Quote by Karen Marie Moning

Life didn't explode in the sunshine and pretty places. Life took the strongest root with a little bit of rain and with a whole lot of shit for fertilizer. Although love could grow in times of peace, it tempered in battle.

Life didn't explode in the sunshine and pretty places. Life

Summary

This quote highlights the idea that life's growth and strength are often derived from difficult and challenging circumstances. It suggests that while pleasant and peaceful conditions may contribute to the growth of love, it is through facing and enduring hardships that love is truly tested and strengthened. The analogy of rain and fertilizer symbolizes the importance of struggle and adversity in fostering personal and emotional growth, emphasizing that without these challenges, life may not be as resilient or love as enduring.

One receives as reward for much ennui, despondency, boredom --such as a solitude without friends, books, duties, passions must bring with it --those quarter-hours of profoundest contemplation within oneself and nature.
