All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter into another!

All changes are more or less tinged with melancholy, for what we are leaving behind is part of ourselves.

Life is filled with detours and dead ends, trials and challenges of every kind. Each of us has likely had times when distress, anguish, and despair almost consumed us.

Much melancholy has devolved upon mankind, and it is detestable to me that might will triumph in the end.

One can't help but be a bit melancholy when you see how the world has changed, and I don't mean that nostalgically.

I think every human being has a level of melancholy in life and in general.

Each life reverberates in every other life. Whether or not we acknowledge it, we are connected, woven together in our needs and desires, rich and poor, men and women alike.

Some of us only meet in the most fleeting moments; some of us never meet, but still hear about one another and therefore cherish what we know from what we've heard, and mourn the loss, even though we're spared what the close-loved ones must endure - the ongoing pain of an empty place in the heart for the rest of life.

There is a melancholy that stems from greatness.

Such is the state of life, that none are happy but by the anticipation of change: the change itself is nothing; when we have made it, the next wish is to change again.
