Adversity is like a strong wind. I don't mean just that it holds us back from places we might otherwise go. It also tears away from us all but the things that cannot be torn, so that afterward we see ourselves as we really are.
Arthur Golden
Image
Neither you nor I can know your destiny. You may never know it! Destiny isn't always like a party at the end of the evening. Sometimes it's nothing more than struggling through life from day to day.

When we fight upstream against a rocky undercurrent, every foothold takes on a kind of urgency.
Arthur Golden
Image
I worried she might spend an afternoon chatting with me about the sights and then wish me best of luck.

I had to wonder if men were so blinded by beauty that they would feel privileged to live their lives with an actual demon, so long as it was a beautiful demon.
Arthur Golden
Image
