In the end, there is but one answer to every question, whether it is spit at me or made as gentlest inquiry: I was I.
Elizabeth Berg The Dream Lover: A Novel of George Sand
Suffering has its place in the scheme of things. It serves a purpose even though the sufferer may be entirely free from the taint of sin...
