Help me through it

I despair

Because I remember, I despair. 

Because I remember, I have the duty to reject despair. 

-Elie Wiesel

Pain that cannot forget

He who learns must suffer.
And even in our sleep
pain that cannot forget
falls drop by drop upon the heart,
and in our own despair,
against our will,
comes wisdom to us
by the grace of God.

Aeschylus
