Victor Hugo 1217 quotes

So a voice in the mountain is ...

So a voice in the mountain is enough to let loose an avalanche. A word too much may be followed by a caving in. If the word had not been spoken, it would not have happened.

We are on the side of religion...

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

The truth of an upright man mu...

The truth of an upright man must be accepted on his own terms. Moreover, since natures vary, we must agree that all the beauties of human excellence may be fostered by faiths that we do not share.

Nothing is so stifling as symmetry. Symmetry is boredom, the quintessence of mourning. Despair yawns. There is something more terrible than a hell of suffering - a hell of boredom.

Victor Hugo 1217 quotes

If suffer we must, let's suffe...

If suffer we must, let's suffer on the heights.

Victor Hugo 1217 quotes

This first glance of a soul which does not yet know itself is like dawn in the heavens; it is the awakening of something radiant and unknown.

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

In every cradle decked with rosy wreath Lurk germs of death.

Victor Hugo 1217 quotes

Do not economize on the hymene...

Do not economize on the hymeneal rites; do not prune them of their splendor, nor split farthings on the day when you are radiant. A wedding is not house-keeping.

Victor Hugo 1217 quotes

And the dream that our mind ha...

And the dream that our mind had sketched in haste Shall others continue, but never complete. For none upon earth can achieve his scheme; The best as the worst are futile here: We wake at the self-same point of the dream, All is here begun, and finished elsewhere.
