Sorrow

Famous quotes containing the word sorrow:

“The sense of an entailed disadvantage—the deformed foot doubtfully hidden by the shoe, makes a restlessly active spiritual yeast, and easily turns a self-centred, unloving nature into an Ishmaelite. But in the rarer sort, who presently see their own frustrated claim as one among a myriad, the inexorable sorrow takes the form of fellowship and makes the imagination tender.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)

“Renunciation remains sorrow, though a sorrow borne willingly.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)

“There is sorrow in the world, but goodness too; and goodness that is not greenness, either, no more than sorrow is.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
