This Too Shall Pass

"It looks like I'm into witches," he said, piercing me with his alluring blue eyes. The words that followed that dumb pickup line didn't matter. I was already falling for Felix Montel, Beta of the Moon Blade Pack. I ignored all warnings. I, Nova Laurent, a witch, took his hand and followed him, knowing he would ruin me. "Relax, love," he whispered, stroking my hair. "It's your first time with a wolf, isn't it?" I wasn't prepared for the passion he had given me. I'd become addicted to his touch, his scent, and his way of loving. My feelings for him went far beyond desire, and I had given my heart to him before I realized it. But the moment he was about to give me his in return, death took him away… After more than a year of endless torment, I decided to do the unthinkable—I summoned the Moon Goddess and begged her to bring my loved one back. "This life comes with a price. Are you prepared?" I would agree to anything just to have him back. I didn't hesitate to answer yes, even without knowing what the Goddess was going to take. Now my loved one returned, but none of us could live the life we had before. Felix's resurrection changed everything around us and changed him as well. He was no longer a beta. He was… something else. Werewolf Kingdom Stories – Book Two* *I recommend reading book one first, but it's not necessary to understand the second book's storyline.

How Did This Too Shall Pass Become A Song Title?

4 Answers2025-08-30 22:24:21

There’s something almost cinematic to me about how a proverb turns into a song title — it’s like watching a tiny, weathered sign get repainted and hung above someone’s chorus. The phrase 'this too shall pass' has been doing rounds for centuries as a consoling line in folk tales, poetry, and sermons, and at some point songwriters started borrowing it because it’s short, mysterious, and emotionally punchy.

I think songwriters pick it for two big reasons: it’s universal and it’s versatile. Universal because everyone knows the feeling of impermanence, so the title instantly connects. Versatile because you can write a ballad that comforts, a punk track that sneers, or an indie single that watches the world drift by — same phrase, different moods. That’s why artists from different genres have used 'This Too Shall Pass' as a title; one of the more visible cases is OK Go, whose mechanical Rube Goldberg video turned the phrase into a visual metaphor for cause-and-effect and impermanence.

There’s also a practical side: titles aren’t copyrighted, so multiple musicians can reuse beloved proverbs without legal headaches. For me, hearing a new 'This Too Shall Pass' feels like opening a familiar book to a fresh page — the promise is the same, but the story inside is new. Next time you hear it, listen to how the music shapes the proverb’s mood.

What Is The Origin Of This Too Shall Pass Phrase?

4 Answers2025-08-30 04:17:58

I still smile when I hear 'this too shall pass'—my grandma used to tuck it into conversations like a little life jacket. On the origin front, it's messy but fascinating: scholars trace versions of the idea across Persian, Hebrew, and Ottoman folk traditions. In Persian the phrase shows up as 'in niz bogzarad' (این نیز بگذرد), and many believe a Persian or Sufi source helped spread the proverb through medieval storytelling.

One popular tale involves a powerful king who asks for a ring that will make him happy when he is sad and humble when he is proud; the jeweler inscribes something like 'this too shall pass' so the ruler learns impermanence. Jewish folklore has a similar story about King Solomon—sometimes the same tale migrates between cultures. In the 19th century the saying reached English readers through translations of Middle Eastern tales, and even Abraham Lincoln famously used the sentiment, saying essentially 'this, too, shall pass away.' I like how the phrase acts as a tiny philosophy: comforting in hard times, grounding in good ones, and perfect for pocket meditation when my day gets dramatic.

Which Novels Feature This Too Shall Pass As A Theme?

4 Answers2025-08-30 03:22:55

Diving into books on a rainy afternoon, I notice how often the quiet thread 'this too shall pass' weaves through very different stories. In 'Les Misérables' it's enormous—Valjean's long arc from prisoner to redeemed guardian shows pain softening into purpose, while Fantine's tragedy reminds me that endurance doesn't always mean a neat, happy ending. That bittersweet tension is what makes the theme so human.

Other novels treat the idea more gently. In 'The Alchemist' the message is almost cheerful: setbacks are part of the journey and will eventually shift into something useful. In contrast, 'The Bell Jar' feels raw and intimate about recovery; it's not a tidy reassurance, but it still traces a path from suffocation toward breathing again.

I always pair these books with small rituals—a mug of tea, the window fogging up, a playlist that matches the mood. If you're looking for novels that remind you of impermanence and resilience, mix a few: one for hope, one for realism, and one that makes you feel seen. That variety keeps the theme honest and oddly comforting.

Which Musicians Sampled The Phrase This Too Shall Pass?

4 Answers2025-08-30 11:49:35

I get a little giddy whenever I trace a phrase through music — 'this too shall pass' is one of those timeless lines that keeps turning up in surprising places. Broadly speaking, musicians fall into two camps with it: some use the phrase as a title or lyric (that’s the obvious, upfront use), and others actually sample spoken recordings that contain the line as a texture or hook. One clear, easy-to-find case is the rock band OK Go, who released the song 'This Too Shall Pass' as a single and music-video centerpiece; that’s not sampling so much as titling, but it shows how visible the phrase is.

If you’re trying to find artists who literally sampled the phrase — meaning they lifted a recorded spoken instance and put it into a new track — it’s trickier, because the proverb itself is public-domain and there are tons of spoken-word recordings (sermons, interviews, speeches) that contain it. So producers often sample the same voice clips or field recordings rather than the proverb itself. I usually check sites like WhoSampled, Genius, and Discogs, and listen for the exact vocal timbre to connect a sample back to its original. If you want, I can dig through those databases and pull specific sampled instances for you.

Which TV Episodes Are Titled This Too Shall Pass?

4 Answers2025-08-30 05:34:44

You'd be surprised how often the phrase 'This Too Shall Pass' gets used as a TV episode title — it's one of those tiny, poetic lines writers love to slap on stories about recovery, endings, or quiet turning points.

From my own digging habits, the best way to find exact episodes is to search episode databases with quotes around the phrase, for example searching site:imdb.com "'This Too Shall Pass'" or using TV guide pages and the episode lists on Wikipedia. Those searches usually surface multiple results across very different genres: dramas, sitcoms, animated shows, even reality TV. I’ve noticed that the title crops up most when a character experiences loss, a big life-change, or a bittersweet resolution — writers love that old proverb for emotional beats.

If you want a quick list, start with IMDb and TVMaze, then cross-check on Wikipedia’s episode lists for the series you care about. If you want, tell me a genre or a show and I’ll narrow it down for you — it’s actually kind of fun to watch how the same title gets used in wildly different storytelling contexts.

How Can Writers Weave This Too Shall Pass Into A Novel?

4 Answers2025-08-30 08:50:13

When I want a theme like 'this too shall pass' to resonate instead of sounding like a fortune-cookie line, I tuck it into the world in tiny, believable ways.

Once I scribbled that phrase on a coffee shop napkin and left it shoved into a library book; later a character finds it and thinks it's a joke from their past. That little moment does so much: it becomes an artifact that travels with the reader, showing how the idea moves through lives without having to state the moral every chapter. I also like turning it into a motif — a song hummed by different characters, a worn charm, or a proverb in a folktale someone tells at a campfire — so the meaning flexes depending on context.

Practically, alternate scenes where consequences linger with ones where they fade. Use sensory details (the taste of salt tears, the sudden spring on a sidewalk) to show time's work. If you want grit, let the phrase fail first — show it as hollow in the midst of trauma — then let it earn its truth slowly, through small mercies. That slow reveal, rather than grand speeches, is what keeps readers believing.

What Merchandise Features The Quote This Too Shall Pass?

5 Answers2025-08-30 05:43:49

I still get a little thrill when I spot 'this too shall pass' etched somewhere unexpected — it’s one of those tiny, universal comforts. I’ve seen it on everything from delicate silver necklaces and hammered rings to leather bracelets with tiny metal plates. At a cozy market stall last year I bought a thin cuff bracelet with the phrase stamped on the inside so only I could see it; it’s the kind of wearable that feels personal.

Beyond jewelry, the quote shows up all over home decor: framed prints, wooden signs, canvas art and even subtle throw pillows. It’s also really common on mugs and stainless-steel tumblers — perfect for that morning coffee reminder. If you like paper things, there are lots of notebooks, bookmarks, and planners with the phrase printed in calligraphy or minimalist fonts.

For custom touches, Etsy and local craft fairs are goldmines; if you prefer mass-market options, Amazon, Redbubble, and Society6 carry plenty. If you want something truly unique, many makers will laser-engrave or hand-paint the quote onto reclaimed wood or slate. It’s a small phrase but it fits everywhere, and sometimes that quiet reminder is exactly what I need.

What Fanfics Revolve Around This Too Shall Pass As A Plot?

4 Answers2025-08-30 13:33:31

Late-night scrolling turns into treasure hunts for me, and stories built around the idea that 'this too shall pass' are my cozy, salt-on-the-wound reads. I gravitate toward hurt/comfort and slow-recovery fics where characters walk through grief, injury, or exile and come out quieter but whole. Fandoms that do this especially well are 'Supernatural' (so many Winchester-healing arcs), 'Harry Potter' post-war slices, and 'Steven Universe'-style gentle mends where identity and trauma are carefully unpacked.

If you want to find them quickly, search for tags like 'hurt/comfort', 'healing', 'post-canon', 'redemption', or 'angst with a happy ending' on sites like AO3, Wattpad, or FanFiction.net. I also love crossover takes where someone from 'Doctor Who' shows a companion how time softens sharp edges, or a 'Mass Effect' fic where a long mission leaves room for slow reclamation of joy.

My go-to reading ritual: tea, headphones, and a playlist with quiet piano, because those lines where a character finally breathes are the parts that stick. If you like recommendations, I can dig up a few recs from specific fandoms next time—I always have a list growing in my bookmarks.

What Films Include The Line This Too Shall Pass In Dialogue?

4 Answers2025-08-30 23:52:13

I get asked this kind of line-drop all the time in chat threads, because 'this too shall pass' is one of those little proverbs filmmakers and screenwriters love to drop for emotional heft. From what I've dug up and what I've personally heard in films, the phrase shows up a lot in dramas and family movies—usually from a mentor, parent, or a weary protagonist trying to steady someone.

I can’t promise an exhaustive, definitive list off the top of my head, but the best way I’ve found to pin down exact occurrences is to search subtitle and script repositories (like OpenSubtitles, IMSDb, and script PDFs), then cross-check with YouTube clips or timestamped scene transcripts. Fans often note occurrences in forum threads and subtitle comments too, so a targeted Google search for "\"this too shall pass\" site:opensubtitles.org" or "\"this too shall pass\" script" usually surfaces examples. That method caught several indie films, holiday dramas, and a few mainstream titles where characters literally say the line. If you want, tell me whether you care about mainstream studio films only, and I’ll hunt down specific titles and timecodes for you—I love a good subtitle-scavenger hunt.

How Do Manga Authors Use This Too Shall Pass Symbolically?

4 Answers2025-08-30 11:27:56

I still get a little chill when a quiet panel slows down to nothing — that pause is where manga authors often plant the idea of 'this too shall pass' and let it breathe. I love how they'll use seasons like a character: sakura falling to signal endings and new beginnings, heavy winter snow for isolation that gradually thaws into muddy spring, or a single stray leaf caught in a gutter to show time moving on without drama.

Visually, it's not just what happens but how it's framed. Long silent gutters, a close-up on a wristwatch with a cracked face, a last panel showing the same street at dusk months later — those things whisper that pain, victory, or boredom is temporary. In stories like 'March Comes in Like a Lion' the passage of time is almost a character itself; in shonen works like 'Naruto' the trope becomes fuel for training montages and later growth. Even comedies will flip it into a punchline, turning a character's meltdown into a lesson that the next chapter will be different.

On a rainy night with my favorite mug, that's the part that keeps me turning pages: the promise that whatever mess the protagonist's in is not eternal. It doesn't erase the hurt, it layers it with hope, and that bittersweet mix is what I look for when I want to feel grounded but not stuck.
