“You don't have a monopoly on suffering, okay?" I say, my voice rising. "Other people get to be mad about their lives. Your broken leg doesn't make my sprained ankle hurt any less.”
Katie Henry, Heretics Anonymous

Julius Bahnsen

Julius Bahnsen

Rumi

Stephen Crane
“Many workmen Built a huge ball of masonry Upon a mountain-top. Then they went to the valley below, And turned to behold their work. "It is grand," they said; They loved the thing. Of a sudden, it moved: It came upon them swiftly; It crushed them all to blood. But some had opportunity to squeal.”
Stephen Crane, The Black Riders and Other Lines
