Quote by May Sarton

“Something knots a friendship, or raises the emotional content to a new plane. Some final door must open between two people if they are to become true friends; a total acceptance each of the other has to take place.”

Not a matter of our organs or whether we were born with them or what we do with them. It's this: a particular kind of glory that happens when we share our suffering and are seen.
