So it's true, when all is said and done, grief is the price we pay for love.
There is no point treating a depressed person as though she were just feeling sad, saying, 'There now, hang on, you'll get over it.' Sadness is more or less like a head cold- with patience, it passes. Depression is like cancer.
Experiencing sadness and anger can make you feel more creative, and by being creative you can get beyond your pain or negativity.
It is sadder to find the past again and find it inadequate to the present than it is to have it elude you and remain forever a harmonious conception of memory.
We must understand that sadness is an ocean, and sometimes we drown, while other days we are forced to swim.
If we could read the secret history of our enemies we should find in each man's life sorrow and suffering enough to disarm all hostility.
Make the most of your regrets; never smother your sorrow, but tend and cherish it till it comes to have a separate and integral interest. To regret deeply is to live afresh.
