  "A pearl is a beautiful thing that is produced by an injured life.  
It is the tear [that results] from the injury of the oyster. The  
treasure of our being in this world is also produced by an injured  
life. If we had not been wounded, if we had not been injured, then we  
will not produce the pearl."
-Stephan Hoeller
