"All we can do is live…we’ll live through a long row of days…and through the endless evenings…and we’ll bear up…under the trials fate has sent to us…we’ll constantly toil for others…now and for the rest of our days…and when we come to die, we’ll die submissively…beyond the grave, we will testify that we’ve suffered…that we’ve wept, that we’ve known bitterness…and God will take pity on us…and we’ll look down and we’ll see evil…all the evil in the world and all of our sufferings bathed in a perfect mercy."--Vanya on 42nd Street
