"You can give without loving, but you can never love without giving. The great acts of love are done by those who are habitually performing small acts of kindness. We pardon to the extent that we love. Love is knowing that even when you are alone, you will never be lonely again. And great happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved. Loved for ourselves. And even loved in spite of ourselves." ~Victor Hugo, Les Misérables

"You have enemies? Why, it is the story of every man who has done a great deed or created a new idea. It is the cloud which thunders around everything that shines. Fame must have enemies, as light must have gnats. Do not bother yourself about it; disdain. Keep your mind serene as you keep your life clear." ~Victor Hugo, Villemain (1845)

VERSES

"And the dream that our mind had sketched in haste
Shall others continue, but never complete.
For none upon earth can achieve his scheme;
The best as the worst are futile here:
We wake at the self-same point of the dream,
All is here begun, and finished elsewhere."
~Victor Hugo , Early Love Revisited

Trees of the forest, you know my soul!
As envy dictates, the crowd praises and blames;
But you know me well, you have seen me often,
Alone in your depths, gazing and dreaming.
You know the stone where a scarab beetle scampers,
A humble drop of water falling from flower to flower,
A cloud, a bird can occupy me a whole day,
Contemplation fills my heart with love...
~Victor Hugo, Contemplations

Morrie Schwartz Quotes

"So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half-asleep, even when they're busy doing things they think are important. This is because they're chasing the wrong things. The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning." ~Morrie Schwartz

"The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in." ~Morrie Schwartz
