Relief has its place. But what the people need is not relief, but release - release of their own potential for development.
Y. C. James Yen
Image
Relief is a wonderful emotion, highly underrated. In fact, I prefer it to elation or joy. Relief lets the air out of the Tire of Pain.
Adriana Trigiani
Image
Relief loosens tongues beyond measure.
Stephen King
Image
Relief work does not consist entirely in wearisome appeals ... it has its moments of enchantment, its adventures, its unexpected vistas into new worlds
Eglantyne Jebb
Image
Relief spilled into me. He wanted to live. He just didn't know how.
Kim Harrison

Relief is a short-lived emotion, passive and thin. The agony of doubt disappears, leaving little memory of how it really felt. Life aligns behind the new truth.
Ann Brashares
Image
Relief, or redistribution of income, voluntary or coerced, is never the true solution of poverty, but at best a makeshift, which may mask the disease and mitigate the pain, but provides no basic cure.
Henry Hazlitt
Image
Relief of distress or compassion shown to victims of misfortune. A blessing that is an act of Divine compassion.
Noah Webster
Image
To entertain at home is both a relief and a rediscovery - of rooms and settings, of your favorite things, and particularly of your own tastes and ideas.
Martha Stewart
Image
And, as long as you can make yourself go on choosing the pain over the relief, you can keep going.
Lawrence Block

Travel gives a character of experience to our knowledge, and brings the figures on the tablet of memory into strong relief.
Henry Theodore Tuckerman
Image
All looks yellow to a jaundiced eye that habitually compares everything to something better. But by changing that habit to comparing everything to something worse, even making it a game, that person can find gratitude, relief and happiness where-ever they go and whatever they experience, guaranteed!
Alexander Pope
Image
The labor movement was the principal force that transformed misery and despair into hope and progress. Out of its bold struggles, economic and social reform gave birth to unemployment insurance, old age pensions, government relief for the destitute, and, above all, new wage levels that meant not mere survival but a tolerable life.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Image
There's relief in white space for the reader.
Leni Zumas
Image
I`m going to work night and day to make sure that Americans get the tax relief that they need and deserve, and that our economy needs and deserves.
Jay Carney
Image
As paradoxical as it may seem a great sculptor is as much a colourist as the best painter, or rather the best engraver. He plays so skillfully with all the resources of relief, he blends so well the boldness of light with the modesty of shadow, that his sculptures please one, as much as the most charming etchings.
Auguste Rodin
Image
Sculpture is more divine, and more like Nature, That fashions all her works in high relief, And that is Sculpture. This vast ball, the Earth, Was moulded out of clay, and baked in fire Men, women, and all animals that breathe Are statues, and not paintings.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Image
I was so worried that you wouldn’t want to know me once you found out.” I signed, relief flooding through me. “Are you kidding me?” Xavier reached out and curled a lock of my hair around his finger. “Surely I’ve got to be the luckiest guy in the world.” “How do you figure that?” “Isn’t it obvious? I’ve got my own little piece of Heaven right here.
Alexandra Adornetto
Image
A person could last a long while without touch, but once someone had experienced the comfort, joy, and sheer relief of another human body close, the desire to experience that again was hard to deny.
Mary Johnson
Image
A single and distinct luminous body causes stronger relief in the objects than a diffused light as may be seen by comparing one side of a landscape illuminated by the sun, and one overshadowed by clouds, and illuminated only by the diffused light of the atmosphere.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
And though the meaning fits, there's no relief in this. I miss my beautiful friend.
Jeff Buckley
Image
The back is like a frame, the front body, the painting that it throws into relief.
