A cannonball travels only two thousand miles an hour; light travels two hundred thousand miles a second. Such is the superiority of Jesus Christ over Napoleon.

A doctor’s door should never be closed, a priest's door should always be open.

...It all seemed to him to ha...

...It all seemed to him to have disappeared as if behind a curtain at a theater. There are such curtains that drop in life. God is moving on to the next act.

Victor Hugo 1217 quotes

You have enemies? Why, it is ...

You have enemies? Why, it is the story of every man who has done a great deed or created a new idea. It is the cloud which thunders around everything that shines. Fame must have enemies, as light must have gnats. Do no bother yourself about it; disdain. Keep your mind serene as you keep your life clear.

Victor Hugo 1217 quotes

To meditate is to labour; to ...

To meditate is to labour; to think is to act.

It has become necessary to call the attention of European governments to a fact which is apparently so insignificant that the governments seem not to notice it. The fact is this: an entire people is being annihilated. Where? In Europe. Are there witnesses? One witness, the entire world. Do the governments see it? No.

Lastly, this threefold poetry flows from three great sources - The Bible, Homer, Shakespeare.... The Bible before the Iliad, the Iliad before Shakespeare.

Victor Hugo 1217 quotes

There is will in the thought,...

There is will in the thought, there is none in the dream. The dream, which is completely spontaneous, takes and keeps, even in the gigantic and the ideal, the form of our mind. Nothing springs more directly and more sincerely from the very bottom of our souls than our unreflected and indefinite aspirations towards the splendours of destiny.

Victor Hugo 1217 quotes

You say, "Where goest Thou?" ...

You say, "Where goest Thou?" I cannot tell, And still go on. But if the way be straight I cannot go amiss: before me lies Dawn and the day: the night behind me: that Suffices me: I break the bounds: I see, And nothing more; believe and nothing less. My future is not one of my concerns.

Nature, like a kind and smiling mother, lends herself to our dreams and cherishes our fancies.

Foppery is the egotism of clothes.

Now, one cannot read nonsense with impunity.

On this point, the priest and the philosopher agree: We must die.

Victor Hugo 1217 quotes

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.

Victor Hugo 1217 quotes

Why worry about what threatens our heads or purses? Let us think instead of what threatens our souls.

We are not loved by our friends for what we are; rather, we are loved in spite of what we are.

There are, as we know, powerful and illustrious atheists. At bottom, led back to the truth by their very force, they are not absolutely sure that they are atheists; it is with them only a question of definition, and in any case, if they do not believe in God, being great minds, they prove God.

Dark Error's other hidden side is truth.
