Bernard CornwellLife is a jest of the Gods and there is no justice. You must learn to laughโฆ or else you'll weep yourself to death.

Know that their voice can make your heart miss a beat and that their company is all your happiness can ever desire and that their absence will leave your soul alone, bereft and lost.
