Spring is the season of gaiety, and winter of terror; in spring the heart of tranquility dances to the melody of the groves, and the eye of benevolence sparkles at the sight of happiness and plenty: in winter, compassion melts at universal calamity, and the tear of softness starts at the wailing of hunger and the cries of the creation in distress — Samuel Johnson

Forgiveness may be described as a decision to make four promises:
"I will not think about this incident."
"I will not bring up this incident again or use it against you."
"I will not talk to others about this incident."
"I will not allow this incident to stand between us or hinder our personal relationship."

The attempt was all. — Ian McEwan

New York lies
far beyond these islands, this
labyrinth. There,
once you emptied a subway coach
by simply closing your eyes
and chanting a summons
to the mountain gods. — Maria Luisa B. Aguilar-Carino
