Can I see another's woe, and not be in sorrow too? Can I see another's grief, and not seek for kind relief?

William Blake Poet

Chorus: Zeus, who guided men to think who laid it down that wisdom comes alone through suffering. Still there drips in sleep against the heart grief of memory; against our pleasure we are temperate.

Aeschylus Dramatist

Does the open wound in another's breast soften the pain of the gaping wound in our own? Or does the blood which is welling from another man's side staunch that which is pouring from our own? Does the general anguish of our fellow creatures lessen our own private and particular anguish? No, no, each suffers on his own account, each struggles with his own grief, each sheds his own tears.

Alexandre Dumas Writer

Before the beginning of years There came to the making of man Time with a gift of tears, Grief with a glass that ran .

Algernon Charles Swinburne Poet

Even for the dead I will not bind my soul to grief, death cannot long divide; for is it not as if the rose that climbed my garden wall had bloomed the other side?

Alice Cary Poet

Grief was like a newborn, and the first three months were hard as hell, but by six months you'd recognized defeat, shifted your life around, and made room for it.

Ann Brashares Film Writer
