"There are those, who must first learn loss, despair, and grief.
Of all paths to wisdom, this is the cruelest and longest.
Are you one who must follow such a way?
This even I cannot know. If you are, take heart nonetheless.
Those who reach the end do more than gain wisdom.
As rough wool becomes cloth, and crude clay a vessel,
so do they change and fashion wisdom for others,
and what they give back is greater than what they won.”

And the lightning with its rapid wrath,
And the winds with their swiftness along their path,

And the earth with its starkness:
All these I place,
By God's almighty help and grace
Between myself and the powers of darkness!”
~ Madeleine L'Engle, A Swiftly Tilting Planet

the more we add to the measure of our hearts.”
~ Lloyd Alexander, The Black Cauldron

“If a person has ugly thoughts, it begins to show on the face.
And when that person has ugly thoughts every day,
every week, every year, the face gets uglier and uglier
until you can hardly bear to look at it.

A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly.
You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth

like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.”
