Quote of the Day

The work of a mature human being is to carry grief in one hand and gratitude in the other, and to be stretched large by these two things.

-- Francis Weller

Quote of the Day

In order to get over [the pain], I had to eat it and digest it.  I had to be in that zone.  I poured all my heart, all my emotions, all my mental torture into the music.  And maybe I'm moving on.  I selfishly compose for myself, but I don't think it's selfish because we are just human beings.  We do have a lot of differences, but we are much more similar than different.  I really truly believe that my very personal story can reach out to and appeal to a lot of people.

-- Jihye Lee

Quote of the Day

I think sorrow is natural.  And I had a friend once in the age when a psychiatrist thought it was a good idea to give you a lot of drugs if you were going through grieving and sorrow, and then you just wouldn't feel it.  What that means is you never get over it, because you haven't had that experience, which is a very human one, and everyone has it sooner or later.  It's grief.  And since I'm now in the land of windows, I'm the person that they phone and they say, "Will this ever be over?  How do I get through this?"  So one day at a time, but don't expect there to be no sorrow.

-- Margaret Atwood
