“Whoever said money can’t buy happiness didn’t know where to shop.”
Gertrude Stein (1874–1946) American art collector and experimental writer of novels, poetry and plays
Henri Barbusse (1873–1935) French novelist

Context: To live is to be happy to live. The usefulness of life — ah! its expansion has not the mystic shapes we vainly dreamed of when we were paralyzed by youth.

It beats for emotion and not for peace. Such is the gravity of the truth.

with self-control. You have given a sufficient proof of your character.
I wish only that you remain as you are.
