Misery Quotes
-
There is something deeply attractive, at least to quite a lot of people, about squalor, misery and vice. They are regarded as more authentic, and certainly more exciting, than cleanliness, happiness, and virtue.
Anthony Malcolm Daniels
-
His desperation and misery swept her up like a storm capturing the sea. She turned her mind to even these feelings, because they were his, like his terrified rage in the lift when they had first met, being wrapped in his arms in the cold well, being dazzled by his wonder at the woods and her home and her. Like being a child, awareness of him the morning chorus that woke her and the lullaby that sent her to sleep, his thoughts always her first and last song.I love you, Kami told him, and cut.
Sarah Rees Brennan

Simplicity of life, even the barest, is not a misery, but the very foundation of refinement.
William Morris
-
Misery and poverty are so absolutely degrading, and exercise such a paralysing effect over the nature of men, that no class is ever really conscious of its own suffering. They have to be told of it by other people, and they often entirely disbelieve them.
Oscar Wilde
-
Then haste we down to meet thy friends and foes;
To place thy friends in ease, the rest in woes.
For here though death doth end their misery,
I'll there begin their endless tragedy.
Thomas Kyd
-
What else is there for the rich to do,
If not to relieve the poor of their misery?
Pancho Villa
-
Without bread all is misery.
William Cobbett
-
Why you play with my heart and not show love consistently?
I put my life on the line, you wouldn't take that risk for me
Fucked up my trust, wish I could delete all our memories
Keep poppin' these pills, I hope it take away my misery
Polo G
-
There is no sin so profound, no despondency so low, no misery so abject, but the love of Christ is deeper.
F. B. Meyer
-
I was in misery, and misery is the state of every soul overcome by friendship with mortal things and lacerated when they are lost. Then the soul becomes aware of the misery which is its actual condition even before it loses them.
Saint Augustine
-
A trajectory of misery – at this point – seems intentional.
We have all the information we need to see clearly.
We are no longer unaware toddlers on the landscape of consciousness.
It is no longer cute to crap ourselves.
Buddy Wakefield
-
There was a sentence in your letter that struck me, “I wish I were far away from everything, I am the cause of all, and bring only sorrow to everybody, I alone have brought all this misery on myself and others.” These words struck me because that same feeling, just the same, not more nor less, is also on my conscience.
Vincent Van Gogh
