Victor Hugo

To think is of itself to be useful it is always and in all cases a striving toward God.

Indigestion is charged by God with enforcing morality on the stomach.

Conscience is God present in man.

Hope is the word which God has written on the brow of every man.

When God desires to destroy a thing, he entrusts its destruction to the thing itself. Every bad institution of this world ends by suicide.

Dear God! how beauty varies in nature and art. In a woman the flesh must be like marble in a statue the marble must be like flesh.

Religions do a useful thing: they narrow God to the limits of man. Philosophy replies by doing a necessary thing: it elevates man to the plane of God.

Because one doesn’t like the way things are is no reason to be unjust towards God.

Sorrow is a fruit. God does not make it grow on limbs too weak to bear it.

To love another person is to see the face of God.
