Famous quotes containing the word misery:

    Amour is the one human activity of any importance in which laughter and pleasure preponderate, if ever so slightly, over misery and pain.
    Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

    The misery of the middle-aged woman is a grey and hopeless thing, born of having nothing to live for, of disappointment and resentment at having been gypped by consumer society, and surviving merely to be the butt of its unthinking scorn.
    Germaine Greer (b. 1939)

    Is wretchedness deprived that benefit
    To end itself by death? ‘Twas yet some comfort
    When misery could beguile the tyrant’s rage
    And frustrate his proud will.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
