Grief Quotations
Grief can take care if itself, but to get the full value of a joy you must have somebody to divide it with. Mark Twain 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 No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear. C. S. Lewis The person you consider ignorant and insignificant is the one who came from God, that he might learn bliss from grief and knowledge from gloom. Kahlil Gibran Every man casts a shadow; not his body only, but his imperfectly mingled spirit. This is his grief. Let him turn which way he will, it falls opposite to the sun; short at noon, long at eve. Did you never see it? Henry David Thoreau Poetry is about the grief. Politics is about the grievance. Robert Frost Tears are the silent language of grief. Voltaire 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 For pleasures past I do not grieve, nor perils gathering near; My greatest grief is that I leave nothing that claims a tear. Lord Byron Can I see another's woe, and not be in sorrow too? Can I see another's grief, and not seek for kind relief? William Blake |
