Quotations regarding 'Misery'

Choose a letter: 
Man hands on misery to man. It deepens like a coastal shelf. Get out as early as you can, and don't have any kids yourself.
Philip Larkin, English Poet (1922-1985)
At some stages of your life you will deal with things and at others you are overwhelmed with misery and anxiety.
Nigella Lawson, British Journalist (1960-  )
Misery is manifold. The wretchedness of the earth is multiform.
Matt LeBlanc, American Actor (1967-  )
I find the earth to be a place of misery in which I am surrounded by the conformity that kills society.
Matt LeBlanc, American Actor (1967-  )
Part of every misery is, so to speak, the misery's shadow or reflection: the fact that you don't merely suffer but have to keep on thinking about the fact that you suffer. I not only live each endless day in grief, but live each day thinking about living each day in grief.
C. S. Lewis, British Author (1898-1963)
Companions, in misery and worse, that is what we all are, and to try to change this substantially avails us nothing.
Franz Liszt, Hungarian Composer (1811-1886)
My life has run from misery to happiness.
Loretta Lynn, American Musician (1935-  )
I have no doubt but that the misery of the lower classes will be found to abate whenever the Government assumes a freer aspect and the laws favor a subdivision of Property.

The superior power of population cannot be checked without producing misery or vice.
Thomas Malthus, English Economist (1766-1834)
Your dear baby has died innocent and blameless, and has been called away by an all wise and merciful Creator, most probably from a life to misery and misfortune, and most certainly to one of happiness and bliss.
George Mason, American Statesman (1725-1792)
It would be stupid tameness, and unaccountable folly, for whole nations to suffer one unreasonable, ambitious and cruel man, to wanton and riot in their misery.
Jonathan Mayhew, American Clergyman (1720-1766)
Not to discontinue our allegiance, in this case, would be to join with the sovereign in promoting the slavery and misery of that society, the welfare of which, we ourselves, as well as our sovereign, are indispensably obliged to secure and promote, as far as in us lies.
Jonathan Mayhew, American Clergyman (1720-1766)
Life is so fast these days, and we're exposed to so much information. Television makes us a witness to such misery.
Gates McFadden, American Actress (1949-  )
My school days were the happiest days of my life; which should give you some indication of the misery I've endured over the past twenty-five years.
Paul Merton, British Comedian (1957-  )
Money can't buy you happiness but it does bring you a more pleasant form of misery.
Spike Milligan, Irish Comedian (1918-2002)
Misery loves company, but company does not reciprocate.
Addison Mizner, American Architect
If misery loves company, then triumph demands an audience.
Brian Moore, Irish Novelist (1921-1999)
So far I haven't really been prominent enough to get critical attention focused on me. So, of course, I fully expect bad reviews, but I will be wracked with misery as a result.
Emily Mortimer, British Actress (1971-  )
Misery, mutilation, destruction, terror, starvation and death characterize the process of war and form a principal part of the product.
