Thanks for sharing that, Petunia. I like your quote. I get a lot of insight from Kahlil Gibrans quotes. They say a lot. Here are some.
"One may not reach the dawn save by the path of the night."
"Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars."
and
"He who has not looked on Sorrow will never see Joy."
--Kahlil Gibran
