The heart becomes heroic through passion. It is no longer composed of anything but what is pure; it no longer rests upon anything but what is elevated and great.

Passion, Heart, Heroic

Victor Hugo (1863). “Les misérables”

Winter is on my head, but eternal spring is in my heart.

Nature, Spring, Heart

Heart, Vacuums, Demolition

Inspiring, Heart, Charity

In Shakespeare the birds sing, the bushes are clothed with green, hearts love, souls suffer, the cloud wanders, it is hot, it is cold, night falls, time passes, forests and multitudes speak, the vast eternal dream hovers over all. Sap and blood, all forms of the multiple reality, actions and ideas, man and humanity, the living and the life, solitudes, cities, religions, diamonds and pearls, dung-hills and charnelhouses, the ebb and flow of beings, the steps of comers and goers, all, all are on Shakespeare and in Shakespeare.

Dream, Fall, Heart

Victor Hugo (2001). “William Shakespeare”, p.80, The Minerva Group, Inc.

The memory of an absent person shines in the deepest recesses of the heart, shining the more brightly the more wholly its object has vanished: a light on the horizon of the despairing, darkened spirit; a star gleaming in our inward night.

Stars, Memories, Heart

Victor Hugo (1980). “Les misérables”, Viking Pr

Look not at the face, young girl, look at the heart. The heart of a handsome young man is often deformed. There are hearts in which love does not keep. Young girl, the pine is not beautiful; it is not beautiful like the poplar, but it keeps its foliage in winter.

Beautiful, Girl, Heart

Victor Hugo (2010). “The Works of Victor Hugo”, p.597, BookCaps Study Guides

Love has no middle term; either it destroys, or it saves. All human destiny is this dilemma. This dilemma, destruction or salvation, no fate proposes more inexorably than love. Love is life, if it is not death. Cradle; coffin, too. The same sentiment says yes and no in the human heart. Of all the things God has made, the human heart is the one that sheds most light, and alas! most night.

Heart, Fate, Night

Victor Hugo, Charles Edwin Wilbour (1987). “Les misérables”, Dutton Adult

The smaller it is the heart, more hatred houses.

Heart, House, Hatred

Profound hearts, wise minds, take life as God makes it; it is a long trial, and unintelligible preparation for the unknown destiny.

Wise, Heart, Destiny

Victor Hugo (2007). “Hugo's Works: Les Miserables (St. Denis)”, p.128, Wildside Press LLC

Can human nature ever be wholly and radically transformed? Can the man whom God made good be made wicked by man? Can the soul be reshaped in its entirety by destiny and made evil because destiny is evil? Can the heart become misshapen and afflicted with ugly, incurable deformities under disproportionate misfortune, like a spinal column bent beneath a too low roof?

Heart, Destiny, Men

Love is like a tree: it grows by itself, roots itself deeply in our being and continues to flourish over a heart in ruin. The inexplicable fact is that the blinder it is, the more tenacious it is. It is never stronger than when it is completely unreasonable.

Heart, Love Is, Roots

Love resembles a tree: it bends under its own weight, deeply rooted in our being and sometimes turns green in the ruins of a heart.

Heart, Tree, Weight

Of all the things that God has made, the human heart is the one which sheds the most light, alas! and the most darkness.

Heart, Light, Darkness

Heart, Black

Laughter, Heart, Soul

Justice has its anger, my lord Bishop, and the wrath of justice is an element of progress. Whatever else may be said of it, the French Revolution was the greatest step forward by mankind since the coming of Christ. It was unfinished, I agree, but still it was sublime. It released the untapped springs of society; it softened hearts, appeased, tranquilized, enlightened, and set flowing through the world the tides of civilization. It was good. The French Revolution was the anointing of humanity.

Spring, Heart, Civilization

Victor Hugo (1980). “Les misérables”, Viking Pr

She might have melted a heart of stone, but nothing can melt a heart of wood.

Heart, Stones, Might
