A string of moments

Posted by PJ under happiness, joy, quote of the day
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

 

“The world is a cruel place…and compassion had to be tempered with a keen eye for safety, survival, because nothing was ever safe. Nothing ever sacred. Nothing, that is, except moments. Moments of joy, of love; peace and good food and warmth at a table surrounded by those you cared about. Moments like those could be counted, each one precious. Beyond that, a mystery.”

—Marjorie M. Liu, The Red Heart of Jade
