My husband has reminded me that one should not be so caught up in the pursuit of happiness, that they forget to be happy. C'est vrai. (my french is a little rusty) And that brings to mind another notable quote: "Now and then it's good to pause in our pursuit of happiness and just be happy." - Guillaume Apollinaire
Of course this is the same French poet that was arrested in 1911 for the theft of the Mona Lisa ... and was later released having convinced the police he did not commit the crime.
I've often wondered if he did know the Italian, Vincenzo Peruggia, that stole the Mona Lisa for purposes of taking from the French what he believed had been stolen from the Italians. For you see, Guillaume Apollinaire was Italian by birth. (C'est vrai, quoi!)
