"This is the reason why we never collapse. The outward man does indeed suffer wear and tear, but every day the inward man receives fresh strength. These little troubles (which are really so transitory) are winning for us a permanent, glorious and solid reward out of all proportion to our pain. For we are looking all the time not at the visible things but at the invisible. The visible things are transitory: it is the invisible things that are really permanent." 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 “In every man there are two hemispheres of light and dark, two worlds discrete, two countries of his soul’s adventure. And one of these is the dark land, the other half of his heart’s home, the unvisited domain of his father’s earth. And this is the land he knows the best. It is the earth unvisited – and it is his, as nothing he has seen can ever be. It is the world intangible that he has never touched – yet more his own than something he has owned forever.” Thomas Wolfe, The Web and the Rock Clearing Winter Storm, Ansel Adams
