Quotes about Sorrow

The bruises hurt him, the cuts were still bleeding; but it was not for pain that he sobbed ; it was because he was all alone, because he had been driven out, alone, into this skeleton world of rocks and moonlight.
- Aldous Huxley
The surgery of life hurts. It helps me, though, to know that the surgeon himself, the Wounded Surgeon, has felt every stab of pain and every sorrow.

- Samuel Johnson
He hath given me rest by His sorrow, and life by His death.
- John Bunyan
You will lose someone you can't live without,and your heart will be badly broken, and the bad news is that you never completely get over the loss of your beloved. But this is also the good news. They live forever in your broken heart that doesn't seal back up. And you come through. It's like having a broken leg that never heals perfectly—that still hurts when the weather gets cold, but you learn to dance with the limp.
- Anne Lamott
Hope is grief's best music.
- Anonymous
Terrible things breed in broken hearts. And I see in my mistress' eyes a fury that wont be calmed… It can't be long before her sorrow turns, as sorrow always does, into rage.

- F Scott Fitzgerald
This is a valley of ashes - a fantastic farm where ashes grow like wheat into ridges and hills and grotesque gardens; where ashes take the form of houses and chimneys and riding smoke and, finally, with a transcendent effort, of men who move dimly and already crumbling through the powdery air.
- F Scott Fitzgerald
Weep not for me but for thy children.
- F Scott Fitzgerald
In this world, full often, our joys are only the tender shadows which our sorrows cast.
- Henry Ward Beecher
salvation consists primarily in his beginning to sorrow earnestly over himself!
- Soren Kierkegaard
