Portrait from New York World-Telegram and The Sun Photograph Collection, 1957

“When you have once seen the glow of happiness on the face of a beloved person, you know that a man can have no vocation but to awaken that light on the faces surrounding him. In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.”

~ Albert Camus
