I am not going to be licked by tragedy, as life is a challenge, and we must carry on and work for the living as well as mourn for the dead.
I know not age, nor weariness nor defeat.
It is selfish to concern oneself with tragedies.
Birds sing after a storm; why shouldn't people feel as free to delight in whatever sunlight remains to them?
In my life, I am often reminded that there is a destiny that rules over us, because no one whom I know about or whom I read about seems to be completely happy during a long time.
I am just an old-fashioned girl.
