I've continued to recognize the power individuals have to change virtually anything and everything in their lives in an instant. I've learned that the resources we need to turn our dreams into reality are within us, merely waiting for the day  when we decide to wake up and claim our birthright.

Jean de La Fontaine

Jean de La Fontaine

Jean de La Fontaine (July 8, 1621 - April 13, 1695) was the most famous French fabulist and probably the most widely read French poet of the 17th century. [ citation needed ]

According to Flaubert, he was the only French poet to understand and master the texture of the French language before Hugo. A set of postage stamps celebrating La Fontaine and the Fables was issued by France in 1995. A film of his life has been released in France in April 2007 (Jean de La Fontaine - le défi starring Laurent Deutsch).
