No man is more unhappy than the one who is never in adversity; the greatest affliction of life is never to be afflicted.

Victor Hugo 1217 quotes

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

There is suffering in the light; in excess it burns. Flame is hostile to the wing. To burn and yet to fly, this is the miracle of genius.

Victor Hugo 1217 quotes

Life is a flower of which love is honey.

Victor Hugo 1217 quotes

But alas, if I have not maint...

But alas, if I have not maintained my victory, it is God's fault for not making man and the devil of equal strength.

Victor Hugo 1217 quotes

I believe, sir, in all the pr...

I believe, sir, in all the progress. Air navigation is the result of the oceanic navigation: from water the human has to pass in the air. Everywhere where creation will be breathable to him, the human will penetrate into the creation. Our only limit is life.

Victor Hugo 1217 quotes

Nothing is really small; whoe...

Nothing is really small; whoever is open to the deep penetration of nature knows this.

God made the water but men made the wine.

...there is a point when the unfortunate and the infamous are associated and confused in a word, a mortal word, les miserables

Success is a very hideous thing. Its false resemblance to merit deceives men.

Victor Hugo 1217 quotes

Die, very good, but do not ma...

Die, very good, but do not make others die. Suicides like the one which is about to take place here are sublime, but suicide is restricted, and does not allow of extension; and so soon as it affects your neighbors, suicide becomes murder.

Victor Hugo 1217 quotes

Civilization survives on the constant discovery of amity and an equal supply of damnation.

Victor Hugo 1217 quotes

Paris is a sum total. Paris i...

Paris is a sum total. Paris is the ceiling of the human race. All this prodigious city is an epitome of dead and living manners and customs. He who sees Paris, seems to see all history through with the sky and constellations in the intervals.

Victor Hugo 1217 quotes

Love, thine is the future. De...

Love, thine is the future. Death, I use thee, but I hate thee. Citizens, there shall be in the future neither darkness nor thunderbolts; neither ferocious ignorance nor blood for blood.

Victor Hugo 1217 quotes

Since we shall love each other, I shall be great and you shall be rich.

Victor Hugo 1217 quotes

God manifests himself to us i...

God manifests himself to us in the first degree through the life of the universe, and in the second degree through the thought of man. The second manifestation is not less holy than the first. The first is named Nature, the second is named Art.

Victor Hugo 1217 quotes

The soul does not give itself...

The soul does not give itself up to despair until it has exhausted all illusions.

Victor Hugo 1217 quotes

It is in the name of Moses that Bellarmin thunderstrikes Galileo; and this great vulgarizer of the great seeker Copernicus, Galileo, the old man of truth, the magian of the heavens, was reduced to repeating on his knees word for word after the inquisitor this formula of shame: "Corde sincera et fide non ficta abjuro maledico et detestor supradictos errores et hereses." Falsehood put an ass's hood on science.

Victor Hugo 1217 quotes

For, to make deserts, God, who rules mankind, Begins with kings, and ends the work by wind.
