Disappointment Quotes (page 19)

Only a few of us are going to be willing to break our own hearts by trading in the living beauty of imagination for the stark disappointment of words. Ann Patchett
She was ashamed at feeling disappointed; and began to reflect, as an excuse to herself, on the little objects which attract attention when there is nothing to divert the mind; and how difficult it was for women to avoid growing romantic, who have no active duties or pursuits. Mary Wollstonecraft
Well, you know how it feels if you begin hoping for something that you want desperately badly; you almost fight against the hope because it is too good to be true; you've been disappointed so often before. C. S. Lewis
Don't be disappointed if people refuse to help you. Remember in the words of Einstein:"I'm thankful to all those who said 'NO' because of them, I did it myself. Albert Einstein

So you never got to wherever it was. Weren't you terribly disappointed, Sebastian? --Julia Flyte Evelyn Waugh
The truth is that nothing between Patty and Richard was ever going to last, because they couldn't help being disappointments to each other, because neither was as lovable to the other as Walter was to both of them.

Grief and disappointment are like hate: they make men ugly with self-pity and bitterness. And how selfish they make us too. Graham Greene
The child will grow up and find out things for herself. She will know that I lied. She will be disappointed." "That is what is called learning the truth. Betty Smith
I know that every difficulty we face in life, even those that come from our own negligence or even transgression, can be turned by the Lord into growth experiences, a virtual ladder upward. I certainly do not recommend transgression as a path to growth. It is painful, difficult, and so totally unnecessary. It is far wiser and so much easier to move forward in righteousness. But through proper repentance, faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, and obedience to His commandments, even the... Richard G. Scott
Even broken in spirit as he is, no one can feel more deeply than he does the beauties of nature. The starry sky, the sea, and every sight afforded by these wonderful regions, seems still to have the power of elevating his soul from earth. Such a man has a double existence: he may suffer misery, and be overwhelmed by disappointments; yet, when he has retired into himself, he will be like a celestial spirit that has a halo around him, within whose circle no grief or folly ventures. Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
If friends disappoint you over and over, that's in large part your own fault. Once someone has shown a tendency to be self-centered, you need to recognize that and take care of yourself; people aren't going to change simply because you want them to. Oprah Winfrey
It was neither preaching nor praying that made a better man of me, but one or two people who believed in me better than I deserved, and I hated to disappoint them. Owen Wister
It was one thing to make a mistake; it was another thing to keep making it. I knew what happened when you let yourself get close to someone, when you started to believe they loved you: you'd be disappointed. Depend on someone, and you might as well admit you're going to be crushed, because when you really needed them, they wouldn't be there. Either that, or you'd confide in them and you added to their problems. All you ever really had was yourself, and that sort of sucked if you were less... Jodi Picoult
Emily Giffin quote: "recognizing that there is more heartbreak in continuous..."
...recognizing that there is more heartbreak in continuous disappointment than a void... Emily Giffin
What is there so fearful as the expectation of evil tidings delayed? ... Misery is a more welcome visitant when she comes in her darkest guise and wraps us in perpetual black, for then the heart no longer sickens with disappointed hope.- The Evil Eye Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
