The truth is, it benefits no one to live in a world where these things happen.”
― Suzanne Collins, Mockingjay

“He who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep pain, which cannot forget, falls drop by drop upon the heart, until in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom through the awful graces of God.”
