Out of sorrow entire worlds have been built Out of longing great wonders have been willed

Nick Cave
About This Quote

Shakespeare said, "Out of sorrow entire worlds have been built" in "Romeo and Juliet". When dealing with pain, one can create something wonderful. But when dealing with loss, he said, "Out of longing great wonders have been willed.” That is when you can create something wonderful again.
