Sorrow Quotes

Flee laziness which while it produces an immediate delight, ends in the sorrow of repentance. And know that nature without exercise is a seed shut up in the pod, and art without practice is nothing Picture Quote #1

Sorrow is better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better Picture Quote #1

Real sorrow is incompatible with hope. No matter how great that sorrow may be, hope raises it one hundred cubits higher Picture Quote #1

Only you and I can help the sun rise each coming morning. If we don’t, it may drench itself out in sorrow Picture Quote #1

How many young hearts have revealed the fact that what they had been trained to imagine, the highest earthly felicity, was but the beginning of care, disappointment, and sorrow, and often led to the extremity of mental and physical suffering Picture Quote #1

The rhythm persisted, the unfaltering common meter of blues, but the blueness itself, the sorrow, the despair, began to give way to hope Picture Quote #1

Perhaps the best function of parenthood is to teach the young creature to love with safety, so that it may be able to venture unafraid when later emotion comes; the thwarting of the instinct to love is the root of all sorrow and not sex only but divinity itself is insulted when it is repressed. To disapprove, to condemn the human soul shrivels under barren righteousness Picture Quote #1

Sorrow has the fortunate peculiarity that it preys upon itself. It dies of starvation. Since it is essentially an interruption of habits, it can be replaced by new habits. Constituting, as it does, a void, it is soon filled up by a real horror vacuum Picture Quote #1

Do not look at life’s long sorrow; see how small each moment’s pain Picture Quote #1

Our hearts must not only be broken with sorrow, but be broken from sin, to constitute repentance Picture Quote #1

Abruptness is an eloquence in parting, when spinning out the time is but the weaving of new sorrow Picture Quote #1

Great grief makes sacred those upon whom its hand is laid. Joy may elevate, ambition glorify, but sorrow alone can consecrate Picture Quote #1

There is the kiss of welcome and of parting, the long, lingering, loving, present one; the stolen, or the mutual one; the kiss of love, of joy, and of sorrow; the seal of promise and receipt of fulfillment Picture Quote #1

I would that I could have stopped time and preserved that day forever. It was a perfect day. There was the shadow of sorrow, yes. It would always be there. But that was the nature of life. The bright mirror and the dark, reflecting one another. And today there was so much brightness Picture Quote #1

Still, I look down, and the grass is so green, I cannot understand how it does not wither and die with sorrow. But against the emerald carpet, the warriors make war, and it is like a dance, almost beautiful, always macabre. The noise brings me back, the fearsome noise of swords striking swords, a metallic clanging that rings in my ears, echoing and echoing the fearsome din of men screaming and crying as they meet the sharp ends of blades Picture Quote #1

Sorrow is better than fear. Fear is a journey, a terrible journey. But, sorrow is at least an arriving Picture Quote #1

It’s funny, how one can look back on a sorrow one thought one might well die of at the time, and know that one had not yet reckoned the tenth part of true grief Picture Quote #1

When I wake, a piece of sharp green glass on the floor is cutting into my hand and I know it’s a sign. I etch a letter on my hand; put it on top so I can see the jagged edges bleeding out; S. S is for sorrow, for all I don’t say. S is for sick now, my punishing ways Picture Quote #1

We rely upon the poets, the philosophers, and the playwrights to articulate what most of us can only feel, in joy or sorrow. They illuminate the thoughts for which we only grope; they give us the strength and balm we cannot find in ourselves. Whenever I feel my courage wavering, I rush to them. They give me the wisdom of acceptance, the will and resiliance to push on Picture Quote #1

Let your tears roll tonight, but tomorrow you will start the battle again. What defeats us, always, is just our own sorrow Picture Quote #1

After a while, though, even the deepest sorrow faltered, even the most penetrating despair lost its scalpel edge Picture Quote #1

In the caves of my heart, where pain taps out its rhythms and sorrow sets its loss, I am without direction Picture Quote #1

I laced my shoes with sorrow and walked a weary road dead end streets don’t come undone with double knots wing tipped shoes that walk on air through vacant lots Picture Quote #1

Oh, I’m developing a beautiful character! It droops a bit under cold and frost, but it does grow fast when the sun shines. That’s the way with everybody. I don’t agree with the theory that adversity and sorrow and disappointment develop moral strength. The happy people are the ones who are bubbling over with kindliness Picture Quote #1

You will find joy, frustration and sorrow in your quest. Never forget that friendship and loyalty are more precious than riches... Happiness can be brief, but it knows no time in the land of dreams Picture Quote #1

There is a tonic strength, in the hour of sorrow and affliction, in escaping from the world and society and getting back to the simple duties and interests we have slighted and forgotten. Our world grows smaller, but it grows dearer and greater. Simple things have a new charm for us, and we suddenly realize that we have been renouncing all that is greatest and best, in our pursuit of some phantom Picture Quote #1

In her mind’s eye she saw it, saw it all at last: the rolling armies and the flames of battle; the graves and pits and dying cries of a hundred million souls; the spreading darkness, like a black wing stretching over the earth; the last, bitter hours of cruelty and sorrow, and the terrible, final flights; death’s great dominion over all, and, at the last, empty cities, becalmed by the silence of a hundred years. Already these things were coming to pass Picture Quote #1

Perhaps love is a minor madness. And as with madness, it’s unendurable alone. The one person who can relieve us is of course the sole person we cannot go to: the one we love. So instead we seek out allies, even among strangers and wives, fellow patients who, if they can’t touch the edge of our particular sorrow, have felt something that cuts nearly as deep Picture Quote #1

There’s a sorrow and pain in everyone’s life, but every now and then there’s a ray of light that melts the loneliness in your heart and brings comfort like hot soup and a soft bed Picture Quote #1

There’s enough sorrow in the world, isn’t there, without trying to invent it Picture Quote #1
