Thank you for the reminder of one of my favorite quotes of all time. I saw this on a teacher's desk once and it helped shaped who I am today.

Another one I love:

Deep in their roots all flowers keep the light. ~Theodore Roethke

I ran across that one when I was coming to terms with my daughter's alcoholism. It felt like it was affirming that she is the loving, sparkling girl who knows the truth; it's inside of her, and it will always be in there, even though it may be deeply buried.
