If you don't want to know the circumstances surrounding Wednesday's entry in this slideshow, then don't read any further...
[spoiler]Wednesday's quote:
Ep #774 (1897) - Judith - 'I'm sure that she would be the first one to tell you that your life must go on.'
From "Robservations 1/21/03 - #774-775 - The End For Rachel?"
The Robservations references the quote almost perfectly...

it's Judith. She expresses her condolences and offers help in his loss. He apologizes for being startled at seeing her there--I should have known a woman of your high character would respond to anther's grief. I didn't know Minerva well, begins Judith. She wasn't easy to know, says Trask, bowing his lying head--but she was a devoted wife and good woman. I felt that the first time I met her, agrees Judith. Choking up, Trask says, that's very kind of you--I tried to be brave about this, because it's what Minerva would have wanted, but it's so difficult. I understand perfectly, she assures him. She was his strength, sighs Trask, my whole reason for being, and her passing has left a void which may be impossible to fill... Judith, her hand on his arm, says, Minerva would be the first one to tell you your life must go on. He covers her hand and tells Judith, you knew Minerva better than you thought you did--my life must go on, he agrees, but what of the school?--what will become of it without Minerva? The school still has you, points out Judith. No, dear lady, he says, at best I'm a competent administrator, but Minerva was the driving force, the life blood of this institution, and without her, the future seems very bleak. With all due respect, says Judith, I don't believe that--I have faith in you, and the future of your school. "Miss Collins," he says, taking her hands, "I am not deserving of such faith."
