Text Quotes
Afterward, I curl around her. We lie in silence until darkness falls, and then, haltingly, she begins to talk... She speaks without need or even room for response, so I simply hold her and stroke her hair. She talks of the pain, grief, and horror of the past four years; of learning to cope with being the wife of a man so violent and unpredictable his touch made her skin crawl and of thinking, until quite recently, that she’d finally managed to do that. And then, finally, of how my appearance had forced her to realize she hadn’t learned to cope at all  (Grief Quotes) Let’s face it. We’re undone by each other. And if we’re not, we’re missing something. If this seems so clearly the case with grief, it is only because it was already the case with desire. One does not always stay intact  (Grief Quotes) Sometimes grief is a comfort we grant ourselves because it’s less terrifying than trying for joy  (Grief Quotes) He had no idea that grief was a reward. That it only came to those who were loyal, to those who loved more than they were capable of  (Grief Quotes) A photograph of a woman crying tells me nothing about grief. Or a photograph of a woman ecstatic tells me nothing about ecstasy. What is the nature of these emotions? The problem with photography is that it only deals with appearances  (Grief Quotes) You can’t have real pain without real love. You can’t feel grief and loss and hurt without real love. Love is the only way you can ever be really hurt deep down  (Grief Quotes) Her heart felt as if it were breaking in her breast, bleeding and bleeding, young and fierce. From grief over the warm and ardent love which she had lost and still secretly mourned; from anguished joy over the pale, luminous love which drew her to the farthest boundaries of life on this earth. Through the great darkness that would come, she saw the gleam of another, gentler sun, and she sensed the fragrance of the herbs in the garden at world’s end  (Grief Quotes) Revenge is never what you think it’s going to be. There’s no pleasure and glory, and when it’s done your grief remains. Once a man does the things you’re talking about, he will never be the same, and he can never go back to who he was before. Worst of all, no matter how many enemies you kill, you are never satisfied. There is always one more who deserves it. When it becomes too easy to kill, it never ends  (Grief Quotes) I do not believe that grief is ever so great that it can not be contained within  (Grief Quotes) The ordinary procedure of the nineteenth century is that when a powerful and noble personage encounters a man of feeling, he kills, exiles, imprisons or so humiliates him that the other, like a fool, dies of grief  (Grief Quotes) We don’t go to the ocean for anything as simple as happiness, do we? We go there to feel alive. Like life, the ocean holds chance and change, grief and terror and beauty. It promises mortality, not peace  (Grief Quotes) The upside to grief is it takes away your appetite. When people say you look good they really mean it. Nature’s thoughtful that way  (Grief Quotes) I rose and moved towards him. You would have done the same yourself. It is an ancient matter. Something propels you towards sudden grief, or perhaps also sometimes repels. You move away. I moved towards it, I couldn’t help it  (Grief Quotes) And knowing that the only alternative to your grief is the nothingness that’s fast approaching, you try to embrace your own sorrow, to be open and empty and let it all pass through you. This is the key, you have learned – to relinquish control, to relinquish the desire for control. Even in this late drama, to try to control is to go mad. And so you do your best to let it all go  (Grief Quotes) Grief and love are conjoined, you don’t get one without the other. All I can do is love her, and love the world, emulate her by living with daring and spirit and joy  (Grief Quotes) Grief is a house where the chairs have forgotten how to hold us the mirrors how to reflect us the walls how to contain us grief is a house that disappears each time someone knocks at the door or rings the bell a house that blows into the air at the slightest gust that buries itself deep in the ground while everyone is sleeping grief is a house where no on can protect you where the younger sister will grow older than  (Grief Quotes) I wake up in that state of grief when you can tell you’ve been mourning even in your sleep  (Grief Quotes) We reflect on what has been lost and comfort those enduring a profound grief. And somehow we know that a brighter morning will come  (Grief Quotes) Grief is forever. It doesn’t go away; it becomes part of you, step for step, breath for breath  (Grief Quotes) Gardening is akin to writing stories. No experience could have taught me more about grief or flowers, about achieving survival by going, your fingers in the ground, the limit of physical exhaustion  (Grief Quotes) When I’m with him, there is someone with me in my house of grief, someone who knows its architecture as I do, who can walk with me, from room to sorrowful room, making the whole rambling structure of wind and emptiness not quite as scary, as lonely as it was before  (Grief Quotes) I wonder why bereaved people even bother with mourning clothes when the grief itself provides such an unmistakable wardrobe  (Grief Quotes) It is, I suppose, the common grief of children at having to protect their parents from reality. It is bitter for the young to see what awful innocence adults grow into, that terrible vulnerability that must be sheltered from the rodent mire of childhood  (Grief Quotes) Good things, by their nature, are fleeting. It’s those that bring us grief that linger  (Grief Quotes) Once in my life I knew a grief so hard I could actually hear it inside, scraping at the lining of my stomach, an audible ache, dredging with hooks as rivers are dredged when someone’s been missing too long. I have to think my mother felt something like that  (Grief Quotes) Grief is a funny thing because you don’t have to carry it with you for the rest of your life. After a bit you set it down by the roadside and walk on and leave it  (Grief Quotes) Grief is the price we pay for being close to one another. If we want to avoid our grief, we simply avoid each other  (Grief Quotes) My head is full of fire and grief and my tongue runs wild, pierced with shards of glass  (Grief Quotes) You will find the way, daughter of the forest. Through grief and pain, through many trials, through betrayal and loss, your feet will walk a straight path  (Grief Quotes) Grief was like a terrible burden, but at least you could lay it down by the side of the road and walk away from it. Antonia had come only a few paces, but already she could turn and look back and not weep. It wasn’t anything to do with forgetting. It was just accepting. Nothing was ever so bad once you had accepted it  (Grief Quotes)
