“Every day became an epic of endurance.”
“A year shall I endure for every day that passes until you return.”
“All of us, each and every one, lives a life that is, in its own right, an epic.”
“When every man has realized that his birth is a defeat, existence, endurable at last, will seem like the day after a surrender, like the relief and the repose of the conquered.”
“And how could we endure to live and let time pass if we were always crying for one day or one year to come back--if we did not know that every day in a life fills the whole life with expectation and memory and that these are that day?”
“For the longest time all I cared about was getting through the day. When your every breath was an effort, that quickly became the extent of your expectations.”
