Random quote of the day:

“I can’t get around this dilemma: I have a horror of troubles, but they whip me up, they make me talented. Peace and well-being, on the contrary, paralyze me. Either be a nobody, or everlastingly plagued.

—Jules Renard, The Journal of Jules Renard, 1889 (tr. Louise Bogan and Elizabeth Roget)

Here on Earth

Random quote of the day:

“Perhaps all our earthly trials will appear foolish to us after a while; perhaps they seem so now to angels. But we are ourselves…and this is now, not some time to come, a long, long way off. And we are not angels, to be comforted by seeing the ends for which everything is sent.”

—Elizabeth Gaskell, Wives and Daughters

(Thanks to sartorias for this quote.)
