“I love you, I've always loved you... I'm sorry, I was selfish in the past. I was the one who didn't think about what you wanted or what you were afraid of. I wanted to protect you in my own way, but I didn't know... didn't know..." Didn't know you would stumble after me to make up for eight years of lost time, that you would forsake the best of your youth trying to bring me back. I didn't know you were sure of your choice at such a young age--that you would devote a lifetime to one person. I didn't know that even after enduring so much, you would still walk beside me, even into hell.”

“When anything has to be borne there is at once added the power to bear it steadfastly if we will only reflect calmly on this power and also take time to notice that which wants to manifest itself in the soul. When something painful appears, and when at the same time there is a sure feeling in the soul that forces are to be found which will make the pain bearable and with which we are able to connect ourselves, we are then able to take up such a position towards experiences, which would be unbearable in the course of our ordinary life, so that we seem to be the spectator of ourselves in all such experiences.”
