I tell you, hopeless grief is passionless.

Elizabeth Barrett Browning | Hopeless grief

Nothing becomes so offensive so quickly as grief. When fresh it finds someone to console it, but when it becomes chronic, it is ridiculed, and rightly.

Seneca – Grief, Offensive

She was no longer wrestling with the grief, but could sit down with it as a lasting companion and make it a sharer in her thoughts.

George Eliot – Grief

It is foolish to tear one’s hair in grief, as though sorrow would be made less by baldness.

Cicero – Grief, sorrow

Grief is the agony of an instant; the indulgence of grief the blunder of a life.

Benjamin Disraeli – Grief quote

There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are messengers of overwhelming grief…and unspeakable love.

Washington Irving on grief
