Always his course had been swayed by what he thought he should do and never by what he wanted with his whole soul to do. He put all that aside now with a gesture of impatience. He had lived always in the future, and the present always, always had slipped through his fingers. ... It might be that to surrender to happiness was to accept defeat, but it was a defeat better than many victories.

Of Human Bondage profound, touching and so true that it hurt to read it. It is a wonderful book about learning how to live life, and how to pick yourself up and keep going when all seems hopeless.
Thanks so much for nominating it, sun surfer.
