Quote by Sarah J. Maas

“Light it up, Bryce!' -- Danika Then Bryce was laughing and sobbing as she screamed, 'LIGHT IT UP, DANIKA! LIGHT IT UP! LIGHT IT UP! LIGHT IT UP!' And soul to soul with the friend whom she had not forgotten, the friend who had not forgotten her, even in death, Bryce made the Drop.”

“It was like the misery felt by an old man who has lived to see his son's body swing on the gallows. He begins to keen and weep for his boy, watching the raven gloat where he hangs: he can be of no help. The wisdom of age is worthless to him. Morning after morning, he wakes to remember that his child is gone; he has no interest in living on until another heir is born in the hall, now that his first-born has entered death's dominion forever. He gazes sorrowfully at his son's dwelling, the banquet hall bereft of all delight, the windswept hearthstone; the horsemen are sleeping, the warriors under ground; what was is no more. No tunes from the harp, no cheer raised in the yard. Alone with his longing, he lies down on his bed and sings a lament; everything seems too large, the steadings and the fields.”

“PAIN. The pain doesn't elevate, it shrivels. Far from improving us, it weakens us. It does not lead to sublime thoughts, it condemns people to no longer think at all. Pain is not an ennobling privilege, quite a knocking down scourge. LA DOULEUR. " La douleur n’élève pas, elle ratatine. Loin de nous améliorer, elle nous amenuise. Elle ne conduit pas à des pensées sublimes, elle condamne à ne plus penser du tout. La douleur n’a rien d’un privilège qui ennoblit, tout d’un fléau qui fout à terre. " ( Journal d'un amour perdu - 2019 - Éric-Emmanuel Schmitt )”

“Here's the truth about grief: loss gets integrated, not overcome. However long it takes, your heart and your mind will carve out a new life amid this weirdly devastated landscape. Little by little, pain and love will find ways to coexist. It won't feel wrong or bad to have survived. It will be, simply, a life of your own making: the most beautiful life it can be, given what is yours to live.”
