“It is better to be hungry in joy, than to be filled in sorrow.”
“The brooding is better than the joy because even if the heart fills with happiness, it still mourns.”
“Your joy is your sorrow unmasked.And the selfsame well from which your laughter rises was oftentimes filled with your tears.And how else can it be?The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain.”
“Life is a struggle, I would tell him. Some days are better than others, and every person's life is bittersweet, filled with joy and pain.”
“Sorrow is better than fear. Fear is a journey, a terrible journey. But, sorrow is at least an arriving. ”
“That sorrow which is the harbinger of joy is preferable to the joy which is followed by sorrow.”
