Sorrowful Quotes - Page 3

• Nada es mejor que la música; cuando nos saca del tiempo, ha hecho por nosotros más de lo que tenemos derecho a esperar: ha ensanchado los límites de nuestra vida triste, ha iluminado la dulzura de nuestras horas de felicidad borrando las mezquindades que nos empequeñecen, devolviéndonos puros y nuevos a lo que fue, a lo que será, a lo que la música ha creado para nosotros.

  Nadia Boulanger

• All coming to Jesus has the feeling of homecoming upon it. All going away from Him has the sense of estrangement upon it. The rich young ruler went away from Jesus "sorrowful." Everybody does. Not only estrangement from God, but also estrangement from oneself. And the universe! And from life! You are not at home with life, unless you are at home with Life. And Jesus is Life!

  E. Stanley Jones

  Jesus, Home, Feelings

• Time is never more misspent than while we declaim against the want of it; all our actions are then tinctured with peevishness. The yoke of life is certainly the least oppressive when we carry it with good-humor; and in the shades of rural retirement, when we have once acquired a resolution to pass our hours with economy, sorrowful lamentations on the subject of time misspent and business neglected never torture the mind.

  Johann Georg Ritter von Zimmermann

• How can the physique be braced if no fresh breath from the outer world is suffered to permeate the languid, enervating air of thedrawing-room? How can the grasp of the mind be vigorous, without action? Daughters of inherited wealth, or accumulated labor! the wide door of philanthropy is open peculiarly to you! Your life-work lies beyond your threshold: your wealth has placed you above the sorrowful struggle for daily bread which takes up the whole time of so many of your brothers and sisters. You are the almoners of God. A double accountability is yours.

  Harriot Kezia Hunt

• Nos divertiremos con las formas que se nos dan: un rostro humano, una mano, el pecho de una mujer o el cuerpo de un hombre, una expresión alegre o apenada, los mares infinitos, las rocas salvajes, el lenguaje melancólico de los árboles negros en la nieve, la fuerza salvaje de las flores de primavera y el pesado letargo de un caluroso día de verano, cuando Pan, nuestro viejo amigo, duerme y los fantasmas del mediodía susurran. Sólo esto basta para hacernos olvidar el dolor del mundo, o para darle forma.

  Max Beckmann

• If we choose the right, we will find happiness-in time. If we choose evil, there comes sorrow and regret-in time. Those effects are sure. Yet they are often delayed for a purpose. If the blessings were immediate, choosing the right would not build faith. And since sorrow is also sometimes greatly delayed, it takes faith to feel the need to seek forgiveness for sin early rather than after we feel its sorrowful and painful effects.

• What does it mean to go deeper? Taking pictures when you're more emotional or sorrowful, or having sex? I just want to have really boring snapshots - people just standing in front of a camera taking pictures with a smile.

• Creo que Poe es tan resonante porque representa esa parte de nosotros que está en la miseria o apesadumbrada o que quiere explorar la oscuridad. Escribió un gran relato titulado "El diablillo de los perversos" sobre el instinto de autodestrucción. Poe es el padrino de la literatura gótica y de todo ese movimiento.

• But nobody ever forgot anything, not really, though sometimes they pretended, when it suited them. Memories were permanent. Sorrowful ones remained sad even with the passing of time, yet happy ones could never be recreated - not with the same joy. Remembering bred its own peculiar sorrow. It seemed so unfair: that time should render both sadness and happiness into a source of pain.

• A chaos of mind and body - a time for weeping at sunsets and at the glamour of moonlight - a confusion and profusion of beliefs and hopes, in God, in Truth, in Love, and in Eternity - an ability to be transported by the beauty of physical objects - a heart to ache or swell- a joy so hoyful and a sorrow so sorrowful that oceans could lie between them.

  T. H. White

• Para cuando entraron en el aparcamiento del A&P, el estado de ánimo se estaba desvaneciendo, el momento había desaparecido. Amy podía sentir cómo se iba. Tal vez no fuera más que los dos donuts que se expandían en su estómago lleno de leche, pero Amy sintió que empezaba una pesadez, un giro familiar de alguna marea interior. Mientras conducían por el puente, el sol parecía pasar de un alegre amarillo diurno a un dorado de primera hora de la tarde; era doloroso cómo la luz dorada golpeaba las orillas del río, rica y triste, atrayendo de Amy un cierto anhelo, un ansia de alegría.

• Cuando estéis tristes, mirad de nuevo en vuestro corazón, y veréis que en verdad estáis llorando por aquello que ha sido vuestro deleite. Algunos de vosotros decís: "La alegría es mayor que la tristeza", y otros decís: "No, la tristeza es mayor". Pero yo os digo que son inseparables. Juntas vienen, y cuando una se sienta a solas contigo en tu mesa, recuerda que la otra duerme en tu lecho. Verdaderamente estáis suspendidos como balanzas entre vuestra pena y vuestra alegría.
