Fate, with its mysterious and inexorable patience, was slowly bringing together these two beings charged, like thunder-clouds, with electricity, with the latent forces of passion, and destined to meet and mingle in a look as clouds do in a lightning-flash. So much has been made in love-stories of the power of a glance that we have ended by undervaluing it. We scarcely dare say in these days that two persons fell in love because their eyes met. Yet that is how one falls in love and in no other... Victor Hugo
Victor Hugo quote: "And remember, the truth that once was spoken: To love another..."
And remember, the truth that once was spoken: To love another person is to see the face of God. Victor Hugo
Victor Hugo quote: "To love another person is to see the face of God."
To love another person is to see the face of God. Victor Hugo
To travel is to be born and to die at every instant; perhaps, in the vaguest region of his mind, he did make comparisons between the shifting horizon and our human existence: all the things of life are perpetually fleeing before us; the dark and bright intervals are intermingled; after a dazzling moment, an eclipse; we look, we hasten, we stretch out our hands to grasp what is passing; each event is a turn in the road, and, all at once, we are old; we feel a shock; all is black; we... Victor Hugo
She was sad with an obscure sadness of which she had not the secret herself. There was in her whole person the stupor of a life ended but never commenced. Victor Hugo
One day of happiness is worth more than a lifetime of sorrow .... Under ordinary circumstances, jealousy is a suspicion to the person who excites it and degrading to the person who indulges it. Victor Hugo
A doll is among the most pressing needs as well as the most charming instincts of feminine childhood. To care for it, adorn it, dress and undress it, give it lessons, scold it a little, put it to bed and sing it to sleep, pretend that the object is a living person - all the future of the woman resides in this. Dreaming and murmuring, tending, cossetting, sewing small garments, the child grows into girlhood, from girlhood into womanhood, from womanhood into wifehood, and the first baby is the... Victor Hugo
The memory of an absent person shines in the deepest recesses of the heart, shining the more brightly the more wholly its object has vanished: a light on the horizon of the despairing, darkened spirit; a star gleaming in our inward night. Victor Hugo
He said, moreover, "Teach those who are ignorant as many things as possible; society is culpable, in that it does not afford instruction gratis; it is responsible for the night which it produces. This soul is full of shadow; sin is therein committed. The guilty one is not the person who has committed the sin, but the person who has created the shadow."It will be perceived that he had a peculiar manner of his own of judging things: I suspect that he obtained it from the Gospel. Victor Hugo
Victor Hugo quote: "A good mayor is a useful person. How can you hold back when..."
A good mayor is a useful person. How can you hold back when you have the chance to do good? Victor Hugo
We must never fear robbers or murderers. They are dangers from outside, small dangers. It is ourselves we have to fear. Prejustice is the real robber, vice the real murderer. Why should we be troubled by a threat to our person or our pocket? What we have to beware of is the threat to our souls'. Victor Hugo
Do not ask the name of the person who asks you for a bed for a night. He whose name is a burden to him needs shelter more than any one. Victor Hugo
..... owing money was the beginning of slavery ..... a creditor was worse than a boss, for a boss only owns your person but a creditor owns your dignity and can slap it around. Victor Hugo
Victor Hugo quote: "If you ask the great city, ‘Who is this person?,’ she will..."
If you ask the great city, ‘Who is this person?,’ she will answer, ‘He is my child. Victor Hugo
Victor Hugo quote: "To see nothing of a person makes it possible to credit him..."
To see nothing of a person makes it possible to credit him with all the perfection. Victor Hugo
