Misfortune Quotes

In luctu atque miseriis mortem aerumnarum requiem, non cruciatum esse.

— I think John is a very lucky man, Alicia.
— So unlucky.

They're not happy. No adult human being is happy. People are born. They have a limited time to think life is dandy, but then... inevitably, tragedy strikes and they realize life equals loss. The point of the game is to minimize the pain caused by that equation. Some people do it by having kids or making money or coin collecting. And others do it by getting wasted. Letting that switch in the head turn the hot light off and the cool light on.

English proverbs and sayings

Curiosity creeps into the homes of the unfortunate under the names of duty or pity.

Hurting with fatigue, coercing you to flee,
But every adversity makes that person you be...
You shape the world with the path you lead,
I see a star as an image that is far from me,
And every obstacle their benefits are hard to see,
But later find they're the parts you need.
