"I wish you everything good. I see great sadness in your eyes (do I imagine it?) but that seems to me inevitable and probably right. Sadness but no hardness. You must have moments of joy, or you could not live as violently as you do. It’s the one vitamin pill that no one has yet bottled, and which is essential: joy. I wish you that brief, rare, magical shining – you deserve it."
~Martha Gellhorn, from Selected Letters
