“When we make our own misery we sometimes cling to it even when we want so bad to change, because misery is something we know. The misery is comfortable.”
“Change isn't easy... changing the way you live means changing what you believe about life. That's hard... When we make our own misery, we sometimes cling to it even when we want so bad to change because the misery is something we know. The misery is comfortable.”
“By compassion we make others' misery our own, and so, by relieving them, we relieve ourselves also.”
“How mutable are our feelings, and how strange is that clinging love we have of life even in the excess of misery!”
“When we our betters see bearing our woes,We scarcely think our miseries our foes.”
“When will our consciences grow so tender that we will act to prevent human misery rather than avenge it?”
