“In 1815, M. Charles-Francois-Bienvenu Myriel was Bishop of Dâ€”â€” He was an old man of about seventy-five years of age; he had occupied the see of Dâ€”â€” since 1806.”
“Music is, of course, a universal emotional experience, cutting across cultures and languages. I studied piano for ten years as a child and consider that experience one of the most valuable in my life.”
“If you can steal from your competition, then they deserve to lose it. If someone steals from you, then shame on you....you deserve it. Same goes for employees too.”
“If a man whistles at you, don't turn around. You are a lady not a dog.”
“I think whenever you go through something of that nature, you get to see who's really on your side and who's really there for you. That happened in my case. And it really let me understand that no matter how small of a decision you make, it's going to have a subsequent action or reaction, and something that started out very innocent turned into the tragedy that it was.”
“I wonder whether art has a higher function than to make me feel, appreciate, and enjoy natural objects for their art value?”
