In the midst of hate,

I discovered within me an invincible love.

In the midst of tears,

I discovered within me an invincible smile.

In the midst of chaos,

I discovered an invincible calm.

I realized through it all that …

in the midst of winter, there was an invincible summer.

For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me there is something stronger – something better, pushing right back.

–Albert Camus
