Victor Hugo
Victor Hugo - Bilingual quotes that celebrate the beauty of language, showcasing meaningful expressions in two unique perspectives.
Victor Hugo
While through the working of laws and customs there continues to exist a condition of social condemnation which artificially creates a human hell within civilization, and complicates with human fatality and destiny that is divin; while the three great problems of this century, the degradation of man in the proletariat, the subjection of women through hunger, the atrophy of the child by darkness, continue unresolved; while in some regions social asphyxia remains possible; in other words, and in still wider terms, while ignorance and povery persist on earth, books such as this cannot fail to be of value. Hauteville House, I January 1862
Victor Hugo
What was this time in the young woman's gaze? Marius could not have said it. There was nothing and there was everything. It was a strange lightning. {...} It is a kind of undecided tenderness that is randomly revealed and expects. It is a trap that the innocence weapons without knowing it, where it catches two hearts unintentionally.
Victor Hugo
Associate these two ideas, Paris and Childhood, which contain one all the fire, the other the entire dawn; Make these two sparks clash, and the result is a small being.
Victor Hugo
Nothing does not exist. Zero does not exist. Everything is something. Nothing is nothing.
Victor Hugo
Finish this duel, amalgamate the pure idea with human reality, make the right in the fact peacefully and done in law, is the work of the wise.
Victor Hugo
Here man becomes a dragon. Being hungry, having thirst is the starting point, being Satan is the point of arrival.
Victor Hugo
In those moments of existence in which man has a need for pride because he needs love.
Victor Hugo
It has a pearl in the soul, innocence; And the pearls do not dissolve in the mud. {...} It is stirred in manure and leaves it covered with stars.
Victor Hugo
It was not the power to love what it lacked, but the possibility.

Taffy. He thinks about taffy. He thinks it would take his teeth out now, but he would eat it anyhow, if it meant eating it with her.
by Mitch Albom
All our human endeavours are like that, she reflected, and it is only because we are too ignorant to realize it, or are too forgetful to remember it, that we have the confidence to build something that is meant to last.
by Alexander McCall Smith
In fact, none of us knows how he ever managed to get his LLB in the first place. Maybe they're putting law degrees in cornflakes boxes these days.
by Alexander McCall Smith
The value of money is subjective, depending on age. At the age of one, one multiplies the actual sum by 145,000, making one pound seem like 145,000 pounds to a one-year-old. At seven โ Bertie's age โ the multiplier is 24, so that five pounds seems like 120 pounds. At the age of twenty four, five pounds is five pounds; at forty five it is divided by 5, so that it seems like one pound and one pound seems like twenty pence. {All figures courtesy of Scottish Government Advice Leaflet: Handling your Money.}
by Alexander McCall Smith
Look, if you say that science will eventually prove there is no God, on that I must differ. No matter how small they take it back, to a tadpole, to an atom, there is always something they can't explain, something that created it all at the end of the search. And no matter how far they try to go the other way โ to extend life, play around with the genes, clone this, clone that, live to one hundred and fifty โ at some point, life is over. And then what happens? When the life comes to an end? I shrugged. You see? He leaned back. He smiled. When you come to the end, that's where God begins.
by Mitch Albom
Small towns are like metronomes; with the slightest flick, the beat changes.
by Mitch Albom
You say you should have died instead of me. But during my time on earth, people died instead of me, too. It happens every day. When lightning strikes a minute after you are gone, or an airplane crashes that you might have been on. When your colleague falls ill and you do not. We think such things are random. But there is a balance to it all. One withers, another grows. Birth and death are part of a whole.
by Mitch Albom
we get so many lives between birth and death. A life to be a child. A life to come of age. A life to wander, to settle, to fall in love, to parent, to test our promise, to realize our mortality-and, in some lucky cases, to do something after that realization.
by Mitch Albom
Where there's bluster, thinks Luisa, there's duplicity
by David Mitchell
But an ink brush, she thinks, is a skeleton key for a prisoner's mind.
