" There are no winners in life. Life is ultimately all an losing: your youth, your looks. But most of all, those you love. Sometimes I think it's not the passing of the years that really ages you but the passing of the people and things you care about. That kind of ageing can't be smoothed away by needles or plumped out with fillers. The pain shows in your eyes. Eyes that have seen too much will always give you away. "
― C.J. Tudor , The Hiding Place
