"To take up the cross of Christ is no great action done once for all; it consists in the continual practice of small duties which are distasteful to us."

I loved you madly; in the distasteful work of the day, in the wakeful misery of the night, girded by sordid realities, or wandering through Paradises and Hells of visions into which I rushed, carrying your image in my arms, I loved you madly.

— Charles Dickens
