Books, which we mistake for consolation, only add depth to our sorrow. Orhan Pamuk
They say my verse is sad: no wonder. Its narrow measure spans. Rue for eternity, and sorrow. Not mine, but man's. This is for all ill-treated fellows. Unborn and unbegot, For them to read when they're in trouble. And I am not. A. E. Housman
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow quote: "Not enjoyment, and not sorrow, Is our destined end or way; But..."
Not enjoyment, and not sorrow, Is our destined end or way; But to act, that each tomorrow. Find us farther than today. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
I am shot with wounds which have eyes that see a world all sorrow, always to be, panoramic and unhealable, and mouths that hang unspeakable in the sky of blood. Elizabeth Smart
. . . why some men choose to fill their brief allotment of time engaging the impossible, others in the manufacture of sorrow. Erik Larson

Your joy is your sorrow unmasked. Khalil Gibran
It's all very well to read about sorrows and imagine yourself living through them heroically, but it's not so nice when you really come to have them, is it? L. M. Montgomery
Louisa May Alcott quote: "the little girls wore a grave, troubled expression, as if..."
the little girls wore a grave, troubled expression, as if sorrow was a new experience to them. Louisa May Alcott
Then hate me when thou wilt; if ever, now; Now, while the world is bent my deeds to cross, Join with the spite of fortune, make me bow, And do not drop in for an after-loss: Ah, do not, when my heart hath 'scoped this sorrow, Come in the rearward of a conquer'd woe; Give not a windy night a rainy morrow, To linger out a purposed overthrow. If thou wilt leave me, do not leave me last, When other petty griefs have done their spite. But in the onset come; so shall I taste. At first the very... William Shakespeare
In the country whereto I go I shall not see the face of my friend Nor her hair the color of sunburnt grasses; Together we shall not find The land on whose hills bends the new moon In air traversed of birds. What have I thought of love? I have said, "It is beauty and sorrow." I have thought that it would bring me lost delights, and splendor As a wind out of old time . . . But there is only the evening here, And the sound of willows Now and again dipping their long oval leaves in the... Louise Bogan
The unhappy are egoistic, spiteful, unjust, cruel, and less capable of understanding each other than fools. Unhappiness does not bring people together but draws them apart, and even where one would fancy people should be united by the similarity of their sorrow, far more injustice and cruelty is generated than in comparatively placid surroundings. Anton Chekhov
Love, what is love? I don't think you can really put it into words. Love is understanding someone, caring for him, sharing his joys and sorrows. This eventually includes physical love. You've shared something, given something away and received something in return, whether or not you're married, whether or not you have a baby. Losing your virtue doesn't matter, as long as you know that for as long as you live you'll have someone at your side who understands you, and who doesn't have to be... Anne Frank
To love means to open ourselves to the negative as well as the positive - to grief, sorrow, and disappointment as well as to joy, fulfillment, and an intensity of consciousness we did not know was possible before Rollo May
She had heard Papa sing so many songs about the heart; the heart that was breaking - was aching - was dancing -was heavy laden - that leaped for joy - that was heavy in sorrow - that turned over - that stood still. She really believed the heart actually did those things. Betty Smith
Elie Wiesel quote: "I feel that books, just like people, have a destiny. Some..."
I feel that books, just like people, have a destiny. Some invite sorrow, others joy, some both. Elie Wiesel
