"To love deeply in one direction makes us more loving in all others"

These are just a few of her notable works that were published by a close friend, Falloux; notable works include Old Age, Resignation and her letters. Through her many guests and contacts it is believed that she was very influential on French Catholicism and left many deeply inspiring and religious quotes in her wake.
