Grief turns out to be a place none of us know until we reach it... We might expect if the death is sudden to feel shock. We do not expect this shock to be obliterative, dislocating to both body and mind. We might expect that we will be prostrate, inconsolable, crazy with loss. We do not expect to be literally crazy, cool customers who believe that their husband is about to return and need his shoes.

Think, now: where would your good be if there were no evil and what would the world look like without shadows? Shadows are thrown by people and things. There's the shadow of my sword, for instance. But shadows are also cast by trees and living things. Do you want to strip the whole globe by removing every tree and every creature to satisfy your fantasy of a bare world? You're stupid.

It is in the thick of a calamity that one gets hardened to the truth, in other words to silence.

No class of man is altogether bad, but each has its own faults and virtues.
