Whenever a man's friends begin...

Whenever a man's friends begin to compliment him about looking young, he may be sure that they think he is growing old.

The brutalities of progress are called revolutions. When they are over we realize this: that the human race has been roughly handled, but that it has advanced.

Victor Hugo 03.03.2018 03:03:03 1217 quotes

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 03.03.2018 03:03:03 1217 quotes

We say that slavery has vanish...

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.

Victor Hugo 03.03.2018 03:03:03 1217 quotes

There is no such thing as a little country. The greatness of a people is no more determined by their numbers than the greatness of a man is by his height.

Victor Hugo 03.03.2018 03:03:03 1217 quotes

One sometimes says: 'He killed...

One sometimes says: 'He killed himself because he was bored with life.' One ought rather to say: 'He killed himself because he was bored by lack of life.'

Victor Hugo 03.03.2018 03:03:03 1217 quotes

The drama is complete poetry. ...

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.

Victor Hugo 03.03.2018 03:03:03 1217 quotes

I am an intelligent river which has reflected successively all the banks before which it has flowed by meditating only on the images offered by those changing shores.

Victor Hugo 03.03.2018 03:03:03 1217 quotes

One is not idle because one is...

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 03.03.2018 03:03:03 1217 quotes

There is a sacred horror about...

There is a sacred horror about everything grand. It is easy to admire mediocrity and hills; but whatever is too lofty, a genius as well as a mountain, an assembly as well as a masterpiece, seen too near, is appalling.

Victor Hugo 03.03.2018 03:03:03 1217 quotes

The three great problems of th...

The three great problems of this century; the degradation of man in the proletariat, the subjection of women through hunger, the atrophy of the child by darkness.

Victor Hugo 03.03.2018 03:03:03 1217 quotes

Do not ask the name of the per...

Do not ask the name of the person who seeks a bed for the night. He who is reluctant to give his name is the one who most needs shelter.

Love is the salutation of the angel to the stars

The convent is supreme egotism resulting in supreme self-denial.

I had a dream my life would be different from this hell I am living, so different from what it seemed. Now life has killed the dream I dreamed.

When I speak to you about myself, I am speaking to you about yourself. How is it you don't see that?

How frightened hypocrisy hastens to defend itself.

An intelligent hell would be better than a stupid paradise.

We are reassured almost as foolishly as we are alarmed; human nature is so constituted.
