And the person marks the moment with the flashing insight thinking... This is special. I should remember this

Thorns and stings and those such things just make stronger our angel wings.

Terri Guillemets

He never even thought of tenderness and emotion; his considerations about Durham remained cold. Durham didn't dislike him, he was sure. That was all he wanted. One thing at a time. He didn't so much as have hopes, for hope distracts, and he had a great deal to see to.

E.M. Forster
