Know how to replace in your heart, by the happiness of those you love, the happiness that may be wanting to yourself

We must have a passion in life.

Masterpieces are only lucky attempts.

...Je n’ai pas cessé de l’être si c’est d’être jeune que d’aimer toujours !... L’humanité n’est pas un vain mot. Notre vie est faite d’amour, et ne plus aimer c’est ne plus vivre." (I have never ceased to be young, if being young is always loving... Humanity is not a vain word. Our life is made of love, and to love no longer is to live no longer.)

we do not die of anguish, we live on. We continue to suffer. We drink the cup drop by drop.

The beauty that addresses itself to the eyes is only the spell of the moment; the eye of the body is not always that of the soul.

There is only one happiness in this life, to love and be loved.
