Quotation of the Day for June 26, 2011



"But for sorrow there is no remedy provided by nature; it is often occasioned by accidents irreparable, and dwells upon objects that have lost or changed their existence; it requires what it cannot hope, that the laws of the universe should be repealed; that the dead should return, or the past should be recalled."

- Samuel Johnson, in his essay "The Proper Means of Regulating Sorrow".
