Sorrowful Quotes (page 5)

There is nothing you can do except try to write it the way that it was.

However, without considering this connection, there is no doubt but that more good than evil, more delight than sorrow, arises from compassion itself; there being so many things which balance the sorrow of it. Joseph Butler
