Quotes about languish
1. And, even yet, I dare not let it languish,Dare not indulge in memory’s rapturous pain;Once drinking deep of that divinest anguish,How could I seek the empty world again?
- Emily Brontë, Poems by Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell
2. A dim vastness is spread before our souls; the perceptions of our mind are as obscure as those of our vision... But alas! when we have attained our object, when the distant 'there' becomes the present 'here,' all is changed; we are as poor and circumscribed as ever, and our souls still languish for unattainable happiness.
- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, The Sorrows of Young Werther
