Men like me are impossible until the day when they become necessary.
Victor Hugo
Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent.
Victor Hugo
My tastes are aristocratic, my actions democratic.
Victor Hugo
Nations, like stars, are entitled to eclipse. All is well, provided the light returns and the eclipse does not become endless night. Dawn and resurrection are synonymous. The reappearance of the light is the same as the survival of the soul.
Victor Hugo
Nature has made a pebble and a female. The lapidary makes the diamond, and the lover makes the woman.
Victor Hugo

Our acts make or mar us, we are the children of our own deeds.
Victor Hugo
Our life dreams the Utopia. Our death achieves the Ideal.
Victor Hugo
Pain is as diverse as man. One suffers as one can.

Peace is the virtue of civilization. War is its crime.
Victor Hugo
