"Even in our sleep, pain which cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, until, in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom through the awful grace of God."

Wednesday's Words of Wisdom
In 1968, Robert Kennedy quoted these words in the speech he gave in which he announced to an Indianapolis crowd the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. I posted it as my facebook status last Monday, and have had it rattling around in my mind ever since, so I figured I'd post it here as well.
"Even in our sleep, pain which cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, until, in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom through the awful grace of God."
