Bishop M.Myriel keeps spitting bars like this:

Ecclesiastes calls you the All-powerful; the Maccabees call you the Creator; the Epistle to the Ephesians calls you liberty; Baruch calls you Immensity; the Psalms call you Wisdom and Truth; John calls you Light; the Books of Kings call you Lord; Exodus calls you Providence; Leviticus, Sanctity; Esdras, Justice; the creation calls you God; man calls you Father; but Solomon calls you Compassion, and that is the most beautiful of all your names.

M.Myriel points to the fact that the philosophies of the ruling classes lack depth and at the same time cater to them, viewing poor as devoid of sense. If the basis of the philosophy is greed, where is the depth in it, what is the spiritual purpose of that philosophy?

"You great lords have, so you say, a philosophy of your own, and for yourselves, which is exquisite, refined, accessible to the rich alone, good for all sauces, and which seasons the voluptuousness of life admirably. This philosophy has been extracted from the depths, and unearthed by special seekers. But you are good-natured princes, and you do not think it a bad thing that belief in the good God should constitute the philosophy of the people, very much as the goose stuffed with chestnuts is the truffled turkey of the poor.”

M.Myriel, after giving up his money for the 1000th time to the poor, lecturing the French aristocracy:

“The most beautiful of altars,” he said, “is the soul of an unhappy creature consoled and thanking God.”

Madame Magloire had once remarked, with a sort of gentle malice: “Monseigneur, you who turn everything to account, have, nevertheless, one useless plot. It would be better to grow salads there than bouquets.” “Madame Magloire,” retorted the Bishop, “you are mistaken. The beautiful is as useful as the useful.” He added after a pause, “More so, perhaps.”

Glad to see bishop has a side that appreciates aesthetics, flowers and silver
