“The dog tags were a source of anguish for my father. To have the tags missing is to have a piece of the puzzle missing, and my father thought of it like that. It haunted him until his death. The tags being returned in a responsible way gives him some sort of peace.”
Roberta Crawford
“What makes loneliness an anguish is not that I have no one to share my burden, but this: I have only my own burden to bear.”
Dag Hammarskjold
“Friendship needs no words - it is solitude delivered from the anguish of loneliness.”
“Where is our usual manager of mirth?What revels are in hand? Is there no play,To ease the anguish of a torturing hour?”
William Shakespeare
“I see a lilly on thy brow, / With anguish moist and fever dew; / And on thy cheek a fading rose / Fast withereth too. I met a lady in the meads / Full beautiful, a faery's child; / Her hair was long, her foot was light, / And her eyes were wild.”
John Keats
“Anguish of mind has driven thousands to suicide; anguish of body, none. This proves that the health of the mind is of far more consequence to our happiness than the health of the body, although both are deserving of much more attention than either of them receive.”
Charles Caleb Colton
“The anguish of the neurotic individual is the same as that of the saint. The neurotic, the saint are engaged in the same battle. Their blood flows from similar wounds. But the first one gasps and the other one gives.”
Georges Bataille
