Great literature withstands the test of time. In this day and age, it can be easy to forget just how pertinent these works are. Fortunately, they are more applicable than ever today and perfectly explain away any pain from last week's Super Tuesday results.

1. "Don't get upset about Trump winning most of the delegates, because Marco Rubio will gain most of his momentum in the post Super Tuesday states." — E.E. Cummings

2. "You really shouldn't be sad about things like this. I've never been sad about anything in my life, not once, and I'm doing just fine!" — Sylvia Plath, "The Bell Jar"

3. "Rubio's home state of Florida won't have their primary until March 15th, so he's sure to get ahead there." — Ernest Hemingway, "Farewell to Arms"

4. "It's like when you have four tennis balls, and you need to carry them on the tennis court, but you don't have enough room in your hand because you're also carrying your tennis racket. So you have to put them all in a plastic target bag and carry them that way." —John Steinbeck, "The Grapes of Wrath"

5. "These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country, but he who stands it now deserves the love and thanks of man and woman." — Thomas Paine, "The Crisis"
