>Manson makes the argument, backed both by academic research and well-timed poop jokes, that improving our lives hinges not on our ability to turn lemons into lemonade, but on learning to stomach lemons better. Human beings are flawed and limited—"not everybody can be extraordinary, there are winners and losers in society, and some of it is not fair or your fault." Manson advises us to get to know our limitations and accept them. Once we embrace our fears, faults, and uncertainties, once we stop running and avoiding and start confronting painful truths, we can begin to find the courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness we seek.

Literally Darwin—and no, he never wrote the other book his On the Origin of Species was a fucking "brief abstract" for (even after the fucking abstract recurved six editions).

> Laura de Noves (1310–1348) was the wife of Count Hugues de Sade (ancestor of the Marquis de Sade).
> She could be the Laura that the Humanist poet Francesco Petrarch wrote about extensively; however, she has never been positively identified as such.[1] Laura had a great influence on Petrarch's life and lyrics. The historical information on Laura is meager at best.
> Born six years after Petrarch in 1310 in Avignon, she was the daughter of a knight, Audibert de Noves and his wife Ermessenda. She married at the age of 15 on 16 January 1325. Not much is known about her other than she did have a large family, was a virtuous wife, and died in 1348.
> Petrarch saw her for the first time on 6 April (Good Friday) in 1327 [when she was about 17 and he 23] at Easter mass in the church of Sainte-Claire d'Avignon. Since this first encounter with Laura, Petrarch spent the next three years in Avignon singing his romantic love and haunting Laura in church and on her walks. After this Petrarch left Avignon and went to Lombez (a French department of Gers) where he held a canonry gifted by Pope Benedict XII. Her possible tomb could have been discovered by the French poet Maurice Scève in 1533.[2]
> In 1337 he returned to Avignon and bought a small estate at Vaucluse to be near his dear Laura. Here, for the next three years, he wrote numerous sonnets in her praise.[3] Petrarch's Canzoniere (Songbook) is the lyrics to her in the troubadour tradition of courtly love. They advanced the growth of Italian as a literary language. They also popularized this form of sonnet that is called Petrarchan sonnet. Years after her death Petrarch wrote his Trionfi, which is a religious allegory in which Laura is idealized.[4]
Again, massive simp but if this is the correct Laura he's not a nonce bro.
