“Life moves on, whether we act as cowards or heroes. Life has no other discipline to impose, if we would but realize it, than to accept life unquestioningly.

What seems nasty, painful, evil, can become a source of beauty, joy, and strength, if faced with an open mind”. ― Henry Miller

“That’s how I can grasp my mourning. Not directly in solitude, empirically, etc.; I seem to have a kind of ease, of control that makes people think I’m suffering less than they would have imagined. But it comes over me when our love for each other is torn apart once again. The most painful point at the most abstract moment” . . . (Roland Barthes, Mourning Diary)
