Grief Quotes

They either slay the man, or themselves die. Shallow sorrows and shallow loves live on. The loves and sorrows that are great are destroyed by their own plenitude.

Meaningful Quotes

Grief is messy, Annie. Makes you do things you regret, sometimes things you'll always regret.

Besides, women were better suited to bear sorrow than men. They lived on their emotions. They only thought of their emotions.

We have no scar to show for happiness. We learn so little from peace.

No tears come, and it would be pointless, like trying to empty a reservoir of grief by drip feed.

“No, Mum,” she said, the tears rolling down her skin, hot like molten metal. Who on earth ever said people most moved don’t weep? They don’t know anything about it.

Grief makes one so terribly tired.

Fatigue

Life Quotes

You will still have to taste the bitterness of mortality. Whether by the sword or the slow decay of time, Aragorn will die. And there will be no comfort for you. No comfort to ease the pain of his passing. He will come to death. An image of the splendor of the kings of men in glory, undimmed before the breaking of the world. But you, my daughter... you will linger on in darkness and in doubt, as night falling winter has come without a star. Here you will dwell... bound to you grief, under the fading trees... until all the world has changed... and the long years of your life are utterly spent.
