“Hearts united in pain and sorrowwill not be separated by joy and happiness.Bonds that are woven in sadnessare stronger than the ties of joy and pleasure.Love that is washed by tearswill remain eternally pure and faithful.”
“May all your joys be pure joys, and all your pain champagne.”
“The ties that bind us are stronger than the occasional stresses that separate us.”
“Grief and sadness knits two hearts in closer bonds that happiness ever can; and common sufferings are far stronger than common joys.”
“Only pain makes it grow stronger. One sorrow makes it kind. Contentment makes it wither, and joy seems to build walls around it. The heart is perverse, and it is cruel. I hate the heart and seems to hate me.”
“This is my book, and in my book my soulWith its two woven threads of joy and pain,And both were yours before they were begun..”
