As long as they could still be moved by a minor chord, or brought to a crisis of tears by scenes of lovers reunited; as long as there was room in their cautious hearts for games of chance, and laughter in the face of God, that must surely be enough to save them, at the last. If not, there was no hope for any living thing. Clive Barker
About This Quote

When Anne was dying, she was moved to tears by a scene of lovers reunited. She was also able to survive the great crisis of her last hour. Let us learn from Anne’s example. Even if we are dealing with something much more serious than a broken heart, it is important that we try to make the best of things.

We should not despair because we are having trouble living our lives through illness or old age; this is where Anne’s courage comes in. When people face pain, tragedy, loss, or death, they often lose hope. We must not lose faith.

No matter how much our bodies or minds may hurt or fail us, there is always room for hope and dreams that can still be fulfilled.
