It was, he thought, the difference between being dragged into the arena to face a battle to the death and walking into the arena with your head held high. Some people, perhaps, would say that there was little to choose between the two ways, but Dumbledore knew — ‘and so do I’, thought Harry, with a rush of fierce pride, ‘and so did my parents’ — that there was all the difference in the world.
— from “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince”

But you can’t blow out a fire

— Brother David Steindl-Rast

The reason people find it so hard to be happy is that they always see the past better than it was, the present worse than it is, and the future less resolved than it will be.

Marcel Pagnol (via littlemiss) (via thechiefactor)
