Misery Quotes
-
There is a tide in the affairs of men, Which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune. Omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat. And we must take the current when it serves, or lose our ventures.
William Shakespeare

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
-
It is He who gave to this intellectual nature free-will of such a kind, that if he wishes to forsake God his blessedness, misery should forthwith result.
Saint Augustine
-
There is no sin so profound, no despondency so low, no misery so abject, but the love of Christ is deeper.
F. B. Meyer
-
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
-
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

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

Simplicity of life, even the barest, is not a misery, but the very foundation of refinement.
William Morris
-
Without bread all is misery.
William Cobbett
-
What else is there for the rich to do,
If not to relieve the poor of their misery?
Pancho Villa
-
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
-
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
-
If there is technological advance without social advance, there is, almost automatically, an increase in human misery.

...life brings you everything at once. You can be in misery because of the misery of your daughter at the same time as you're exhilarated by a new romance, a romance that feels like the first act of a new life.
Brian Morton

William Wilberforce
-
Sin carries in it its own misery.
John Piper
