Famous quotes containing the words emotional and/or distress:
“People who love only once in their lives are ... shallow people. What they call their loyalty, and their fidelity, I call either the lethargy of custom or their lack of imagination. Faithfulness is to the emotional life what consistency is to the life of the intellectsimply a confession of failures.”
—Oscar Wilde (18541900)
“...those who marry will experience distress in this life, and I would spare you that.”
—Bible: New Testament, 1 Corinthians 7:28.
Paul.
