This is a quote from the movie The Village. It means that sorrow is unavoidable. That though you might try to find a paradise, where there is nothing to make you sad, you can't escape it, sorrow is part of being human.
In stanzas 9 and 10 of "The Raven," the narrator is desperately seeking solace from the bird, asking if there is respite in the afterlife from the grief he feels over his lost love Lenore. The raven's response of "Nevermore" signifies that there is no escape from this pain, deepening the narrator's despair and sorrow.
