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 1217 quotes

We say that slavery has vanis...

We say that slavery has vanished from European civilization, but this is not true. Slavery still exists, but now it applies only to women and its name is prostitution.

The last resort of kings, the cannonball. The last resort of the people, the paving stone.

Victor Hugo 1217 quotes

Strange to say, the luminous world is the invisible world; the luminous world is that which we do not see. Our eyes of flesh see only night.

Victor Hugo 1217 quotes

Nations, like stars, are enti...

Nations, like stars, are entitled to eclipse. All is well, provided the light returns and the eclipse does not become endless night. Dawn and resurrection are synonymous. The reappearance of the light is the same as the survival of the soul.

Greater than the tread of mighty armies is an idea whose time has come.

Victor Hugo 1217 quotes

A man is not idle because he is absorbed in thought. There is a visible labor and there is an invisible labor.

The drama is complete poetry. The ode and the epic contain it only in germ; it contains both of them in a state of high development, and epitomizes both.

The flesh is the surface of the unknown.
