To be chosen (Solnit)

Justice, a book on classical lore asserted, stood at the gates of Hades deciding who would go in, and to go in was to be chosen for refinement through suffering, adventure, transformation, a punishing route to the reward that is the transformed self.
Rebecca Solnit, from A Field Guide to Getting Lost
