Resisting the Unravelling

It may be raining,
but there's a rainbow above you.

In Another's Eyes

Our Creator would never have made such lovely days, 
and have given us the deep hearts to enjoy them,
above and beyond all thought, 
unless we were meant to be immortal. 

- Nathaniel Hawthorne 

Pleasures

One half of the world 
cannot understand 
the pleasures of the other. 

 - Jane Austen

Origins

Consider your origins:
you were not made to live as brutes, 
but to follow virtue and knowledge. 

- Dante Alighieri
