“All life is in vain, for Death makes a nonsense of pain.”
“Sweet is true love that is given in vain, and sweet is death that takes away pain.”
“A mighty pain to love it is,And 't is a pain that pain to miss;But of all pains, the greatest painIt is to love, but love in vain.”
“So long as you can sweeten another's pain, life is not in vain.”
“Can you cook and sew, make flowers grow, do you understand my pain? Are you willing to risk it all or is your love in vain?”
“Life goes on." What nonsense, I thought, of course it doesn't. It's death that goes on.”
