To be perfectly happy it does not suffice to possess happiness, it is necessary to have deserved it. – Victor Hugo
The supreme happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved — loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves. – Victor Hugo

Civil war? What does that mean? Is there any foreign war? Isnt every war fought between men, between brothers? – Victor Hugo
If you asked somebody, what do you wish for in life? they wouldnt say happiness. I would have answered excitement, knowledge, God knows – I mean, many, many different things, but certainly not happiness. It seemed like a foreign concept to wish for something that specific and that singular. – Connie Nielsen
