A veil hangs between the two opposites, a mere slip of a thing that is transparent to warn us or comfort us. You hate now but look through this veil and see the possibility of love; you're sad now but look through to the other side and see happiness. Absolute composure to a complete mess - it happens so quickly, all in the blink of an eye. Cecelia Ahern
About This Quote

The veil of ignorance, a separation between good and evil. When you look through to the other side, you see a complete mess. It's a whirlwind that goes from bad to worse in a split second. But if you can hang on to your emotions for just a moment, when the whirlwind blows itself out, there is a clean slate for you to begin anew.

In life, things are often not what they seem. You may hate now, but in the blink of an eye, you might see something beautiful. You might be sad now but if you look through the veil of sadness and see behind it, there is happiness awaiting you at the end.
