“I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge. That myth is more potent than history. That dreams are more powerful than facts. That hope always triumphs over experience. That laughter is the only cure for grief. And I believe that love is stronger than death.”

“There is advantage in the wisdom won from pain.”
― Aeschylus, The Oresteia: Agamemnon, The Libation Bearers, The Eumenides
