Honore de Balzac Quotes

In deep sadness there is no place for sentimentality.

Does the world have nothing inside but sorrow?

The world is a heartbreaking place, without any question.

Life is full of misery, loneliness, and suffering - and it's all over much too soon.

We don't live in the Garden. We live far from Eden. Every life is full of heartaches. Every life, frankly, is unspeakably sad.

I mean, whose songs don't focus on tragedy and loss?

It is easy to fall into despair thinking about all that is wrong with the world. The joys seems so small in comparison. Internet videos of cats riding Roombas just can't compete with a father talking about how his dead 13-year-old son had wanted to be a pilot.

Grief, for me, is a moment-to-moment experience.

I know how it feels to lose.

It's very hard to be happy when you've lost.

Hope is a punishable offense. The verdict is always death; one more death of the heart.

My heart is empty & my life has no value anymore. Each moment a thousand tears.

Grief jumps out at you when you're least expecting it.

Every night when I go to bed, I hope that I may never wake again, and every morning renews my grief.

I suppose I'm interested in sorrow, which is very different from depression or despair. Sorrow is continuous with the world; it allows for creativity.

Grief is the price we pay for love.

If I told you the tragedy parts, we'd all sit here and cry.

Getting through the nights is the toughest part. Being alone. Not having her there to talk to.

Depression is a feeling without a cause. Mourning has a cause.

A sad soul can kill quicker than a germ.

Grief is so human, and it hits everyone at one point or another, at least, in their lives. If you love, you will grieve, and that's just given.

I don't mourn the dead. I mourn the living.

This tragic brow, these closed eyes, eyebrows raised and knotted.

Grief is an emotion that's almost unplayable because you're in a separate emotional state; it's an inconsolable emotion.

They'll take everything, even your tears.
