Romantic Love Quotes And Sayings Biography
Source (Google.com.pk)Love in a Scriptural sense is not a soft, sentimental emotion. It is a deliberate act of my will. It means that I am willing to lay down my life, lay myself out, put myself out on behalf of another.
Phillip Keller
Short Biography
To love is not to experience a particular sensation in the heart; that emotion is but a reflex phenomenon, a detail of love at the least. To love is to wish for the good, it is to give the best of one's self for the good of another; it does not mean grasping for one's self; love means giving one's self.
Maurice Landrieux
The incentive to peacemaking is love, but it degenerates into appeasement whenever justice is ignored. To forgive and to ask for forgiveness are both costly exercises. All authentic Christian peacemaking exhibits the love and justice - and so the pain - of the cross.

Love is an act of endless forgiveness.

Biography
Faith is believing He, the miracle worker, can turn my stone-cold indifference into a fire of love toward certain "unlovables".
Pamela Reeve
So you say you can't take it, the price is too high. The feelings are gone it seems the rivers run dry. You never imagined it could turn out so rough. You give and give and give and still it's never enough. Your emotions have vanished that once held a thrill, you wonder if love could be alive in you still. But that ring on your finger was put there to stay, you'll never forget the words you promised that day. Jesus didn't die for you because it was fun, He hung there for love because it had to be done, and inspite of the anguish his word was fulfiled, cause love is not a feeling it's an act of your will.

Victor Marie Hugo (1802-1885), was a French poet, novelist, and playwright. One of his very famous works is the novel Les Miserables in which he portrays the life of the less fortunate. One of the characters in this book is Fantine, the mother of Cossette, who, in order to support herself and her daughter turns to the only mode of bringing in greater sums of money for women at the time, prostitution.( for more on Hugo's litererary depictions click here) As one reads Hugo's biography it is possible to see that perhaps such characters did not grow fully from his imagination. Victor Hugo had a large sexual appetite and he satiated it throughout his life with many different women.

Adele Foucher (Bulloz; Maison de Victor Hugo) 2. for source click here
The Romantic life of Hugo began when as a teenager; he fell in love with a neighbor's daughter, Adele Foucher. His mother discouraged the romance, believing that her son should marry into a finer family but after his mother's death he did marry Adele. Together they had five children and it seemed as though the stage for their life was set. What more could a couple ask for, a happy marriage and many children? Apparently this couple wanted more because they were both guilty of infidelity.
A name that is mentioned in almost every biography of Hugo is Juliette Drouet. Around 1831 Hugo's wife, Adele Hugo became romantically involved with a well-known critic and good friend of Victor's named Sainte-Beuve. It was around this time that Victor became involved with the actress Juliette Drouet, who soon became his mistress. Supported by a small pension from Hugo, Drouet became his unpaid secretary and traveling companion for the next fifty years. She is mentioned often in the biography of Victor Hugo and their letters, which have been recorded, are graphic and passionate. Though Hugo would stray in the future he returned to Juliette many times. In every piece on Hugo's life Juliette is mentioned but she was certainly not the only lover that he had.

Leonie Biard is a woman who is not so often mentioned even though her exploits with the famous writer eventually landed her in prison for adultery. Although both Hugo and Briard were married they began to see eachother. Their encounters did not remain private for very long however because On July fourth Hugo and Biard were found "in criminal conversation and in uncrumpled attire meaning that they were comitting adultery and were wearing no clothes. While his lover went to jail Hugo left the station a free man because he was pair de France and was thus immune to prosecution" (4. for source click here). When she heard the news Mme Hugo was pleased that Juliette had a rival took up Leonie's case.
Alice Ozy was also linked to Victor Hugo through their sexual exploits. Strangely enough Hugo met this woman because his son was besotted with her and was angered by her unfaithfulness. He went to his father and asked for help in fixing the situation. Hugo fixed it by sending erotic odes to Alice who eventually succumbed to his charm and joined the list of Hugo's conquests much to the anger of his son.
Victor Hugo's biography contains much more along these lines with enough sexual exploits to rival any novel. Though some might frown upon his many lovers others, like Graham who wrote one biography, empathized with him and seemed to think that his lusty love life simply helped to fuel his art.
"Sex for him was a form of contemplation" he found his outlet for contemplation in the many affairs that he had with actresses, wives and courtesans. To him "fallen women and courtesans were a pleasant antidote to the hypocrisy of high society." He was quoted for saying "They have as much heart soul and spirit as society women but are frank where society women are prudish." (4. for source click here)
In the case of Victor Hugo I think it is safe to say that he did not have contempt for prostitution. In fact I would go so far as to say that not only did he patronize many courtesans and prostitutes but he empathized with them and their plight.
