“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths.

― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

“It seems strange that my life should end in such a terrible place, but for three years I had roses, and apologized to no one.”
