Grief Quotes (page 19)

I hated leaving a hole in the smoking world, and so I recruited someone to take my place. People have given me a lot of grief, but I'm pretty sure that after high school, this girl would have started anyway, especially if she chose the army over community college. David Sedaris
Homer quote: "Even his griefs are a joy long after to one that remembers all..."
Even his griefs are a joy long after to one that remembers all that he wrought and endured. Homer
I feel my griefs too, and there scarce is ground. Upon my flesh t'inflict another wound. Yet dare I not complain, or wish for death. With holy Paul; lest it be thought the breath. Of discontent; or that these prayers be. For weariness of life, not love of thee. Ben Jonson
For a week, almost without speaking, they went ahead like sleepwalkers through a universe of grief, lighted only by the tenuous reflection of luminous insects, and their lungs were overwhelmed by a suffocating smell of blood. Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Emily Giffin quote: "In days that follow, I discover that anger is easier to handle..."
In days that follow, I discover that anger is easier to handle than grief. Emily Giffin
The lives of all people flow through time, and, regardless of how brutal one moment may be, how filled with grief or pain or fear, time flows through all lives equally. Orson Scott Card
Music isn't just a pleasure, a transient satisfaction. It's a need, a deep hunger; and when the music is right, it's joy. Love. A foretaste of heaven. A comfort in grief. Is it too much to think that perhaps God speaks to us sometimes through music? How, then, could I be so ungrateful as to refuse the message? Orson Scott Card
Women were different, no doubt about it. Men broke so much more quickly. Grief didn't break women. Instead it wore them down, it hollowed them out very slowly. Cornelia Funke
At no time in the history of man has the world been so full of pain and anguish. Here and there, however, we meet with individuals who are untouched, unsullied, by the common grief. We say of them that they have died to the world. They live in the moment, fully, and the radiance which emanates from them is a perpetual song of joy […] like the clown, we go through the motions, forever simulating, forever postponing the grand event- we die struggling to get born. We never were, never are. ... Henry Miller
Missing someone is a vague, unpleasant sensation, like gnawing anxiety. It isn't as concrete as grief, but it's just as pervasive and there's no escaping it. Sue Grafton
Those that much covet are with gain so fond, For what they have not, that which they possess. They scatter and unloose it from their bond, And so, by hoping more, they have but less; Or, gaining more, the profit of excess. Is but to surfeit, and such griefs sustain, That they prove bankrupt in this poor-rich gain. William Shakespeare
I see now how things even up, how they are squared away, and how they balance under the law of love and justice. No year of life is emotionally, spiritually or even materially, all drought or all rainfall; nor is it all sun. The road turns a little every day, and one day there's a sudden twist we didn't dream was there, and for every loss there is somewhere a gain, for every grief a happiness, for every deprivation a giving. Faith Baldwin
I sometimes find it half a sin, To put to words the grief i feel, For words like nature, half reveal, and half conceal the soul within, Alfred Lord Tennyson
To those who see the magical surface of things, you are invisible.' Good grief. Will you still be able to see me?' He met her eyes in a way that made her shiver pleasantly. 'I see you in a great many ways. It would be hard to blind me in all of them. Emma Bull
Fyodor Dostoevsky quote: "It's the great mystery of human life that old grief passes..."
It's the great mystery of human life that old grief passes gradually into quiet tender joy. Fyodor Dostoevsky
