Duchess Caracciolodi Briènza:
Author name René de Masny, is known for her aphorisms and thoughts on life and love. For example, she said, ‘Love without passion is like a garden without flowers’ and ‘Happiness consists of many dreams and a little reality’.
She is also known for saying, ‘A life without love is like a landscape without sun’ and ‘Never has a winter, no matter how harsh, prevented roses from blooming in summer’.

A life without love is like a landscape without sun; if there are no shadows, there are no great lights.
