Nothing else in the world... not all the armies... is so powerful as an idea whose time has come.

As a means of contrast with the sublime, the grotesque is, in our view, the richest source that nature can offer.

Victor Hugo 1217 quotes

In the French language, there...

In the French language, there is a great gulf between prose and poetry; in English, there is hardly any difference. It is a splendid privilege of the great literary languages Greek, Latin, and French that they possess a prose. English has not this privilege. There is no prose in English.

Victor Hugo 1217 quotes

To give thanks in solitude is...

To give thanks in solitude is enough. Thanksgiving has wings and goes where it must go. Your prayer knows much more about it than you do.

Victor Hugo 1217 quotes

One is not idle because one i...

One is not idle because one is absorbed. There is both visible and invisible labor. To contemplate is to toil, to think is to do. The crossed arms work, the clasped hands act. The eyes upturned to Heaven are an act of creation.

Victor Hugo 1217 quotes

Society is a republic. When a...

Society is a republic. When an individual tries to lift themselves above others, they are dragged down by the mass, either by ridicule or slander.

Victor Hugo 1217 quotes

Everything being a constant carnival, there is no carnival left.

An intelligent hell would be better than a stupid paradise.

Victor Hugo 1217 quotes

I met in the street a very poor young man who was in love. His hat was old, his coat worn, his cloak was out at the elbows, the water passed through his shoes, - and the stars through his soul.

Victor Hugo 1217 quotes

Intelligence is the wife, imagination is the mistress, memory is the servant.

Victor Hugo 1217 quotes

There is one spectacle grander than the sea, that is the sky; there is one spectacle grander than the sky, that is the interior of the soul.

Victor Hugo 1217 quotes

Have courage for the great sorrows of life and patience for the small ones; and when you have laboriously accomplished your daily task, go to sleep in peace.

Victor Hugo 1217 quotes

When dictatorship is a fact, ...

When dictatorship is a fact, revolution becomes a right.
