Sorrows

Famous quotes containing the word sorrows:

“Man could not live if he were entirely impervious to sadness. Many sorrows can be endured only by being embraced, and the pleasure taken in them naturally has a somewhat melancholy character. So, melancholy is morbid only when it occupies too much place in life; but it is equally morbid for it to be wholly excluded from life.”
—Emile Durkheim (1858–1917)

“Proud people breed sad sorrows for themselves.”
—Emily Brontë (1818–1848)

“Alack-o-day, replied the corporal ... your honour knows I have neither wife or child—I can have no sorrows in this world.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
