It is the poet and philosopher who provide the community of objectives in which the artist participates. Their chief preoccupation, like the artist, is the expression in concrete form of their notions of reality. Like him, they deal with the verities of time and space, life and death, and the heights of exaltation as well as the depths of despair. The preoccupation with these eternal problems creates a common ground which transcends the disparity in the means used to achieve them.

every positive thing in your life represents a single unique blessing. every negative thing in your life has the opportunity to become a double blessing. for when you turn a negative into a positive, you gain twice. you are no longer burdened with the negative situation and in addition to that, you are strengthened by a new positive force.
