"Life moves on, whether we act as cowards or heroes. Life has 
no other discipline to impose, if we would but realize it, than to 
accept life unquestioningly. Everything we shut our eyes to, 
everything we run away from, everything we deny, denigrate 
or despise, serves to defeat us in the end. What seems nasty, 
painful, evil, can become a source of beauty, joy and strength, 
if faced with an open mind. Every moment is a golden one for 
him who has the vision to recognize it as such."

                                   - Henry Miller
