Whatever can be threatened, whatever can be shaken, whatever you fear cannot stand, is destined to crash. Do not go down with the ship. Let that which is destined to become the past slip away. Believe that the real you is that which beckons from the future. If it is a sadder you, it will be a wiser one. And dawn will follow the darkness sooner or later. Rebirth can never come without death. Robert M. Price
About This Quote

When people are in a position to lose something, they immediately begin to worry about the loss. They start thinking about how much they might miss out on if they don’t have it. They think about how badly they might feel if they lose their job or their home or any other thing that could be lost to them. However, when something is destined to become the past, people should not worry about losing it.

Instead, people should believe that the real them is that which beckons from the future. If it is a sadder person, it will be a wiser one. And dawn will follow the darkness sooner or later.

Rebirth can never come without death.
