"When he went blundering back to God,
His songs half written, his work half done,
Who knows what paths his bruised feet trod,
What hills of peace or pain he won?

And said, "Poor truant, passionate fool!
Life’s book is hard to understand:
Why couldst thou not remain at school?"

A poem by Charles Hanson Towne"

Additional quotes by Mitch Albom
