It is not revolutions and upheavals that clear the road to better days,
but revelations, and lavishness of someone's soul inspired, and ablaze.
--Boris Pasternak, poet
If you aren't familiar with Boris Pasternak, he was a Russian poet who wrote Doctor Zhivago, arguably one of the most beautiful and poignant love stories ever. I saw this today and was reminded of how that story changed the way I thought about love as a girl. I read it again as a 30-something year old woman and the themes of love and deep devotion still rang true for me.
