When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight. Kahlil Gibran

Search the darkness, don't run from it. Night travelers are full of light. And you are, too; don't leave this companionship. Jelaluddin Rumi

The night is the mother of the day, the winter of the spring, and even upon old decay, the greenest mosses cling. John Greenleaf Whittier

When old words die out on the tongue, new melodies break forth from the heart; and where the old tracks are lost, new country is revealed with its wonders. Rabindranath Tagore
