“Darling, if I think of all I miss now, I will go crazy. I should not think of that. I only want to think of all that I still have, and then I am rich. Your spirit is always around me, in your diary, our letters, all the things you got for our household. How proud we were of that! And the nearly six years! O God, I thank you for those years. If I never had met you, I would now not have all the sorrow; but I would have missed these riches -- and do these years not abundantly balance the lonely years I face without you?” IfsThinkingWantShouldYearsStillsFacesSpiritRichCrazyMissingProudBalanceSorrowMetsSixLonelyLettersRichesHouseholdDiariesDarlingWithout You Author:Diet Eman

“There is a very holy and a very terrible isolation for the conscience of every man who seeks to read the destiny in affairs for others as well as for himself, for a nation as well as for individuals. That privacy no man can intrude upon. That lonely search of the spirit for the right perhaps no man can assist.” MenWellsSpiritIndividualNationsDestinyLonelinessTerribleHolyConscienceLonelyAffairEvery ManIsolationPrivacy Book:Wilson, Volume V: Campaigns for Progressivism and Peace, 1916-1917 Source: Wilson, Volume V: Campaigns for Progressivism and Peace, 1916-1917
