Author of quotes: Victor Hugo. Page 2
To say to any other woman, any other blind woman, except Deya: “I am very ugly in appearance,” was dangerous. To be blind and, moreover, in love means to be doubly blind. In such a state, daydreaming awakens with particular force. Illusion is the daily bread of dreams; To take away an illusion from love is the same as to deprive it of food. For love to arise, admiration of both the soul and the body is necessary. In addition, you should never tell a woman anything that is difficult for her to understand. She begins to think about it, and often her thoughts take a bad turn. The riddle destroys the integrity of the dream. The shock caused by a carelessly dropped word entails a deep crack in what has already grown together. Sometimes it happens, one doesn’t even know how, that under the influence of a randomly thrown phrase, the heart gradually becomes empty, unbeknownst to itself. A loving being notices that its level of happiness has decreased. There is nothing more terrible than this slow disappearance of happiness through the walls of a cracked vessel.

True love knows no satiety. Being completely spiritual, she cannot cool down. A burning coal can turn into ash, but a heavenly body never does.

However, in this world, every success is a crime that has to be atoned for. Every medal has a reverse side.

There is nothing more pleasant than patronizing your beloved being, giving what you need to the one who lifts you to the stars.

Gwynplaine knew that those in power were standing over him, the rich, the noble, the minions of fate, and he felt how they unconsciously trampled on him; and below he could make out the pale faces of the dispossessed. He saw himself and Deya, his tiny and at the same time boundless happiness, between these two worlds; above was the world of the free and idle, merry and dancing, carelessly trampling others underfoot; below is the world of those who are trampled upon. At the base of the brilliance is darkness - a sad fact that testifies to a deep social malaise.

Well, the world will always be as it is; everything on earth will go badly enough without your help. Don't worry about it. Don't worry about what's going on around you. Don't cause any storms.

Those who have received the privilege of earthly happiness from above do not like beings below them to allow themselves such joys.

I saw a father of six children hanged to the gallows just because he had a pair of long rabbit ears sticking out of his bag. Such are the nobles. A rabbit belonging to a lord is more valuable than human life.

People are objecting to something! Just think! Yes, you can’t find anything more comical in Plautus himself! The philosopher who would advise this miserable mob to object to the oppression of the lords would be ridiculous. Yes, it’s the same as if a caterpillar got into an argument with an elephant’s heel. I once saw a hippopotamus step on a wormhole; he crushed everything; but he was not guilty of anything. This good-natured giant had no idea that there were moles in the world. My dear, moles that are being crushed are the human race. Crushing each other is the law of nature. Do you think that the mole does not oppress anyone? He is a giant in relation to the mite, which in turn is a giant in relation to the aphid.
