     The real test of a man is not how well he plays the role he has

     The first step toward the capacity for hope is 
     the recognition of where we are. 
     If we refuse to recognize where we are, 
     then everything we do is futile.

     but our lives will only ever always
     continue to be

     that has less to do with pain
     and more to do with beauty.
