...

Not ill? No truly, I am young, healthful, and strong; the blood flows freely in my veins; my limbs obey my will; I am robust in mind and body, constituted for a long life. Yes, all this is true; and yet, nevertheless, I have an illness, a fatal illness,-an illness given by the hand of man!

...Man lives by affirmation even more than he does by bread.

Victor Hugo 1217 quotes

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 1217 quotes

In the relations of man with ...

In the relations of man with the animals, with the flowers, with all the objects of creation, there is a whole great ethic, scarcely perceived as yet, which will at length break through into the light, and which will be the corollary and the complement to human ethics.

Victor Hugo 1217 quotes

The mother...swinging the children by pulling on a length of string, while at the same time she kept and eye on them with that protective watchfulness, half animal, half angelic, which is the quality of motherhood.

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