misery, n.All

Misery is that moment when the sight alone of the whole form of the human body in the mirror gives the subject an imaginary mastery over his body.

Misery is so little appertaining to our nature,, and happiness so much so, that we in the same degree of illusion only lament over that which has pained us, but leave unnoticed that which has rejoiced us.

Misery is sometimes worse for having once been happy.

Misery is easily excited to anger.

Misery don't never call ahead. That's why you have to stay awake. Otherwise it just walks on in your door.

Misery is so much a part of life that in order to bear it, our psychic apparatus has developed certain palliative measures such as powerful deflections, which cause us to make light of our misery... substitutive satisfactions, which diminish it... and intoxicating substances, which make us insensible to it.

Misery is too great for men for them to do without faith.

Misery is caused for the most part, not by a heavy crash of disaster, but by the corrosion of less visible evils, which canker enjoyment and undermine security.
