Can I see another's woe, and not be in sorrow too? Can I see another's grief, and not seek for kind relief?
~ William Blake
Words are less needful to sorrow than to joy.
~ Helen Hunt Jackson
In this sad world of ours, sorrow comes to all; and to the young, it comes with bitterest agony because it takes them unawares. I have had experience enough to know what I say.
~ Abraham Lincoln
Why does the rest of the world put up with the hypocrisy, the need to put a happy face on sorrow, the need to keep on keeping on?... I don't know the answer, I know only that I can't.
~ Elizabeth Wurtzel
When sparrows build and the leaves break forth, My old sorrow wakes and cries.
~ Jean Ingelow
Cast away care, he that loves sorrow Lengthens not a day, nor can buy tomorrow; Money is trash, and he that will spend it, Let him drink merrily, fortune will send it.
~ Thomas Dekker
There is one type of ideal woman very seldom described in poetry - the old maid, the woman whom sorrow or misfortune prevents from fulfilling her natural destiny.
~ Lafcadio Hearn
We turned the switch, saw the flashes, watched for ten minutes, then switched everything off and went home. That night I knew the world was headed for sorrow.
~ Leo Szilard
Remember, the burden of sorrow is doubled when it is borne alone.
~ Goran Persson
My favorite records are, like, The Pretty Things' 'Parachute' and 'S.F. Sorrow' and The Mothers of Invention's 'We're Only in It for the Money' and The Kinks' 'Village Green Preservation Society' - these records that have a story - even if it's not a literal story - because of how they're sequenced and flow. It's like a novel with sound.
~ Ty Segall
What else does anxiety about the future bring you but sorrow upon sorrow?
~ Thomas À Kempis
