This book is truly beautiful and inspirational. Drawing upon a wide variety of sources, from Lao Tsu to Albert Camus, the author offers poetic and inspiring quotes and verses to remind us that we are not alone, and that the human spirit has the power and strength to persevere. The book is neither sappy nor saccharine, as some of these books tend to be. The poetic selections are uplifting, hopeful, with a touch of melancholy. An example of one of the quotes: "In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer." (Albert Camus)
Excellent repertoire of beautiful words from many writers.

This is a well researched book on many topics closest to the human heart and the human experience. It gives great insight into pain and facilitates healing. The poems are not only from traditional wonderful English fare of Shakespeare, Keats and the Bible but also includes unique inspirational writings translated from other languages. This makes it a uniquely beautiful work.
