My mother always told me the best way to learn to deal with a man was to learn to ride a mule. She said they have about equal brains most of the time. Sometimes the mule is smarter.
Robert Jordan
It has been said that time heals all wounds, I don't agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue, and the pain lessens, but is never gone.
Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy

Yiyun Li
Then welcome each rebuff That turns earth's smoothness rough, Each sting that bids nor sit nor stand, but go Be our joys three-parts pain Strive, and hold cheap the strain Learn, nor account the pang dare, never grudge the throe.
Robert Browning
