"Tell the truth through whichever veil comes to hand – but tell it. Resign yourself to the lifelong sadness that comes from never ­being satisfied."

"The fruit of empty hopes is more bitter than the saddest truth."

"One need not be a chamber to be haunted."

"I will be stronger than my sadness."

"Some things take so longBut how do I explainWhen not too many peopleCan see we're all the sameAnd because of all their tearsYour eyes can't hope to seeThe beauty that surrounds themNow, isn't it a pity"

"Tears shed for another person are not a sign of weakness. They are a sign of a pure heart."

"Tears, idle tears, I know not what they mean, Tears from the depths of some devine despairRise in the heart, and gather to the eyes, In looking on the happy autumn fields, And thinking of the days that are no more."
