It's so curious: one can resist tears and 'behave' very well in the hardest hours of grief. But then someone makes you a friendly sign behind a window,
or one notices that a flower that was in bud only yesterday has suddenly blossomed, or a letter slips from a drawer... and everything collapses.
~Colette
When you are sorrowful look again in your heart,
and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that
which has been your delight.
~Kahlil Gibran
In the night of death, hope sees a star,
and listening love can hear the rustle of a wing.
~Robert Ingersoll
While grief is fresh, every attempt to divert only irritates.
You must wait till it be digested,
and then amusement will dissipate the remains of it.
~Samuel Johnson
We must embrace pain and burn it as fuel for our journey.
~Kenji Miyazawa
If you suppress grief too much, it can well redouble.
~Moliere
There's a bit of magic in everything, and some loss to even things out.
~Lou Reed, "Magic and Loss"
