Days [ ) Without | Mark Twain, 1835-1910

Robert Doisneau, Bathing in the Seine, Paris, July 1949

“What is joy without sorrow? what is success without failure? what is a win without a loss? what is health without illness? you have to experience each if you are to appreciate the other. there is always going to be suffering. it’s how you look at your suffering, how you deal with it, that will define you.”

Mark Twain, 1835-1910
