Quotes, poetry and music to help us all

Hi Sane Forumites

Just wanted to start a thread where people can share quotes, poems or parts of literature that can help them get through the tough times.

Feel free to tag anyone.

My contribution today is from Oscar Wilde:

"What seems to us as bitter trial are often blessings in disguise"

Much Madness is divinest Sense -
To a discerning Eye -
Much Sense - the starkest Madness -
’Tis the Majority
In this, as all, prevail -

Demur - you’re straightway dangerous -
And handled with a Chain -
- Emily Dickenson

Crawling in my skin - Linkin Park

Crawling in my skin
These wounds, they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real
There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
Consuming, confusing
This lack of self control I fear is never ending
Controlling
I can't seem
To find myself again
My walls are closing in
(Without a sense of confidence I'm convinced
That there's just too much pressure to take)
I've felt this way before
So insecure
Crawling in my skin
These wounds, they will not heal
Fear is how I fall

Discomfort, endlessly has pulled itself upon me
Distracting, reacting
Against my will I stand beside my own reflection
It's haunting how I can't seem
