Random quote of the day:

“I can’t get around this dilemma: I have a horror of troubles, but they whip me up, they make me talented. Peace and well-being, on the contrary, paralyze me. Either be a nobody, or everlastingly plagued.

Random quote of the day:

“Perhaps all our earthly trials will appear foolish to us after a while; perhaps they seem so now to angels. But we are ourselves…and this is now, not some time to come, a long, long way off. And we are not angels, to be comforted by seeing the ends for which everything is sent.”

—Elizabeth Gaskell, Wives and Daughters
