“There is no greater sorrow
Than to recall a happy time
When miserable.”
― Dante Alighieri

“The thirst for something other than what we have…to bring something new, even if it is worse, some emotion, some sorrow; when our sensibility, which happiness has silenced like an idle harp, wants to resonate under some hand, even a rough one, and even if it might be broken by it.”
― Marcel Proust, Swann’s Way

“When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.”
― Kahlil Gibran

“The secret source of humor is not joy but sorrow; there is no humor in heaven.”
― Mark Twain
