In my travels, from land to land, I never encountered the paradise I had hoped for. But sometimes, at least, I captured a few glimpses of earthly happiness from afar, and now this has a greater value for me than any imaginary paradise

Additional quotes by Sofia Yablonska

“Я стала пояснювати йому різниці між нами та руськими, нарисувала мапу України та її сусідніх країн, щоб він краще зрозумів її положення, врешті, сказала я, що нас є біля сорока мільйонів та що Україна у півтора раза більша за Францію. Ці всі пояснення я знаю краще за молитву, бо частенько трапляється мені повторювати їх французам та іншим чужинцям, що нічого не знають про наше існування.“

Translation: I started explaining to him the difference between the Russians and us, drew a map of Ukraine and its neighbouring countries, so that he better understood its location. I told him that there were about forty million Ukrainians and that Ukraine was one and a half times bigger than France. All these explanations I know better than a prayer, because I often have to repeat them to the French and other strangers who know nothing about our existence.
