3. Les Miserables- "What more do you need?"

I have a confession...I may have started Les Miserables before my 29th birthday.  I have only read the first 50 pages, so I didn't really get much of a head start.  Here is my favorite quote from what I read today. (it is talking about the priest)

"What more was needed  by this old man, who divided the leisure hours of his life, where he had so little leisure, between gardening in the daytime and contemplation at night?  Was this narrow enclosure with the sky for a background not space enough for him to adore God in his most beautiful, most sublime works?  Indeed, is that not everything?  What more do you need?  A little garden to walk in, and immensity to reflect on.  At his feet something to cultivate and gather; above his head something to study and meditate on, a few flowers on earth and all the stars in heaven." p. 55

I love this quote!  It also supports my goals to learn the constellations and flowers.  "What more do you need?  A little garden to walk in, and immensity to reflect on..."
