Quote

My principal anguish, and the wellspring of all my joys and sorrows, has been the incessant merciless battle between the spirit and the flesh.

I'm sure that everybody feels a kind of permanent anguish about what's going on in the world.

I have shed many tears of pain and indignation.

Being ill like this combines shock - this time I will die - with a pain and agony that are unfamiliar, that wrench me out of myself.

If you would have me weep, you must first of all feel grief yourself.

The existentialist says at once that man is anguish.

I have sometimes imagined my own death and brought myself to tears.

Dear Lord, I'm so grateful I'm still loved.

The nature of anguish is translated into different forms.

Our culture has become increasingly intolerant of that acute sorrow, that intense mental anguish and deep remorse which may be defined as grief. We want to medicate such sorrow away.
