Printable Vintage Art: Marie Pauline Galichon by Edouard Louis Dubufe

May you walk gently, friend of light, with a heart unarmored yet strong. May your kindness be your way of saying yes to life again and again — until one day you discover that your simple acts of goodness have quietly transformed the very world that once seemed so cold.
― An Marke

In art, as in love, tenderness is what gives strength.
― Oscar Wilde
