“It is alarming to feel the soul
Leap to the surface and find no sheltering wall.”
― May Sarton, Selected Poems

“Forces beyond your control can take away everything you possess except one thing, your freedom to choose how you will respond to the situation.”
― Victor Frankl

“What we have not has made us what we are.
Those surface consolations have to go.”
― May Sarton, Selected Poems

“One has only to set a loved human being against the fact that we are all in peril all the time to get back a sense of proportion. What does anything matter compared to the reality of love and its span, so brief at best, maintained against such odds?”
― May Sarton, Journal of a Solitude
