“The remarkable thing is that it is the crowded life that is most easily remembered. A life full of turns, achievements, disappointments, surprises, and crises is a life full of landmarks. The empty life has even its few details blurred, and cannot be remembered with certainty.”
Eric Hoffer
“The ache of grief is always there, but the emptiness will lift one day. Their life to us the greatest gift, and only by living can it be repaid.”
Jill Hanna
“People in this world are busy with earning money,loving people,quarreling with each other,protecting their loved ones,being jealousy,hating their enemies,over taking people in many ways.But all these activities would be lasting for a limited time.Humans understand the emptiness of their lives when they get sick,then they think about only their sickness but the other things in life and they just struggle to get recovered from suffering or die without suffering.”
Nishi De Silva
“You can shed tears that she is gone, or you can smile because she has lived.You can close your eyes and pray that she'll come back,or you can open your eyes and see all she's left.Your heart can be empty because you can't see her,or you can be full of the love you shared.You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday, or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.You can remember her only that she is gone,or you can cherish her memory and let it live on.You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back.Or you can do what she'd want:smile, open your eyes, love and go on.”
David Harkins
“We are like these children, holding a marble in their left hand and not letting it go until they are sure that the swap is in their right hand: we would like to have a new life but without losing the former life. We refuse the moment of passage, the moment of the empty hand.”
Christian Bobin (french author)
“Our anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow, but only empties today of its strength”
Charles H. Spurgeon
