    “Have the mind of a fox,
    the heart of a lion,
    the tongue of a serpent,
    the flair of a swan,
    and the soul of a dove.

    Have the fortitude of a camel,
    the courage of a bear,
    the strength of a bull,
    the fierceness of a wolf,
    and the might of an elephant.”

    Albert Camus
    “My dear,
    In the midst of hate, I found there was, within me, an invincible love.
    In the midst of tears, I found there was, within me, an invincible smile.
    In the midst of chaos, I found there was, within me, an invincible calm.
    I realized, through it all, that…
    In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer.
    And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there’s something stronger – something better, pushing right back.

    Truly yours,
    Albert Camus”

    I like this because only one part is usually quoted but the full quote has such symmetry.”
