Remorse Quotes - Page 11

• Some years ago, when the images which this world affords first opened upon me, when I felt the cheering warmth of summer and heard the rustling of the leaves and the warbling of the birds, and these were all to me, I should have wept to die; now it is my only consolation. Polluted by crimes and torn by the bitterest remorse, where can I find rest but in death?

  Mary Wollstonecraft

• Como toda flor se marchita y como toda juventud se va, así la vida en cada etapa, así cada virtud, así nuestra comprensión de la verdad florece en su día y puede no durar para siempre. Puesto que la vida puede convocarnos a cada edad, prepárate, corazón, para la despedida, para el nuevo empeño, prepárate con valentía y sin remordimientos para encontrar la nueva luz que los viejos lazos no pueden dar. En todos los comienzos habita una fuerza mágica que nos protege y nos ayuda a vivir.

  Hermann Hesse
