"Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief."
"It is a curious sensation: the sort of pain that goes mercifully beyond our powers of feeling. When your heart is broken, your boats are burned: nothing matters any more. It is the end of happiness and the beginning of peace."
"I have known sorrow and learned to aid the wretched."
"When griping grief the heart doth wound,
and doleful dumps the mind opresses,
then music, with her silver sound,
with speedy help doth lend redress."
