The highest happiness and the deepest misery (Thornton Wilder)


  When God loves a creature, he wants the creature to know the highest happiness and the deepest misery… He wants him to know all that being alive can bring.  That is his best gift… There is no happiness save in understanding the whole.

--Thornton Wilder, The Eighth Day
