The only way to take sorrow out of death is to take love out of life.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The only cure for grief is action.
The sorrow for the dead is the only sorrow from which we refuse to be divorced. Every other wound we seek to heal - every other affliction to forget: but this wound we consider it a duty to keep open - this affliction we cherish and brood over in solitude.
There is no love of life without despair of life.
I don't think of death in a romantic way anymore.
Love and death are the two great hinges on which all human sympathies turn.
Every life has a measure of sorrow, and sometimes this is what awakens us.
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.
When someone is dying, there is nothing you really can do, it's a horrible situation, and... you just have to get through it.
The cure for sorrow is to learn something.
Death is an endless night so awful to contemplate that it can make us love life and value it with such passion that it may be the ultimate cause of all joy and all art.
