Scented Quote of the Day, from Victor Hugo:
"'You shall not escape two sermons', he exclaimed. This morning you had the curé's, tonight you shall have the grandfather's. Listen to me; I am going to give you a piece of advice: Adore one another. I don't make undue flourishes. I go right to the point, be happy. The only sages in creation are the turtledoves. The philosophers say: Moderate your joys. I say; Give them full rein. Be enamored like devils. Be rabid. The philosophers talk nonsense. I would like to cram their philosophy back down their throats. Can there be too many perfumes, too many open rosebuds, too many nightingales singing, too many green leaves, too many dawns in life? Can you love each other too much? Can you please each other too much?"
Les misérables
Translation by Lee Fahnestock and Norman Mac Afee.
Ahhhh, but I love this quote. There can never be enough perfume! :):)
Same here. I love this quote, it's so spirited and beautiful in its expression.
