Two things stand like stone.
Kindness in another's trouble,
Courage in your own.”

“My kind of loneliness now has no cure, you know; it is something I expect to live with until I die. Friends are heavenly kind, sometimes fun; it would be fatal not to have them. But I by no means need or want daily contact; perhaps it takes as much out of me as it gives, perhaps takes more.”
― Martha Gellhorn
