Guillaume Apollinaire Quotes

When I think of the happiness that is in store for me, every sorrow, every pain becomes dear to me.

Pain is a byproduct of life. That’s the truth. Life sometimes sucks. That’s true for everyone. But if you don’t face the pain and the suck, you don’t ever get the other things either. Laughter. Joy. Love. Pain passes, but those things are worth fighting for. Worth dying for.

There will be rough nights but joy really does come in the morning.

The most audacious thing I could possibly state in this day and age is that life is worth living. It's worth being bashed against. It's worth getting scarred by. It's worth pouring yourself over every one of its coals.

When we are crushed like grapes, we cannot think of the wine we will become.

I have been through a lot and have suffered a great deal. But I have had lots of happy moments, as well. Every moment one lives is different from the other. The good, the bad, hardship, the joy, the tragedy, love, and happiness are all interwoven into one single, indescribable whole that is called life. You cannot separate the good from the bad. And perhaps there is no need to do so, either.

Today's teardrops are tomorrow's rainbows.

I hope that people take away hope, maybe not in an obvious sense, but in the form of hearing somebody who's genuinely fighting to stay above water. And in that fight, there's hope. In that fight, maybe there's positivity.

It requires but a few threads of hope, for the heart that is skilled in the secret, to weave a web of happiness.

Hard times and funky living can season the soul, true enough, but joy is the yeast that makes it rise.

The thorn is a bridge spanning the muddy depths of agony and sorrow so that one may on the other side dance to the drums of the rose of joy.

the heaviest anguish often precedes a return tide of joy and courage.

You have to have faith that there is a reason you go through certain things. I can't say I'm glad to go through pain, but in a way one must, in order to gain courage and really feel joy.

The sun will shine again. No matter... how painful and hard the rain may beat down on me.

When I planted my pain in the field of patience it bore fruit of happiness.

No pain will last forever. It is not easy, but life was never meant to be either easy or fair. Repentance and the lasting hope that forgiveness brings will always be worth the effort.

The heart must be beaten or bruised, and then the sweet scent will come out.

Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it.

Life has never been easy. Nor is it meant to be. It is a matter of being joyous in the face of sorrow.

It's tough, but you can still find joy in the struggle. Going through a season with a lot of struggles, I got a lot of practice. You have to set yourself up for joy, give yourself the best opportunity to have that going on inside.

I don't think one ever stops struggling.

No matter what hard thing you may go through or what kind of pain you may go through there is still hope.

I like to think of hope as a fact and something that wins out always. Whether you're hopeful or not, actually, you do get through what you're in the middle of. When you're in it, you don't feel like that's possible. But time and time again, we're proven wrong.

I try to see the lightness of life, and that comes from having a hard time growing up.

Your struggle is your strength. If you can resist becoming negative, bitter or hopeless, in time, your struggles will give you everything.
