[at-uh-rak-see-uh]

(noun) A state of freedom from emotional disturbance and anxiety; tranquility

I fell in love with her courage,

her sincerity and her flaming

self-respect and it's these things

I'd believe in even if the whole

world indulged in wild suspicions

that she wasn't all that she should

be. But of course the real reason

is that I love her and that's the beginning and the end of everything.

-F. Scott Fitzgerald
