To be wicked does not insure prosperity - for the inn did not succeed well. ~ Victor Hugo
Les Miserable quotes by Victor Hugo
To love or have loved, that is enough. Ask nothing further. There is no other pearl to be found in the dark folds of life. ~ Victor Hugo
Les Miserable quotes by Victor Hugo
There is nothing like a dream to create the future. ~ Victor Hugo
Les Miserable quotes by Victor Hugo
As for us, we who do not believe what these women believe, but live like them by faith, never could look without a sort of tender and religious awe, a kind of pity full of envy, at those devoted beings, trembling yet confident-those humble yet august souls, who date to live on the brink of the great mystery, waiting between the world closed to them and heaven not yet opened; turned toward the daylight not yet seen, with only the happiness of thinking that they know where it is; their aspirations directed toward the abyss and the unknown, their gaze fixes on the motionless obscurity, kneeling, dismayed, stupefied, shuddering, and half carried of sometimes by the deep breath of Eternity. ~ Victor Huge
Les Miserable quotes by Victor Huge
Without at all invalidating what we have just said, we believe that a perpetual remembrance of the tomb is proper for the living. On this point, the priest and the philosopher agree: We must die. ~ Victor Hugo
Les Miserable quotes by Victor Hugo
When grace is joined with wrinkles, it is adorable. There is an unspeakable dawn in happy old age. ~ Victor Hugo
Les Miserable quotes by Victor Hugo
Those who do not weep, do not see. ~ Victor Hugo
Les Miserable quotes by Victor Hugo
We do not comprehend everything, but we insult nothing. ~ Victor Hugo
Les Miserable quotes by Victor Hugo
Teach the ignorant as much as you can; society is culpable in not providing a free education for all and it must answer for the night which it produces. If the soul is left in darkness sins will be committed. The guilty one is not he who commits the sin, but he who causes the darkness. ~ Victor Hugo
Les Miserable quotes by Victor Hugo
He never went out without a book under his arm, and he often came back with two. ~ Victor Hugo
Les Miserable quotes by Victor Hugo
It is nothing to die. It is frightful not to live. ~ Victor Hugo
Les Miserable quotes by Victor Hugo
Indigestion is charged by God with enforcing morality on the stomach. ~ Victor Hugo
Les Miserable quotes by Victor Hugo
Until we discover this Spiritual Centre in ourselves, the God in us, we will be confused, miserable, unsatisfied and disturbed, an enigma to ourselves and to others. ~ Swami Chinmayananda
Les Miserable quotes by Swami Chinmayananda
Campaigns are a great bore; they are mostly about either finding enough water for your company, or being up to your knees in mud and all the food's gone bad. Battles are blessedly brief; but you're sick with terror before, blind with panic during, and miserable with horror by the results, when you have to bury your friends, or listen to them scream. ~ Robin McKinley
Les Miserable quotes by Robin McKinley
Why make one woman miserable ,when you can make many happy ~ William Allen
Les Miserable quotes by William Allen
A toast to the birthday boy!' Myrna shouted. 'Welcome to the adult world, hon. It's lonely, it's miserable, and God help you. But there are bright spots, and nights like tonight are one of them. ~ Natalie Standiford
Les Miserable quotes by Natalie Standiford
If I want reality, I'll walk outside and breathe in the toxic air, dammit. I'll take a look at my own miserable life. If I read or watch a movie, I'd better get a fucking happily-ever-after. ~ C.M. Owens
Les Miserable quotes by C.M. Owens
Each of the seventeen tribunals during a long period burned annually, on an average, ten miserable beings! ~ John Foxe
Les Miserable quotes by John Foxe
What sentence will you choose to impose on yourself? Are you willing to stop suffering and making yourself miserable when your sentence has expired? This would at least be a responsible way to punish yourself because it would be time-limited. ~ David D. Burns
Les Miserable quotes by David D. Burns
the only person you can ever change is yourself; after you have done that and you are the best you that you can be, let go. There is always another job, another woman, another best friend. Each day that you persist in a situation where you are miserable is a day wasted on the path that would lead you to happiness.' He looks at me and says, 'So you are saying I should take the easy way out?' And I say, 'No, I want you to know the difference between trying and holding on.' Monday ~ Twinkle Khanna
Les Miserable quotes by Twinkle Khanna
Dr. Blockhead's mocking face was solemn for once. 'Modern science is wiping out deviant strains of the human form,' he said. 'In the twenty-first century, genetic engineering will do more than merely eliminate Siamese twins and alligator-skinned people. It will make it hard to find a person with even a slight overbite or a large nose. I can see that future and it makes me shudder. The future looks like- him'
Dr. Blockhead pointed at Mulder.
'Imagine going through your whole life looking like that,' said Dr. Blockhead.
Mulder shrugged. 'It's a tough job- but someone has to do it. ~ Les Martin
Les Miserable quotes by Les Martin
This one,' said the hooded man, 'resists sorcery, Cotillion. Though his blood is old, I wonder, will all mortals one day be like him? An end to miracles. Nothing but dull, banal existence, nothing but mundane absence of wonder.' The cane jabbed. 'A world of bureaucrats. Mealy-minded, sour-faced and miserable as a reunion of clerks. In such a world, Cotillion, not even the gods will visit. Except in pilgrimage to depression. ~ Steven Erikson
Les Miserable quotes by Steven Erikson
People have seen that I intend to sweep away everything we have been taught to consider - without question - as grace and beauty; but have overlooked my work to substitute a vaster beauty, touching all objects and beings, not excluding the most despised - and because of that, all the more exhilarating ...
I would like people to look at my work as an enterprise for the rehabilitation of scorned values, and, in any case, make no mistake, a work of ardent celebration ...
I am convinced that any table can be for each of us a landscape as inexhaustible as the whole Andes range ... I am struck by the high value, for a man, of a simple permanent fact, like the miserable vista on which the window of his room opens daily, that comes, with the passing of time, to have an important role in his life. I often think that the highest destination at which a work of art can aim is to take on that function in someone's life. ~ Jean Dubuffet
Les Miserable quotes by Jean Dubuffet
We were like two performers in a play, but we were divided, we were not acting with one another. We had to endure it alone, we had to put up this show, this miserable, sham performance for the sake of all these people I did not know and did not want to see again. ~ Daphne Du Maurier
Les Miserable quotes by Daphne Du Maurier
Revolutionists are accused of sowing fear abroad. Every barricade seems a crime. Their theories are incriminated, their aim suspected, their ulterior motive is feared, their conscience denounced. They are reproached with raising, erecting, and heaping up, against the reigning social state, a mass of miseries, of griefs, of iniquities, of wrongs, of despairs, and of tearing from the lowest depths blocks of shadow in order therein to embattle themselves and to combat. People shout to them: "You are tearing up the pavements of hell!" They might reply: "That is because our barricade is made of good intentions. ~ Victor Hugo
Les Miserable quotes by Victor Hugo
It's often in your most miserable times that you will realize your potential ~ Thabiso Monkoe
Les Miserable quotes by Thabiso Monkoe
Let the society read freely, let the society think freely and here is the result: A bright country! Let the society does not read freely, let the society does not think freely and here is the result: A miserable country! ~ Mehmet Murat Ildan
Les Miserable quotes by Mehmet Murat Ildan
For a moment she didn't understand what he wanted, then she drew the dagger he'd made for her and gave it to him
Arin looked it over
surprised, pleased. "You take good care of it."
She took it back. "Of course I do." Her voice was rough and wrong.
He peered at her. Friendly, he said, "Yes, of course. Is there a saying for it? 'A Valorian always polishes her blade.' Something like that."
"I take care of it," she said, suddenly both miserable and angry, "because you made it for me. ~ Marie Rutkoski
Les Miserable quotes by Marie Rutkoski
If an offender has committed murder, he must die. In this case, no possible substitute can satisfy justice. For there is no parallel between death and even the most miserable life, so that there is no equality of crime and retribution unless the perpetrator is judicially put to death. ~ Immanuel Kant
Les Miserable quotes by Immanuel Kant
Scotland is a much lighter and more fun place than I thought it was. I was miserable when I was there. But it wasn't Scotland's fault. It was my circumstances. I was - I hate to say the word humbled - but that's what it felt like. I was wrong about this place. This is a great place full of very fun people. ~ Craig Ferguson
Les Miserable quotes by Craig Ferguson
Nobody loves the light like the blind man. ~ Victor Hugo
Les Miserable quotes by Victor Hugo
It was every-happy-person-is-the-same-and-boring-and-every-miserable-person-is-miserable-in-an-interesting-way logic. (Except miserable people are boring, too.) ~ Elizabeth Ellen
Les Miserable quotes by Elizabeth Ellen
I have decided to come back for Les Bleus. ~ Zinedine Zidane
Les Miserable quotes by Zinedine Zidane
Clara believed with all her heart that God worked all things together for good to those who loved Him and were called according to His purpose. But she did not believe that everything that happened was good. The world was fallen and there was sin in every heart. But God's grace was bigger. The other truth she believed, from a life of experiencing it, was that for real change to happen deep in the soul, God tended to make people miserable rather than happy. He brought them to the end of themselves and showed them how powerless they were in order to show them how powerful He was. ~ Chris Fabry
Les Miserable quotes by Chris Fabry
On our own we simply don't know how to get things done the same way you do things. But, like everyone else, we want to do the best we possibly can. When we sense you've given up on us, it makes us feel miserable. So please keep helping us, through to the end. ~ Naoki Higashida
Les Miserable quotes by Naoki Higashida
This miserable, awful woman still had no idea what it meant to be truly beautiful, or truly loved. ~ Marissa Meyer
Les Miserable quotes by Marissa Meyer
Usually, if I want to just listen to something or sing along to something, I'll put on some Gavin DeGraw or some Billy Joel. Occasionally, if I am feeling vocally in really great shape, I will sing Jean Valjean's soliloquy from 'Les Miz' or something. ~ Josh Young
Les Miserable quotes by Josh Young
She thought too that women didn't know what to do with themselves these days which could turn them into harridans. Hardly a female friend she knew wasn't miserable. Either mind dumb with children, or in the married condition married to an earnest toiler, or lonely unmarried in their successful career. ~ J.P. Donleavy
Les Miserable quotes by J.P. Donleavy
There is nothing more miserable in the world than to arrive in paradise and look like your passport photo. ~ Erma Bombeck
Les Miserable quotes by Erma Bombeck
I am not trapped," Deanna said sharply, surprised and worried by the turn of the conversation. Kelly was so self-possessed that it was sometimes difficult to know what was going on in her mind. "I love you all. I live here and help with money because I choose to, because it makes me happy. I'd be miserable if I just up and left you in the lurch. ~ Noelle Adams
Les Miserable quotes by Noelle Adams
I have a huge editor in my head who's always making me miserable. But sometimes, I try to let my unconscious act out. ~ David Chase
Les Miserable quotes by David Chase
Before we give you billions more, we want to know what you've done with the trillion you've got. ~ Les Aspin
Les Miserable quotes by Les Aspin
Occasionally when no one was looking I would try on the wigs myself, but it was mostly the gray ones. I wanted to see how I would look when I was older. I would soon be old, I felt, and nothing would happen to me in the meantime because I wasn't interested in anything or anyone. I'd be deserted, I was convinced of it now. I was miserable. ~ Margaret Atwood
Les Miserable quotes by Margaret Atwood
To be angry once in a while is really good fun, because it makes others so miserable. But to be angry morning, noon and night, as I am, grows monotonous and prevents my gaining any other pleasure in life. ~ L. Frank Baum
Les Miserable quotes by L. Frank Baum
The main source of some poor people's misery is, not their being poor, but some people's not being poor. ~ Mokokoma Mokhonoana
Les Miserable quotes by Mokokoma Mokhonoana
GET MOVING

People are often scared of the word exercise. We associate the word with pain, and we think of it as a chore. (And it can be--who likes going to the gym at 6 A.M.?) If that's how you're thinking, then you need to change your psychology. I don't think of my body in terms of exercise; I think in terms of movement. Look at the actual word--I see it as "meant to move." As human beings, going back to the beginning of civilization, we've had to move to survive. We had to throw spears to hunt, we had to prepare land to plant seeds, we had to gather firewood. Our bodies are hardwired to move. Not even TiVo can rewire those thousands of years of DNA. This isn't a new idea, but it's easy to forget: your body is connected to your mind and spirit.
People say, "I'm miserable because I'm overweight" or "I'm overweight because I'm miserable," but these two go hand in hand. I know when I drink to excess or put poisons in my body, the next day I'm not going to feel happy or inspired. The body is the vehicle that can help you reach your dreams. Keeping it moving, strong, and healthy paves the way to overall well-being. You can't say you love yourself when you abuse yourself physically, and by not using your body, you're abusing it.
But here's the first piece of good news: you don't have to be in the gym to exercise. You just need to move--and keep moving. It can be anywhere, at any time. Sometimes I'll do push-ups during a commercial break while watching TV. Som ~ Derek Hough
Les Miserable quotes by Derek Hough
Money,if it does not bring you happiness,it will atleast help you be miserable in comfort ~ Helen Gurley Brown
Les Miserable quotes by Helen Gurley Brown
My heroes are guys like Frank Capra and Elia Kazan and Coen brothers and Terry Gilliam, more so than a lot of bass players at this point in my life. So I've always been an old-film nut and have very much enjoyed doing videos over the years. ~ Les Claypool
Les Miserable quotes by Les Claypool
So I put it out of its misery, if it really was miserable, and tried not to think about it. That was another thing they taught us at Willow Creek: don't write their eulogy, don't try to imagine who they used to be, how they came to be here, how they came to be this. I know, who doesn't do that, right? Who doesn't look at one of those things and just naturally start to wonder? It's like reading the last page of a book ... your imagination just naturally spinning. And that's when you get distracted, get sloppy, let your guard down and end up leaving someone else to wonder what happened to you. ~ Max Brooks
Les Miserable quotes by Max Brooks
If the Christian dogmas of a revengeful God, universal sinfulness, election by divine grace and the danger of eternal damnation were true, it would be a sign of weak-mindedness and lack of character not to become a priest, apostle or hermit and, in fear and trembling, to work solely on one's own salvation; it would be senseless to lose sight of ones eternal advantage for the sake of temporal comfort. If we may assume that these things are at any rate believed true, then the everyday Christian cuts a miserable figure; he is a man who really cannot count to three, and who precisely on account of his spiritual imbecility does not deserve to be punished so harshly as Christianity promises to punish him.
from Nietzsche's Human, all too Human ~ Friedrich Nietzsche
Les Miserable quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
And one day, very soon in fact, Adi would be an adolescent. An adolescent son of a clerk. A miserable thing to be in this country. He would have to forget all his dreams and tell himself that what he wanted to do was engineering. It's the only hope, everyone would tell him. Engineering, Adi would realize, is every mother's advice to her son, a father's irrevocable decision, a boy's first foreboding of life. ~ Manu Joseph
