Sleep in the Stars

GGJG

"One day, the pain would be gone; but never the memory."

That was the last line of a book that I read years ago; unfortunately I've forgotten the name of the book but that in no way diminishes the sentiment embodied by the statement.

UPDATE: As Ben correctly noted in the comments, the book is Arthur C. Clarke's Songs of Distant Earth.

"The Song of Distant Earth" by Arthur C. Clark ???

Love the graphic & the sentiment. Very true.

And we have a winner! Good call Ben. I wasn't sure if that was the book, but I was able to use Amazon's "search within this book" feature to find the quote. Yep, just like I remembered it, the last line on the last page.

You can see for yourself by clicking this link and then selecting the last search result (#7):
