Marcel ProustIt is grief that develops the powers of the mind.
About This Quote
Grief is a very important part of life. It is the way that we grow, change, and mature. Grief helps us to see things in a new way, make us think more deeply about ourselves, and help us to grow as people. Grief can also bring out our best qualities. If we are able to feel grief at the loss of someone we love, it shows that we are a compassionate person who can understand pain.
