“This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed.
But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.”
― Anonymous, The Gospel According to John

“To live is to suffer. To become fully human is to overcome suffering by allowing it to give us wings.

Changing your attitude can turn a burden into a blessing.”
