What is called honors and dign...

What is called honors and dignities, and even honor and dignity, is generally fool's gold.

Victor Hugo 1217 quotes

Every good quality runs into a...

Every good quality runs into a defect; economy borders on avarice, the generous are not far from the prodigal, the brave man is close to the bully; he who is very pious is slightly sanctimonious; there are just as many vices to virtue as there are holes in the mantle of Diogenes.

Victor Hugo 1217 quotes

Do not forget, do not ever for...

Do not forget, do not ever forget, that you have promised me to use the money to make yourself an honest man.' Valjean, who did not recall having made any promise, was silent. The bishop had spoken the words slowly and deliberately. He concluded with a solemn emphasis: Jean Valjean, my brother, you no longer belong to what is evil but to what is good. I have bought your soul to save it from black thoughts and the spirit of perdition, and I give it to God.

Victor Hugo 1217 quotes

Superstition, bigotry and prej...

Superstition, bigotry and prejudice, ghosts though they are, cling tenaciously to life; they are shades armed with tooth and claw. They must be grappled with unceasingly, for it is a fateful part of human destiny that it is condemned to wage perpetual war against ghosts. A shade is not easily taken by the throat and destroyed.

where the telescope ends the microscope begins, and who can say which has the wider vision?

Victor Hugo 1217 quotes

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.

Progress is not accomplished in one stage.

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.
