Agony Quotations
There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you. Maya Angelou Grief is the agony of an instant. The indulgence of grief the blunder of a life. Benjamin Disraeli Only in the agony of parting do we look into the depths of love. George Eliot As to those who hoard gold and silver and spend it not in God's path, give them, then, the tidings of a painful agony: on a day when these things shall be heated in hell-fire, and their foreheads, and their sides, and their backs shall be branded therewith. Kin Hubbard On the outskirts of every agony sits some observant fellow who points. Virginia Woolf |
