A phenomenon which is often observable. A sceptic who adheres to a believer is as simple as the law of complementary colors. That which we lack attracts us. No one loves the light like the blind man. The dwarf adores the drum-major. The toad always has his eyes fixed on heaven. Why? In order to watch the bird in its flight. Grantaire, in whom writhed doubt, loved to watch faith soar in Enjolras. He had need of Enjolras. That chaste, healthy, firm, upright, hard, candid nature charmed him, without his being clearly aware of it, and without the idea of explaining it to himself having occurred to him.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Victor Hugo" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/victor-hugo/however-this-sceptic-had-one-fanaticism-this-fanaticism-was-neither-a/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/41a/victor-hugo-32_admiration_however-this-sceptic-had-one-fanaticism_1350281.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/41a/victor-hugo-32_admiration_however-this-sceptic-had-one-fanaticism_1350281.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/41a/victor-hugo-32_admiration_however-this-sceptic-had-one-fanaticism_1350281.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“However, this sceptic had one fanaticism.

To have continually at one's side a woman, a daughter, a sister, a charming being, who is there because you need her and because she cannot do without you; to know that we are indispensable to a person who is necessary to us; to be able to incessantly measure one's affection by the amount of her presence which she bestows on us, and to say to ourselves, \"Since she consecrates the whole of her time to me, it is because I possess the whole of her heart\"; to behold her thought in lieu of her face; to be able to verify the fidelity of one being amid the eclipse of the world; to regard the rustle of a gown as the sound of wings; to hear her come and go, retire, speak, return, sing, and to think that one is the centre of these steps, of this speech; to manifest at each instant one's personal attraction; to feel one's self all the more powerful because of one's infirmity; to become in one's obscurity, and through one's obscurity, the star around which this angel gravitates,—few felicities equal this. The supreme happiness of life consists in the conviction that one is loved; loved for one's own sake—let us say rather, loved in spite of one's self; this conviction the blind man possesses. To be served in distress is to be caressed. Does he lack anything? No. One does not lose the sight when one has love. And what love! A love wholly constituted of virtue! There is no blindness where there is certainty. Soul seeks soul, gropingly, and finds it. And this soul, found and tested, is a woman. A hand sustains you; it is hers: a mouth lightly touches your brow; it is her mouth: you hear a breath very near you; it is hers. To have everything of her, from her worship to her pity, never to be left, to have that sweet weakness aiding you, to lean upon that immovable reed, to touch Providence with one's hands, and to be able to take it in one's arms,—God made tangible,—what bliss! The heart, that obscure, celestial flower, undergoes a mysterious blossoming. One would not exchange that shadow for all brightness! The angel soul is there, uninterruptedly there; if she departs, it is but to return again; she vanishes like a dream, and reappears like reality. One feels warmth approaching, and behold! she is there. One overflows with serenity, with gayety, with ecstasy; one is a radiance amid the night. And there are a thousand little cares. Nothings, which are enormous in that void. The most ineffable accents of the feminine voice employed to lull you, and supplying the vanished universe to you. One is caressed with the soul. One sees nothing, but one feels that one is adored. It is a paradise of shadows.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Victor Hugo" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/victor-hugo/let-us-remark-by-the-way-that-to-be-blind-and-to-be-loved-is-in-fact/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/2f3/victor-hugo-32_blind-man_let-us-remark-by-the-way-that-to-be-blin_1498738.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/2f3/victor-hugo-32_blind-man_let-us-remark-by-the-way-that-to-be-blin_1498738.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/2f3/victor-hugo-32_blind-man_let-us-remark-by-the-way-that-to-be-blin_1498738.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Let us remark by the way, that to be blind and to be loved, is, in fact, one of the most strangely exquisite…” — Victor Hugo", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 6, "item": { "@type": "Quotation", "text": "“This blind-man's-buff musketry lasted for a quarter of an hour and killed several panes of glass.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Victor Hugo" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/victor-hugo/this-blind-man-s-buff-musketry-lasted-for-a-quarter-of-an-hour-and/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/e09/victor-hugo-32_quote_this-blind-man-s-buff-musketry-lasted-fo_2048454.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/e09/victor-hugo-32_quote_this-blind-man-s-buff-musketry-lasted-fo_2048454.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/e09/victor-hugo-32_quote_this-blind-man-s-buff-musketry-lasted-fo_2048454.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“This blind-man's-buff musketry lasted for a quarter of an hour and killed several panes of glass.” — Victor Hugo", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 7, "item": { "@type": "Quotation", "text": "A phenomenon often seen.
