“It's from Rainer Maria Rilke. The whole quote is ‘Right in the difficult we must have our joys, our happiness, our dreams: there against the depth of this background, they stand out, there for the first time we see how beautiful they are.”
― Lynn Rankin-Esquer, Murder, Mess, and the Tangerine Dress
