Thief Grief

Famous quotes containing the words thief and/or grief:

“A woman hostage
will call a young thief “hero”
and look at him with love,
even if she’s lost her mind with grief
because her family
has been slaughtered.
As far as virtues go,
who can hold a grudge?”
—Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)

“I want to love and be loved.... I don’t want a world without love or grief or beauty. I’d rather die.”
