"What does love look like? It has..." - Quote by Saint Augustine

“You cannot attain to charity except through humility.”

“The people who remained victorious were less like conquerors than conquered.”

“There is something in humility which, strangely enough, exalts the heart, and something in pride which debases it.”

“Slowly he took out the clothes in which, ten years beforem Cosette had left Montfermeil; first the little dress, then the black scarf, then the great heavy child's shoes Cosette could still almost have worn, so small was her foot, then the vest of very thich fustian, then the knitted petticoat, the the apron with pockets, then the wool stockings.... Then his venerable white head fell on the bed, this old stoical heart broke, his face was swallowed up, so to speak, in Cosette's clothes, and anybody who had passed along the staircase at that moment would have heard irrepressible sobbing.”

“And yet,to say the truth, reason and love keep little company together nowadays.”

“The love we give away is the only love we keep.”

“Sometimes adversity is what you need to face in order to [grow and] become successful. For that reason it makes sense to be grateful for adversities that help you grow, even if it is only in understanding and compassion for other's suffering.”

“Let us be those creative dissenters who will call our beloved nation to a higher destiny. To a new plateau of compassion, to a more noble expression of humanness.”

“Thinking about the suffering of those you hold dear can reduce you to tears; in fact, you could spend the whole day crying.”
