“ Happiness is composed of misfortunes avoided. ”
We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorns have roses.
~ Alphonse Karr
The more things change the more they remain the same.
Love is the most terrible, and also the most generous of the passions; it is the only one which includes in its dreams the happiness of someone else.
If men knew all that women think, they would be twenty times more audacious.
