Let us fear the worst, but work with faith; the best will always take care of itself.

Houses are like the human beings that inhabit them.

To live a life which is a perpetual falsehood is to suffer unknown tortures.

A bird sings, a child prattles, but it is the same hymn; hymn indistinct, inarticulate, but full of profound meaning.

Kings are for nations in their swaddling-clothes: France has attained her majority.

To rove about, musing, that is to say loitering, is, for a philosopher, a good way of spending time.

If I were Jesus Christ, I would save Judas.

Victor Hugo 1217 quotes

Inanimate objects sometimes appear endowed with a strange power of sight. A statue notices, a tower watches, the face of an edifice contemplates.

Victor Hugo 1217 quotes

Take all reasonable advantage ...

Take all reasonable advantage of that which the present may offer you. It is the only time which is ours. Yesterday is buried forever, and to-morrow we may never see.

I believe in religion against the religious; in the pitifulness of orisons, and in the sublimity of prayer.

No religion but blasphemes a little.

Victor Hugo 1217 quotes

Revery, which is thought in it...

Revery, which is thought in its nebulous state, borders closely upon the land of sleep, by which it is bounded as by a natural frontier.

A queen, devoid of beauty is not queen;
She needs the royalty of beauty's mien.

In 1815, M. Charles Francois-Bienvenu Myriel was Bishop of D-----. He was a man of seventy-five, and had occupied the bishopric of D----- since 1806. Although it in no manner concerns, even in the remotest degree, what we have to relate, it may not be useless, were it only for the sake of exactness in all things, to notice here the reports and gossip which had arisen on his account from the time of his arrival in the diocese.

A stout heart may be ruined in fortune but not in spirit.

A few feet under the ground reigns so profound a silence, and yet so much tumult on the surface!

It seems as though, at the approach of a certain dark hour, the light of heaven infills those who are leaving the light of earth.

Foppery is the egotism of clothes.

Victor Hugo 1217 quotes

Was it possible that Napoleon ...

Was it possible that Napoleon should win the battle of Waterloo? We answer, No! Why? Because of Wellington? Because of Blucher? No! Because of God! For Bonaparte to conquer at Waterloo was not the law of the nineteenth century. It was time that this vast man should fall. He had been impeached before the Infinite! He had vexed God! Waterloo was not a battle. It was the change of front of the universe!

God whose gifts in gracious flood
Unto all who seek are sent,
Only asks you to be good
And is content.
