"My father was a painter and craftsman and he shared his love of art with me. I believe that everything that is artistic is beautiful: theater, picture frames, poems, paintings, flowers, songs. In a person, it's the character, the silhouette, the smile and the eyes that count. That said, my biggest regret is not getting an education. Doors open for you when you're educated. Otherwise you feel shame. Regardless of the situation, I would advise young women to educate themselves." Marie-Berthe Paquette, 102 years old, Montreal, 2016. (Arianne Clément/GroundTruth)
