"Make your peace with it! Now Hell and Heaven grapple on our backs, and all our old pretense is ripped away-make your peace! Peace. It is a providence, and no great charge; we are only what we always were, but naked now. Aye, naked! And the wind, God's icy wind, will blow!"
-Proctor, The Crucible (emphasis mine)
I don't know why I like this quote so much, but I feel like it rings true somewhere in my heart, even though I'm not a Salem witch (as in the book). You can take from it what you will, just felt like sharing it. :)

Very nice.
It reminds me of what Dhu-l-Nun said when asked, "What is the end of a mystic?" he replied, "When he is as he was where he was before he was."
:D
