So Iwaswas reading a lot of goodbooksbooks back in 2011 and apparently shared a lot of quotes on facebook, and the "on this day" has been prettyawesomeawesome all week. This is my favorite one so far.
"The world is not respectable; it is mortal, tormented, confused, deluded forever; but it is shot through with beauty, with love, with glints of courage and laughter; and in these, the spirit blooms timidly, and struggles to the light amid the thorns."
George Santayana
