“Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.”

“You pray in your distress and in your need; would that you might pray also in the fullness of your joy and in your days of abundance.”

“Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding.”

“Between your birth and your death, wander through this world in wonder.”

“To live is so startling it leaves little time for anything else.”

“To see a world in a grain of sand and a heaven in a wild flower.”
