It is those books which a man ...

It is those books which a man possesses but does not read which constitute the most suspicious evidence against him.

Victor Hugo 1217 quotes

If it were (Is it not) outrage...

If it were (Is it not) outrageous that society should treat with such rigid precision those of its members who were most poorly endowed in the distribution or wealth that chance had made, and who were, therefore, most worthy of indulgence.

Genius is rare because the means of becoming one have not been available

It is grievous for a man to leave behind him a shadow in his own shape.

Children at once accept joy and happiness with quick familiarity, being themselves naturally all happiness and joy.

If you look in the eyes of the young, you see flame. If you look in the eyes of the old, you see light.

God blesses man, not for having found but for having sought.

A house is built of logs and stone, of tiles and posts and piers; a home is built of loving deeds that stand a thousand years.

Victor Hugo 1217 quotes

In the relations of humans with the animals, with the flowers, with all the objects of creation, there is a whole great ethic scarcely seen as yet.

Music expresses that which cannot be put into words.

The soul helps the body, and at certain moments raises it. It is the only bird that sustains its cage.

Victor Hugo 1217 quotes

Love has no middle term; eithe...

Love has no middle term; either it destroys, or it saves. All human destiny is this dilemma. This dilemma, destruction or salvation, no fate proposes more inexorably than love. Love is life, if it is not death. Cradle; coffin, too. The same sentiment says yes and no in the human heart. Of all the things God has made, the human heart is the one that sheds most light, and alas! most night.

Victor Hugo 1217 quotes

An increase of tenderness always ended by boiling over and turning to indignation. He was at the point where we seek to adopt a course, and to accept what tears us apart.

Victor Hugo 1217 quotes

Marius was of the temperament ...

Marius was of the temperament that sinks into grief and remains there; Cosette was of the sort that plunges in and comes out again.

Victor Hugo 1217 quotes

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

Victor Hugo 1217 quotes

The reduction of the universe ...

The reduction of the universe to the compass of a single being, and the extension of a single being until it reaches God - that is love. Love is the salute of the angels to the stars. How sad is the heart when rendered sad by love! How great is the void created by the absence of the being who alone fills the world.

Victor Hugo 1217 quotes

Nothing can be sadder or more ...

Nothing can be sadder or more profound than to see a thousand things for the first and last time. To journey is to be born and die each minute...All the elements of life are in constant flight from us, with darkness and clarity intermingled, the vision and the eclipse; we look and hasten, reaching out our hands to clutch; every happening is a bend in the road...and suddenly we have grown old. We have a sense of shock and gathering darkness; ahead is a black doorway; the life that bore us is a flagging horse, and a veil

Victor Hugo 1217 quotes

If the soul is left in darknes...

If the soul is left in darkness, sins will be committed. The guilty one is not he who commits the sin, but the one who causes the darkness. (Monseigneur Bienvenu in _Les Miserables_)
