Fyodor Dostoevsky, from a letter featured in Letters of Fyodor Michailovitch Dostoevsky to his Family & Friends
Norwegian Wood, Haruki Murakami
There is nothing poetic in sadness. No salvation in pain.
You won't ease the suffering by running away.

The fear.
The grief.
The rage.
The sorrow.
Let it slip.
Nothing is everlasting but everything is eternal.
Maybe you fear death but
you're still about to be born.

Tangled up in our daily lifes we believe everything that happens is important. That every bad thing that happened is proof that the universe is against us. But it's not.
We are it's children.
We are the same.
