| f39a237 | Man lives by affirmation even more than he does by bread. | Victor Hugo | ||
| 377d8da | Far be it from me to insult the pun! I honor it in proportion to its merits; nothing more. All the most august, the most sublime, the most charming of humanity, and perhaps outside of humanity, have made puns. | Victor Hugo | ||
| b4f7378 | Listen, Monsieur Director, here's what I think. Obviously this is wrong. There are twenty-six of you in five or six small rooms; there are three of us in space enough for sixty. That is wrong, I assure you. You have my house and I am in yours. Give me back mine and this will be your home. | fairness | Victor Hugo | |
| faf9384 | Was there a voice that whispered in his ear that he had just passed the most solemn moment of his destiny, that there was no longer a middle course for him; that from now on, he would either be the best of men or he would be the worst of men; that he now had to rise higher, so to speak, than the bishop or fall even lower than the galley slave; that if he wanted to be good, he had to be an angel; that if he wanted to stay bad, he had to be a.. | Victor Hugo | ||
| 8bb4770 | Ladies, a second piece of advice--do not marry; marriage is a graft; it may take hold or not. Shun the risk. | Victor Hugo | ||
| 4b38c46 | A person who is seated instead of standing erect -- destinies hang upon such a thing as that. | Victor Hugo | ||

| 37c1614 | Teach those who are ignorant as many things as possible; society is culpable, | Victor Hugo | ||
| 3f63985 | The Bishop remained silent for a moment; then he turned abruptly to the director of the hospital. | Victor Hugo | ||
| bd11877 | Common right is nought but the protection of all radiating over the right of each. This protection of all is termed Fraternity. The point of intersection of all these aggregated sovereignties is called Society. This intersection being a junction, this point is a knot. Hence comes what is called the social tie. | society | Victor Hugo | |
| b329749 | Equality, citizens, is not the whole of society on a level, a society of tall blades of grass and small oaks, or a number of entangled jealousies. It is, legally speaking, every aptitude having the same opportunity for a career; politically all consciences having the same right. Equality has an organ, gratuitous and compulsory education. We must begin with the right to the alphabet. | equality | Victor Hugo | |
| 958ea58 | Do not economize on the hymeneal rites; do not prune them of their splendor, nor split farthings on the day when you are radiant. A wedding is not house-keeping. | wedding | Victor Hugo | |
| afdf2b0 | It seemed as though he had for a soul the book of the natural law. | Victor Hugo | ||
| a2c878a | The four walls of the living redoubt had fallen, hardly could a quivering be detected here and there among the corpses; and thus the French legions, grander than the Roman legions, expired at Mont-Saint-Jean on ground soaked in rain and blood, in the somber wheatfields, at the spot where today at four in the morning, whistling, and gaily whipping up his horse, Joseph drives by with the mail from Nivelles. | Victor Hugo | ||
| b4ffef9 | Liberation is not deliverance. One gets free from the galleys, but not from the sentence. That | Victor Hugo | ||
| 3776b5b | The faults of women, of children, of the feeble, the indigent, and the ignorant, are the fault of the husbands, the fathers, the masters, the strong, the rich, and the wise. | Victor Hugo | ||
| 01338f7 | To sum up: all nature-spirits are not the same as fairies; nor are all fairies nature-spirits. The same applies to the relationship of nature-spirits and the dead. But we may safely say that a large proportion of nature-spirits became fairies, while quite a number of the dead in some areas seem to take on the character of nature-spirits. We cannot expect any fixity of rule in dealing with barbaric thought. We must take it as it comes. It be.. | fairies fairy nature-spirit spirits victor-hugo | Lewis Spence | |
| c8ab219 | God gives air to men; the law sells it to them. | Victor Hugo | ||
| 5ba9def | But that which pleases us in people who are rising pleases us less in the case of people who are falling. | Victor Hugo | ||
| 789bc1f | M. de Salaberry was not amused. | Victor Hugo | ||
| cf023b4 | He had given Cosette a dress of Binche lace that had come down to him from his own grandmother. "These fashions have come round again," he said, "old things are all the rage, and the young women of my old age dress like the old women of my childhood," | Victor Hugo | ||
| d74abfc | With Cosette's garter, Homer would make the Iliad. He would put into his poem an old babbler like me, and he would call him Nestor. | Victor Hugo | ||
| 66a2663 | A torch-flame resembles the wisdom of cowards: it gives a poor light because it trembles. | Victor Hugo | ||
| eca039b | the old man raised his finger toward heaven, and said, 'The infinite exists. It is there. If the infinite had no ME, the ME would be its limit; it would not be the infinite; in other words, it would not be. But it is. Then it has a ME. This ME of the infinite is God. | Victor Hugo | ||
| fc9463d | Chantez, riez; soyez heureux, soyes celebres; Chacun de vous sers bientot dans les tenebres. | Victor Hugo | ||
| d123cda | We live in a sad society. Succeed--that is the advice which falls drop by drop from the overhanging corruption. In passing, we might say that success is a hideous thing. Its false similarity to merit deceives men. | Victor Hugo | ||
| 809bdba | Release is not the same as liberation. You get out of jail, all right, but you never stop being condemned. | freedom jail | Victor Hugo | |
| 58f96df | He understood how to say the grandest things in the most vulgar of idioms. As he spoke all tongues, he entered into all hearts. | Victor Hugo | ||
| e3d0e3f | evil condoned wears the mask of benevolence | Victor Hugo | ||
| 29ffe3d | There comes a day when the young girl glances in this manner. Woe to him who chances to be there! That first gaze of a soul which does not, as yet, know itself, is like the dawn in the sky. It | Victor Hugo | ||
| 16884c5 | We will simply say here that, as a means of contrast with the sublime, the grotesque is, in our view, the richest source that nature can offer art. Rubens so understood it, doubtless, when it pleased him to introduce the hideous features of a court dwarf amid his exhibitions of royal magnificence, coronations and splendid ceremonial. | Victor Hugo | ||
| 00cb72e | THIS IS THE SURPRISE. | Victor Hugo | ||
| a40e8bb | The sixth of January, 1482, is not, however, a day of which history has preserved the memory. There was nothing notable in the event which thus set the bells and the bourgeois of Paris in a ferment from early morning. It was neither an assault by the Picards nor the Burgundians, nor a hunt led along in procession, nor a revolt of scholars in the town of Laas, nor an entry of "our much dread lord, monsieur the king," nor even a pretty hangin.. | Victor Hugo | ||
| a7cd9f2 | Ah ! Acaba gunes batmadan olecegim dogru mu? Gercekten mi? Bu ben miyim? Disaridan kulagima gelen bu cigliklar, rihtimda kosusan su sevincli insan kalabaligi, kislalarinda hazirlanan su jandarmalar, su siyah giysili rahip, su kirmizi elbise giymis adam, butun bunlarin hepsi benim icin hazirlaniyor! Olecek olan benim icin ! Su anda burada duran, yasayan, hareket eden, nefes alip veren, butun masalara benzeyen bu masanin onunde oturan ve su a.. | Victor Hugo | ||
| f065a14 | La nada no existe. Cero no existe. Todo es algo. Nada es nada. | victor-hugo | Victor Hugo | |
| a403f24 | Des marchands de sang humain criaient a tue-tete : "Qui veut des places ?". Une rage m'a pris contre ce peuple. J'ai eu envie de leur crier : "Qui veut la mienne ?" | Victor Hugo | ||
| 294dfce | This cavern is below all, and the enemy of all; it is hatred, without exception. | Victor Hugo | ||
| fd4760b | A room where one merely goes to bed costs twenty sous but a room where one retires may cost twenty francs. | Victor Hugo | ||
| 6cb81dc | The greatest favorites of destiny make mistakes. Our joys are composed of shadow. The supreme smile is God's alone. | Victor Hugo | ||
| a18f646 | Vrhunac srece u zivotu, to je uvjerenje da vas netko voli; voli radi vas samih, bolje receno, voli protiv vas samih; slijepac ima to uvjerenje. | sreća život | Victor Hugo | |
| 65a125c | To love, or to have loved,--this suffices. Demand nothing more. There is no other pearl to be found in the shadowy folds of life. To love is a fulfilment. | Victor Hugo | ||
| 5f86274 | I desire to forget life. Life is a hideous invention of I know not whom. It lasts no time at all, and is worth nothing. One breaks one's neck in living. Life is a theatre set in which there are but few practicable entrances. Happiness is an antique reliquary painted on one side only. Ecclesiastes says: 'All is vanity.' I agree with that good man, who never existed, perhaps. | Victor Hugo | ||
| fd8ced6 | Kada si u najvecim mukama i kada ti se dusa grci od bola,kada se ne zna da li si ziv ili mrtav,ipak se tada za one koje volis uvek nadje neznosti u izobilju.Po tome se poznaju velike duse.Kad sve iscezne ostaje samo ljubav. | Victor Hugo | ||
| 4cef693 | The head which does not turn backwards towards horizons that have vanished contains neither thought nor love. | Victor Hugo |
