Hugo

Famous quotes containing the word hugo:

    Change your opinions, keep to your principles; change your leaves, keep intact your roots.
    —Victor Hugo (1802–1885)

    One is not idle because one is absorbed. There is both visible and invisible labor. To contemplate is to toil, to think is to do. The crossed arms work, the clasped hands act. The eyes upturned to Heaven are an act of creation.
    —Victor Hugo (1802–1885)

    The spirit of God, like the sun, always gives all its light at once. The spirit of man resembles the pale moon, which has its phases, its absences and its returns, its lucidity and its spots, its fullness and its disappearance, which borrows all its light from the rays of the sun, and which still dares to intercept them on occasion.
    —Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
