From the author, Marcel Proust -
The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes.
Happiness is beneficial for the body, but it is grief that develops the powers of the mind.
Let us be grateful to people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.
