No Joy Quotes

“Stay away from any minute of joy that can bring you a lifetime of sorrow.”
― Dennis E. Adonis

“...there were few feelings worse than loneliness. Or maybe there actually weren't any, and loneliness was the worst, because it was pervasive, hard to shake, even when you weren't alone, and it worked overtime to convince you that contentment and joy were possible.

But that was a lie.

When you truly spent most of your time alone? When you had to? And not because you wanted to? There was no joy to be found.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, Fall of Ruin and Wrath
