“It was so risky and so scary, and yet at the same time, so beautiful. Maybe the truth was, it shouldn't be easy to be amazing. Then everything would be. It's the things you fight for and struggle with before earning that have the greatest worth. When something's difficult to come by, you'll do that much more to make sure it's even harder -if not impossible- to lose.”
― Sarah Dessen, Along for the Ride

“The greater the obstacle, the more glory in overcoming it.”
― Molière

“Those who don't know how to suffer are the worst off. There are times when the only correct thing we can do is to bear out troubles until a better day.”
― Deng Ming-Dao, Everyday Tao: Living with Balance and Harmony

“Well, if it can be thought, it can be done, a problem can be overcome,”
― E.A. Bucchianeri, Brushstrokes of a Gadfly
