Brothers, love is a teacher, but a hard one to obtain: learning to love is hard and we pay dearly for it. It takes hard work and a long apprenticeship, for it is not just for a moment that we must learn to love, but forever.
(Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Brothers Karamazov)

Longfellow Serenade
If we could read the secret history of our enemies we should find in each man’s life sorrow and suffering enough to disarm all hostility.
— Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
