Beautiful People

"The most beautiful people 

we have known are those who

have known defeat, known suffering,

known struggle,

known loss,

and have found their way out of the depths.

These people have an appreciation,

a sensitivity, and an understanding of life

that fills them 

with compassion, gentleness, 

and a deep loving concern.

Beautiful people do not just happen."

~Elizabeth Kubler-Ross
