My heart is so light that it's amazing. I get to play all this grief, all this loss, all this disaster and chaos. It's hysterically funny. I am very light.
Linda Hamilton

My work has typically been about finding a means to express memory and commemoration for loss and grief.
John Regan

No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear.
C. S. Lewis

No one feels another's grief, no one understands another's joy. People imagine they can reach one another. In reality they only pass each other by.
Franz Schubert

Nothing becomes so offensive so quickly as grief. When fresh it finds someone to console it, but when it becomes chronic, it is ridiculed, and rightly.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Of course, I also hear from critics who detest what I do, and while sometimes I feel rather proud of having made various the loathsome people or groups angry, at other times I wonder why I put up with such grief.
Orson Scott Card

One often calms one's grief by recounting it.
Pierre Corneille

Part of every misery is, so to speak, the misery's shadow or reflection: the fact that you don't merely suffer but have to keep on thinking about the fact that you suffer. I not only live each endless day in grief, but live each day thinking about living each day in grief.
C. S. Lewis

Pity speaks to grief More sweetly than a band of instruments.
Barry Cornwall

Poetry is about the grief. Politics is about the grievance.
Robert Frost

Politicians... talk in generalities and lies, and I think they've caused all our grief. They're so awful, they're really funny. I hate thinking this because my dad loved politics.
Paul Lynde

Since grief only aggravates your loss, grieve not for what is past.
Walker Percy

Sorrows cannot all be explained away in a life truly lived, grief and loss accumulate like possessions.
Stefan Kanfer

Suppressed grief suffocates, it rages within the breast, and is forced to multiply its strength.
Ovid

Tearless grief bleeds inwardly.
Christian Nestell Bovee

Tears are the silent language of grief.
Voltaire

The display of grief makes more demands than grief itself. How few men are sad in their own company.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca

The fact is that a man who wants to act virtuously in every way necessarily comes to grief among so many who are not virtuous.
Niccolo Machiavelli

The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing... not healing, not curing... that is a friend who cares.
Henri Nouwen

The grief of the keen is no personal complaint for the death of one woman over eighty years, but seems to contain the whole passionate rage that lurks somewhere in every native of the island.
John Millington Synge
