This afternoon I received a beautiful letter from one of my oldest childhood friends. She ended the letter with the following quote:

“The best thing for being sad… is to learn something. That is the only thing that never fails… You may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins… you may see the world about you devastated… There is only one thing for then – to learn… That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting.”           – T.H.
