“We may well call St Joseph the martyr of the hidden life, for no one ever suffered as he did. But why so much sorrow in his life? Simply because the holier a person is, the more he must suffer for the love and glory of God. Suffering is the flowering of God’s grace in a soul and the triumph of the soul’s love for God.”St. Peter Julian Eymard

“As all partings foreshadow the great final one, – so, empty rooms, bereft of a familiar presence, mournfully whisper what your room and what mine must one day be.” 
― Charles Dickens, Bleak House

Only the fool, fixed in his folly, may think he can turn the wheel on which he turns.” T.S. Eliot

“To define is to limit.”– Oscar Wilde
