We are no longer the same, you wiser but not sadder, and I sadder but not wiser, for wiser I could hardly become without grave personal inconvenience, whereas sorrow is a thing you can keep adding to all your life long, is it not, like a stamp or an egg collection, without feeling very much the worse for it, is it not.
Samuel Beckett
How stupid it was for the king to tear out his hair in grief, as if baldness were a cure for sorrow.
Bion of Borysthenes
The busy bee has no time for sorrow.
William Blake
Then he turned and walked away, and I gazed after him in sorrow. Dont look so, girl. Hes the first to fall at your feet; he will not be the last
Alice Borchardt
