The marks humans leave are too often scars.
It’s so hard to forget pain, but it’s even harder to remember sweetness. We have no scar to show for happiness. We learn so little from peace.
Numbing the pain for a while will make it worse when you finally feel it.
Is there no way out of the mind?
The saddest people I've ever met in life are the ones who don't care deeply about anything at all.
Behind every exquisite thing that existed, there was something tragic.
No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear.
When you have nobody you can make a cup of tea for, when nobody needs you, that's when I think life is over.
Should I kill myself, or have a cup of coffee?
One of the hardest things in life is having words in your heart that you can’t utter.
Bitterness is like cancer. It eats upon the host.
But in the end one needs more courage to live than to kill himself.
Life should be lived to the point of tears.
If one’s different, one’s bound to be lonely.
Mostly it is loss which teaches us about the worth of things.
Life is a constant process of dying.
Human life must be some form of mistake.
Our life is a loan received from death with sleep as the daily interest on this loan.
I don’t know how to live well. I only know how to suffer.
Heaven knows we need never be ashamed of our tears, for they are rain upon the blinding dust of earth, overlying our hard hearts. I was better after I had cried, than before – more sorry, more aware of my own ingratitude, more gentle.
