Who said “Oh, fear not in a world like this, and thou shalt know erelong, know how sublime a thing…”?

“A man will renounce any pleasures you like but he will not give up his suffering.”

“Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it.”

“It is not true that suffering ennobles the character; happiness does that sometimes, but suffering, for the most part, makes men petty and vindictive.”

“Most people get a fair amount of fun out of their lives, but on balance life is suffering, and only the very young or the very foolish imagine otherwise.”

“The afflicted are not listened to. They are like someone whose tongue has been cut out and who occasionally forgets the fact. When they move their lips no ear perceives any sound. And they themselves soon sink into impotence in the use of language, because of the certainty of not being heard.”

“The secret anniversaries of the heart.”

“All things come round to him who will but wait.”

“In this world a man must either be anvil or hammer.”

“Know how sublime a thing it is to suffer and be strong.”

“Talk not of wasted affection; affection never was wasted.”

“All things must change to something new, to something strange.”
