Famous quotes containing the word miserable:
“The full value of this life can only be got by fighting; the violent take it by storm. And if we have accepted everything we have missed something—war. This life of ours is a very enjoyable fight, but a very miserable truce.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
“If the soul doth think in a sleeping man without being conscious of it, I ask, whether during such thinking it has any pleasure or pain, or be capable of happiness or misery? I am sure the man is not, no more than the bed or earth he lies on. For to be happy or miserable without being conscious of it, seems to me utterly inconsistent and impossible.
”
—John Locke (1632–1704)
“The miserable have no other medicine
But only hope.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
