“When you have a sorrow that is too great it leaves no room for any other.”

“The truth is life is full of joy and full of great sorrow, but you can't have one without the other.”

“If you are leaving that sorrowful place with hate and anger against men, you are worthy of compassion; if you leave it with good will, gentleness and peace, you are better than any of us.”

“Drink my friends. You can never drink too much alcohol when you have drunk too much sorrow.” - Peter Kotara.”

“Although not a very old man, I have yet lived a great deal in my life, and I have known sorrow too bitter and joy too keen to allow me to become either cast down or elated for more than a very brief period over any success or defeat.”

“Then I wanted to beg him to forgive me. But this would have been too great a confession; any yielding at that moment would have locked me forever in that room with him. And in a way this was exactly what I wanted.”
