Quote 8

The world is not respectable; it is mortal, tormented, confused, deluded forever; but it is shot through with beauty, with love, with glints of courage and laughter; and in these, the spirit blooms timidly, and struggles to the light amid the thorns.
~George Santayana
George Santayana is saying that even though life can be very tough at times there is still beauty, love, courage and laughter and even though there are those times that seem like you will never get through it we can still get through those times for better days.
