The Great Wave off Kanagawa — Hokusai
And once the storm is over
You won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive.
You won’t even be sure, in fact, that the storm is over.
But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm,
You won’t be the same person who walked in.
That’s what this storm is all about.
Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore (translated by Philip Gabriel)
