George Bernard Shaw originally made this quote. Many times, it has since been quoted without the rest of it, which, in its entirety, says: "Life wasn't meant to be easy, my child, but take courage: it can be delightful!" Australian Prime Minister Malcom Fraser (1975-1983) is often remembered as quoting it out of context.

Do you have the right to miss a person even if he said he wanted so much space that you should not bother him?
Yes, you have a right to miss him because those are your
feelings and you have every right to them. The hurt will eventually
subside and you can move on in your life. If this person is meant
to be in your life they will be and if they do not come back into
your life then they were never meant to be.
