  • There is always more misery among the lower classes than there is humanity in the higher.

    Victor Hugo (1994). “Les Miserables Volume One”, p.7, Wordsworth Editions
  • In this way, his unhappy soul struggled with its anguish. Eighteen hundred years before this unfortunate man, the mysterious Being, in whom all the sanctities and all the sufferings of humanity come together, He too, while the olive trees trembled in the fierce breath of the Infinite, had brushed away the fearful cup that appeared before him, streaming with shadow and running over with darkness, in the star-filled depths. (pg. 236)

  • Humanity is our common lot. All men are made of the same clay. There is no difference, at least here on Earth, in the fate assigned to us. We come of the same void, inhabit the same flesh, are dissolved in the same ashes. But ignorance infecting the human substance turns it black, and that incurable blackness, gaining possession of the soul, becomes Evil.

  • 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.

    Victor Hugo (1980). “Les misérables”, Viking Pr
  • Homer is one of the men of genius who solve that fine problem of art - the finest of all, perhaps - truly to depict humanity by the enlargement of man: that is, to generate the real in the ideal.

    Victor Hugo (2001). “William Shakespeare”, p.43, The Minerva Group, Inc.
  • Superstitions, bigotries, hypocrisies, prejudices, these phantoms, phantoms though they be, cling to life; they have teeth and nails in their shadowy substance, and we must grapple with them individually and make war on them without truce; for it is one of humanity's inevitabilities to be condemned to eternal struggle with phantoms.

    Victor Hugo (1987). “Les Misérables”, Signet Classics
  • 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.

    Victor Hugo (2001). “William Shakespeare”, p.80, The Minerva Group, Inc.
  • Hell is an outrage on humanity. When you tell me that your deity made you in his image, I reply that he must have been very ugly.

  • That is the explanation of war, an outrage by humanity upon humanity in despite of humanity.

    Victor Hugo (1980). “Les misérables”, Viking Pr
  • In this world, which is so plainly the antechamber of another, there are no happy men. The true division of humanity is between those who live in light and those who live in darkness. Our aim must be to diminish the number of the latter and increase the number of the former. That is why we demand education and knowledge.

    Victor Hugo (1980). “Les misérables”, Viking Pr
  • Religion, Society, and Nature--these are the three struggles of man.

    Victor Hugo (2007). “Hugo's Works: Toilers of the Sea”, p.9, Wildside Press LLC
  • I advance in life, I grow more simple, and I become more and more patriotic for humanity.

    Victor Hugo (2010). “The Works of Victor Hugo”, p.2093, BookCaps Study Guides
