“The tears, when they come to some men, are worse than beatings. They're wounded worse by sobbing, men like that, than they are by boots and batons. Tears begin in the heart, but some of us deny the heart so often, and for so long, that when it speaks we hear not one but a hundred sorrows in the heartbreak. We know that crying is a good and natural thing. We know that crying isn't a weakness, but a kind of strength. Still, the weeping rips us root by tangled root from the earth, and we crash like fallen trees when we cry.” KnowsMenHeartKindLongStillsEarthSpeakNaturalTreeCryTearsSorrowWeaknessHundredRootsDenyFallenBootsCrashWoundedRipWeepingShantaramTangledNatural ThingsSobbingBatonFallen Trees Book:Shantaram: A Novel Source: Shantaram: A Novel

“In her mind's eye she saw it, saw it all at last: the rolling armies and the flames of battle; the graves and pits and dying cries of a hundred million souls; the spreading darkness, like a black wing stretching over the earth; the last, bitter hours of cruelty and sorrow, and the terrible, final flights; death's great dominion over all, and, at the last, empty cities, becalmed by the silence of a hundred years.

“To wait. In our lives we know joy, anger, sorrow, and a hundred other emotions, but these emotions all together occupy a bare one percent of our time. The remaining ninety-nine percent is just living in waiting. I wait in momentary expectation, feeling as though my breasts are being crushed, for the sound in the corridor of the footsteps of happiness. Empty. Oh, life is too painful, the reality that confirms the universal belief that it is best not to be born.” KnowsFeelingsRealityTogetherLife IsJoyBeliefWaitingSoundBornEmotionOur LivesSorrowExpectationsPercentHundredEmptyUniversalPainfulNineOur TimeBreastsNinetyCrushedFootstepsMomentaryCorridorsNinety Nine Author:Osamu Dazai
“The woods are never solitary — they are full of whispering, beckoning, friendly life. But the sea is a mighty soul, forever moaning of some great, unshareable sorrow, which shuts it up into itself for all eternity. We can never pierce its infinite mystery — we may only wander, awed and spellbound, on the outer fringe of it. The woods call to us with a hundred voices, but the sea has one only — a mighty voice.” HumansMaySoulVoiceCompanyForeverMysterySeaSorrowHundredEternityInfiniteBoundsWoodsWanderFriendlySpellsSolitaryFringeWhisperingPierceMajesticArchangelMoaningBeckoning Author:Lucy Maud Montgomery
