It is seldom that the miserable of the world
can help regarding their misery as a wrong
inflicted by those who are less miserable.
?George Eliot
Friends love misery, in fact. Sometimes,
especially if we are too lucky or too successful
or too pretty, our misery is the
only thing that endears us to our friends.
?Erica Jong
The miserable have no other
medicine, But only hope.
?William Shakespeare
If misery loves company, misery has company enough.
?Henry David Thoreau
Maybe men are separated from each other
only by the degree of their misery.
?Francis Picabia
People talk about the courage of condemned
men walking to the place of execution:
sometimes it needs as much courage to walk
with any kind of bearing towards
another person's habitual misery.
?Graham Greene
Part of every misery is, so to speak,
the misery's shadow or reflection:
the fact that you don't merely suffer but
have to keep on thinking about the
fact that you suffer. I not only live
each endless day in grief, but live each day
thinking about living each day in grief.
?C. S. Lewis
Hope is the physician of each misery.
?Irish Proverb
