About this Quote

Victor Hugo's quote is a metaphor for the power of compliments. A compliment is a gesture of generosity and admiration that can be felt even when it is not seen. It is like a kiss, an indication of affection, however veiled in words. The veil of words can be seen as a barrier in between the provider and receiver of the compliment, however the belief still comes through. The veil can also be seen as a way of safeguarding the provider from shame or vulnerability. Compliments can be a powerful way to reveal gratitude and affection for somebody, even if it is not seen or heard. They can be a method to reveal love and affection without having to state it directly. Compliments can be a method to show someone that you appreciate them and that you value them.
