Consolation Quotes
-
Some gentlemen have made an amazing figure in literature by general discontent with the universe as a trap of dulness into which their great souls have fallen by mistake; but the sense of a stupendous self and an insignificant world may have its consolations. Lydgate's discontent was much harder to bear; it was the sense that there was a grand existence in thought and effective action lying around him, while his self was being narrowed into the miserable isolation of egoistic fears, and vulgar anxieties for events that might allay such fears.
George Eliot -
In the voice of mirth there may be excitement, but in the tones of mourning there is consolation.

When I am not too sad to listen, music is my consolation.
Marcel Proust -
What mattered to her was that she loved God, whether or not He granted her the consolation and joy of His felt presence.
Brian Kolodiejchuk -
They that are fated to be fools, have one consolation, that they are fated also to be ignorant of it.
