“Great joy doesn't obliterate grief. Both can be encompassed at the same time.”
“...living the same sorrows three times was a suffering, but it was a suffering to relive even the same joys. The joy of life is born from feeling, whether it be joy or grief, always of short duration, and woe to those who know they will enjoy eternal bliss.”
“True joy is a profound remembering; and true grief the same.”
“There is no pain so great as the memory of joy in present grief.”
“Time is a terrible thing because it can erase both joys and pains.”
“It's the great mystery of human life that old grief passes gradually into quiet tender joy.”
