"Endurance may outlast hope" (p. 239). 

"The poet Roethke said, 'I learn by going where I have to go.'  It is a sentence that has meant a great deal to me.  Sometimes it tells me that by going where it is necessary for us to go, by following our own path, we learn our way through the world.  Sometimes it tells me that we can only learn our way through the world by just starting out and going" (pp. 253-254, in the Afterword).
