"We mortals, men and women, devour many a
disappointment between breakfast and dinner-time; keep back the tears and look
a little pale about the lips, and in answer to inquiries say, ’Oh, nothing!’
Pride helps; and pride is not a bad thing when it only urges us to hide our
hurts— not to hurt others." — George Eliot, Middlemarch (1874)
