One of the sweet things about pain and sorrow is that they show us how well we are loved, how much kindness there is in the world, and how easily we can make others happy in the same way when they need help and sympathy.
Louisa May AlcottIf you feel your value lies in being merely decorative, I fear that someday you might find yourself believing thatโs all that you really are. Time erodes all such beauty, but what it cannot diminish is the wonderful workings of your mind: Your humor, your kindness, and your moral courage. These are the things I cherish so in you. I so wish I could give my girls a more just world. But I know youโll make it a better place." -- Marmee, Little Women
