About This Quote
There is a secret medicine given only to those who hurt so hard they can't hope.The hopers would feel slighted if they knew. The hurt that one feels in life is a treasure that should be treasured and used for our benefit. It is a kind of medicine that heals us and gives us a chance to get up from our bed of pain. People who have been hurt know this, and they take this burden to their graves with them. But the hurtful ones get up from their beds of pain, too, and go on living.
