George Sand...Je nโai pas cessรฉ de lโรชtre si cโest dโรชtre jeune que dโaimer toujours !... Lโhumanitรฉ nโest pas un vain mot. Notre vie est faite dโamour, et ne plus aimer cโest 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.)
