Grief Quotes

If a man be gloomy, let him keep to himself. No one has a right to go croaking about society, or, what is worse, looking as if he stifled grief. ~ The Young Duke by Benjamin Disraeli We think cag'd birds sing, when indeed they cry. ~ The White Devil by John Webster "Grief is the agony of an instant; the indulgence of Grief the blunder of a life." ~ Vivian Grey by Benjamin Disraeli There is no dealing with great sorrow as if it were under the control of our wills. It is a terrible phenomenon, whose laws we must study, and to whose conditions we must submit, if we would mitigate it. ~ Uncle Silas by J. Sheridan Le Fanu "Grief makes one hour ten." ~ King Richard II by William Shakespeare "Grief fills the room up of my absent child,
Lies in his bed, walks up and down with me." ~ King John by William Shakespeare "Moderate lamentation is the right of the dead: excessive grief the enemy to the living." ~ All's Well That Ends Well by William Shakespeare "What's gone and what's past help
Should be past grief." ~ The Winter's Tale by William Shakespeare Joy and grief were mingled in the cup; but there were no bitter tears: for even grief itself arose so softened, and clothed in such sweet and tender recollections, that it became a solemn pleasure, and lost all character of pain. ~ Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens "The persons on whom I have bestowed my dearest love, lie deep in their graves; but, although the happiness and delight of my life lie buried there too, I have not made a coffin of my heart, and sealed it up, forever, on my best affections. Deep affliction has but strengthened and refined them." ~ Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens
