Adversity is like a strong wind. I don’t mean just that it holds us back from places we might otherwise go. It also tears away from us all but the things that cannot be torn, so that afterward we see ourselves as we really are, and not merely as we might like to be.

— Arthur Golden, /Memoirs of a Geisha/ (Random House, 2008, p348)
