It's no wonder most people never get to be what they want to be. They just get ground down. Haruki Murakami
All my life, I'd been on the receiving end of my mother's endless tenderness and vigilant care. Being allowed to care for her during her recovery was a gift? the most rewarding experience in my life. Kristin Chenoweth
Besides, it's the first gift that's always the hardest to pay back. I wouldn't even have been here to do it if you hadn't helped me then. Suzanne Collins
They're a dark people with a gift for suffering way past their deserving. It's said that without whiskey to soak and soften the world, they'd kill themselves. (Irish) John Steinbeck
Who knows a man's name, holds that man's life in his keeping. Thus to Ged, who had lost faith in himself, Vetch had given him that gift that only a friend can give, the proof of unshaken, unshakeable trust. Ursula K. Le Guin
William Butler Yeats quote: "Hearts are not had as a gift but hearts are earned. By those..."
Hearts are not had as a gift but hearts are earned. By those who are not entirely beautiful. William Butler Yeats

I realized that the world does not represent a struggle at all, or a predaceous... Vladimir Nabokov
