Δαφνη Ευτυχια Αρθουρος

"I believe that you may become worthier than you have ever yet been -- worthy to lead a life that may be a blessing. No evil dooms us hopelessly except the evil we love, and desire to continue in, and make no effort to escape from. You have made efforts -- you will go on making them." -- Daniel Deronda to Gwendolen Harleth, in the novel Daniel Deronda (1876) by George Eliot (aka Mary Ann Evans; b. 1819-11-22, d. 1880-12-22)

[To everyone celebrating Ash Wednesday today, may you have a peaceful and spirityually fullfilling Lent.]
