Consolation Quotations
Love is not consolation. It is light. Friedrich Nietzsche There is one consolation in being sick; and that is the possibility that you may recover to a better state than you were ever in before. Henry David Thoreau Many of us saw religion as harmless nonsense. Beliefs might lack all supporting evidence but, we thought, if people needed a crutch for consolation, where's the harm? September 11th changed all that. Richard Dawkins It is from books that wise people derive consolation in the troubles of life. Victor Hugo There was always the consolation that if I didn't like what I wrote I could throw it away or burn it. Carl Sandburg I ask you to pray for me, for once age has overtaken us, we find consolation only in religion. Paul Cezanne I am a most noteworthy sinner, but I have cried out to the Lord for grace and mercy, and they have covered me completely. I have found the sweetest consolation since I made it my whole purpose to enjoy His marvellous Presence. Christopher Columbus It is a great consolation for me to remember that the Lord, to whom I had drawn near in humble and child-like faith, has suffered and died for me, and that He will look on me in love and compassion. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Last night I dreamed of a small consolation enjoyed only by the blind: Nobody knows the trouble I've not seen! James Thurber The Bible was a consolation to a fellow alone in the old cell. The lovely thin paper with a bit of matress stuffing in it, if you could get a match, was as good a smoke as I ever tasted. Brendan Behan |
