I posted this in 2001 while in emotional agony.
"If people bring so much courage to this world
the world has to kill them to break them, so of
course it kills them. The world breaks every one and
afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those
that will not break it kills. It kills the very good
and the very gentle and the very brave
impartially."-- A Farwell to Arms by Hemingway
