Jean Vanier Quotes About Celebration

Quotes about: Celebration

• A society which discards those who are weak and non-productive risks exaggerating the development of reason, organisation, aggression and the desire to dominate. It becomes a society without a heart, without kindness - a rational and sad society, lacking celebration, divided within itself and given to competition, rivalry and, finally, violence.

  Jean Vanier

  Kindness, Heart, Competition

  Jean Vanier (2008). “Man and Woman, God Made Them”, p.189, Paulist Press

• When we begin to believe that there is greater joy in working with and for others, rather than just for ourselves, then our society will truly become a place of celebration.

  Jean Vanier

  Believe, Joy, Our Society

  Jean Vanier (2008). “Becoming Human”, p.67, Paulist Press

• At the heart of the celebration, there are the poor. If [they] are excluded, it is not longer a celebration. [...] A celebration must always be a festival of the poor.
