The sharpest criticism often goes hand in hand with the deepest idealism and love of country. Robert Kennedy
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
It’s like the grief has been covered over with some kind of blanket. It’s still there, but the sharpest edges are .. muffled, sort of. Then, ever now and then, I lift the corner of the blanket just to check, and .. whoa! Like a knife! I’m not sure that will ever change. Anne Tyler
As the rose-tree is composed of the sweetest flowers and the sharpest thorns, as the heavens are sometimes overcast—alternately tempestuous and serene—so is the life of man intermingled with hopes and fears, with joys and sorrows, with pleasure and pain. Edmund Burke
It isn't given to us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world. They will not be cured by our most efficacious drugs or slain with our sharpest swords. F. Scott Fitzgerald
It's in despair that you find the sharpest pleasures, particularly when you are most acutely aware of the hopelessness of your position. Fyodor Dostoevsky
Anne Frank quote: "In the long run, the sharpest weapon of all is a kind and..."
In the long run, the sharpest weapon of all is a kind and gentle spirit. Anne Frank
This pleasure comes precisely from the sharpest awareness of your own degradation; from the knowledge that you have gone to the utmost limit; that it is despicable, yet cannot be otherwise; that you no longer have any way out; that you will never become a different man. Fyodor Dostoevsky
There's a story... a legend, about a bird that sings just once in its life. From the moment it leaves its nest, it searches for a thorn tree... and never rests until it's found one. And then it sings... more sweetly than any other creature on the face of the earth. And singing, it impales itself on the longest, sharpest thorn. But, as it dies, it rises above its own agony, to outsing the lark and the nightingale. The thorn bird pays its life for just one song, but the whole world stills to... Colleen McCullough
The things we worry about the most are never the things that bite us. The sharpest teeth always take their nip of us when we are looking the other way. Dean Koontz
I verily believe that her not remembering and not minding in the least, made me cry again, inwardly - and that is the sharpest crying of all. Charles Dickens
Some of your griefs you have cured, And the sharpest you still have survived, But what torments of grief you've endured. From evils that never arrived. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Through the mosses bare, they have planted thorn-trees for pleasure here and there. If any man so daring as dig them up in spite, He shall find their sharpest thorns in his bed at night. William Allingham
Give me a shot to remember. And you can take all the pain away from me. A kiss and I will surrender. The sharpest lives are the deadliest to lead. A light to burn all the empires. So bright the sun is ashamed to rise and be. And I'm in love with all of those vampires. So you can leave like the sane abandoned me Gerard Way
She had never realized any love save love as passion. Such love, though it expends itself in generosity and thoughtfulness, though it give birth to visions and to great poetry, remains among the sharpest expressions of self-interest. Not until it has passed though a long servitude, though its own self-hatred, though mockery, though great doubts, can it take its place among the loyalties. Many who have spent a lifetime in it can tell us less of love than the child that lost a dog yesterday. Thornton Wilder
