What's that Les Mis line from??

Question

In Les Miserables, there is a line that says, "to love another person is to see the face of god". I know I have heard this somewhere else, like in a musical or song, but I cannot for the life of me remember where....help!

Answer 1

You mean besides in the musical? It is in both the book and the musical.

VALJEAN, FANTINE, EPONINE

Take my hand

And lead me to salvation

Take my love

For love is everlasting

And remember

The truth that once was spoken

To love another person

Is to see the face of God.

Answer 2

In the finale, Jean Valjean and Fantine and Eponine say, "And remember the truth that once was spoken - to love another person is to see the face of God."
