Jeanette Winterson quote: "There is no greater grief than to find no happiness, but..."
There is no greater grief than to find no happiness, but happiness in what is past. Jeanette Winterson
Passion. It lies in all of us. Sleeping... waiting... and though unwanted, unbidden, it will stir... open its jaws and howl. It speaks to us... guides us. Passion rules us all. And we obey. What other choice do we have? Passion is the source of our finest moments. The joy of love... the clarity of hatred... the ecstasy of grief. It hurts sometimes more than we can bear. If we could live without passion, maybe we'd know some kind of peace. But we would be hollow. Empty rooms, shuttered and... Joss Whedon
William Shakespeare quote: "More grief to hide than hate to utter love. Polonius, Hamlet."
More grief to hide than hate to utter love. Polonius, Hamlet. William Shakespeare
Stephen King quote: "Time apparently did nothing but blunt grief’s sharpest edge so..."
Time apparently did nothing but blunt grief’s sharpest edge so that it hacked rather than sliced. Stephen King
Few other griefs amid the ill chances of this world have more bitterness and shame for a man's heart than to behold the love of a lady so fair and brave that cannot be returned. J. R. R. Tolkien
If you love someone, truly love them, you should never cause them pain. Never fill their eyes with something so close to grief. Laurell K. Hamilton
We are as forlorn as children lost in the wood. When you stand in front of me and look at me, what do you know of the griefs that are in me and what do I know of yours? And if I were to cast myself down before you and tell you, what more would you know about me that you know about Hell when someone tells you it is hot and dreadful? Franz Kafka

Take all away. I am content to know. Such love is mine-for life is all too brief. To grieve for pleasures bringing only grief; Give me but You; it is enough just so. Ruth Graham
The unicorn halted in her slow, desperate round of the cage, realizing for the first time that the magician understood her speech. He smiled, and she saw that his face was frighteningly young for a grown man-untraveled by time, unvisited by grief or wisdom. "I know you," he said. Peter S. Beagle
He said that even the damned in hell have the community of their suffering and he thought that he’d guessed out likewise for the living a nominal grief like a grange from which disaster and ruin are proportioned by laws of equity too subtle for divining. Cormac McCarthy
Of four infernal rivers that disgorge/ Into the burning Lake their baleful streams;/Abhorred Styx the flood of deadly hate,/Sad Acheron of sorrow, black and deep;/Cocytus, nam'd of lamentation loud/ Heard on the rueful stream; fierce Phlegethon/ Whose waves of torrent fire inflame with rage./ Far off from these a slow and silent stream,/ Lethe the River of Oblivion rolls/ Her wat'ry Labyrinth whereof who drinks,/ Forthwith his former state and being forgets,/ Forgets both joy and grief,... John Milton
Thornton Wilder quote: "The highest tribute to the dead is not grief but gratitude."
The highest tribute to the dead is not grief but gratitude. Thornton Wilder
That was the state of the world when I began to be aware of my family environment, and I cannot evoke it in any other way: sorrows, griefs, uncertainties in the solitude of an immense house. Gabriel Garcia Marquez
