We never know we are beings till we love. And then it is we know the powers and potentialities of human existence.
Jean ToomerThere is no such thing as happiness. Life bends joy and pain, beauty and ugliness, in such a way that no one may isolate them. No one should want to. Perfect joy, or perfect pain, with no contrasting element to define them, would mean a monotony of consciousness, would mean death
