Wisdom

"He who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God. "  -Aeschylus 

I posted earlier about what I'm reading - If you had to guess which of my books this quote comes from you'd probably get it wrong. (Hint: It's Kraukauer). OK that was more than a hint. Still - it's fascinating how much common ground these two seemingly unrelated books cover.
