We deem those happy who from the experience of life have learnt to bear its ills without being overcome by them. ~ Carl Jung
Being Sad quotes by Carl Jung
What do you know about being sad?'
'I know you don't need a reason. ~ Aryn Kyle
Being Sad quotes by Aryn Kyle
Why do people spend their time being sad when they could be happy? ~ Andy Warhol
Being Sad quotes by Andy Warhol
Does Being Happy simply Create More Time, in the way that Being Sad, as we all know, slows time and thickens it, like cornstarch in a sauce?), ~ Claire Messud
Being Sad quotes by Claire Messud
Well, I thought a lot of things. But mostly, I thought that your being sad was much more important to me than Craig not being your boyfriend anymore. And if it meant that I would never get to think of you that way, as long as you were happy, it was okay. That's when I realized that I really loved you. ~ Stephen Chbosky
Being Sad quotes by Stephen Chbosky
There's a lot of angry people in the world, Jake - lots and lots of angry people. Some are angry down inside where nobody sees. Others you can tell just from looking at them. I've seen a lot of folks with anger inside them, Jake. It's not pleasant to see. Anger's not a pretty thing. It makes people miserable inside. Then there's other folks that get sad and discouraged at all the hardships that come in their lives. Maybe they don't get angry, but they go around being sad and miserable and letting people know it. They want people to feel sorry for them, and that's not too pretty to see either." "So ~ Michael R. Phillips
Being Sad quotes by Michael R. Phillips
Singing about your sadness unburdens your soul. But the blues hollers shouted about more than being sad. They were also delivering messages in musical code. If the master was coming, you might sing a hidden warning to the other field hands ... The blues could warn you what was coming. I could see the blues was about survival. ~ B.B. King
Being Sad quotes by B.B. King
What may seem depressing or even tragic to one person may seem like an absolute scream to another person, especially if he has had between four and seven beers. ~ Dave Barry
Being Sad quotes by Dave Barry
I miss the comfort in being sad, ~ Frances Farmer
Being Sad quotes by Frances Farmer
There's so much more to life than finding someone who will want you, or being sad over someone who doesn't. There's a lot of wonderful time to be spent discovering yourself without hoping someone will fall in love with you along the way, and it doesn't need to be painful or empty. You need to fill yourself up with love. Not anyone else. Become a whole being on your own. Go on adventures, fall asleep in the woods with friends, wander around the city at night, sit in a coffee shop on your own, write on bathroom stalls, leave notes in library books, dress up for yourself, give to others, smile a lot. Do all things with love, but don't romanticize life like you can't survive without it. Live for yourself and be happy on your own. It isn't any less beautiful, I promise. ~ Emery Allen
Being Sad quotes by Emery Allen
I think there is something beautiful in reveling in sadness. The proof is how beautiful sad songs can be. So I don't think being sad is to be avoided. It's apathy and boredom you want to avoid. But feeling anything is good, I think. Maybe that's sadistic of me. ~ Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Being Sad quotes by Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Many of us live that life where we are only happy when there's a good day passing by, instead of being sad when there's one bad day passing leaving us confused. ~ Auliq Ice
Being Sad quotes by Auliq Ice
You need to try to master the ability to feel sad without actually being sad. ~ Laurie Anderson
Being Sad quotes by Laurie Anderson
There's a word in Japanese for being sad in the springtime - a whole word for just being sad - about how pretty the flowers are and how soon they're going to die. ~ Sarah Ruhl
Being Sad quotes by Sarah Ruhl
Mental illness

People assume you aren't sick
unless they see the sickness on your skin
like scars forming a map of all the ways you're hurting.

My heart is a prison of Have you tried?s
Have you tried exercising? Have you tried eating better?
Have you tried not being sad, not being sick?
Have you tried being more like me?
Have you tried shutting up?

Yes, I have tried. Yes, I am still trying,
and yes, I am still sick.

Sometimes monsters are invisible, and
sometimes demons attack you from the inside.
Just because you cannot see the claws and the teeth
does not mean they aren't ripping through me.
Pain does not need to be seen to be felt.

Telling me there is no problem
won't solve the problem.

This is not how miracles are born.
This is not how sickness works. ~ Emm Roy
Being Sad quotes by Emm Roy
Imagine that you had discovered gold or oil on a certain property, and no one else knew about it. Can you see yourself being sad and feeling deprived for having to gather all your resources and sacrifice them in order to buy that property? Hardly. Now you know what it is like to deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow Jesus. ~ Dallas Willard
Being Sad quotes by Dallas Willard
I think we forget for a reason. If you remembered every single bad thing that ever happened to you, you'd never stop being sad. ~ Elsie Chapman
Being Sad quotes by Elsie Chapman
never be sad abot the past, it is alredy hapened and you canot change it, instead, focus on wat truly matters: being sad abot the future ~ Jomny Sun
Being Sad quotes by Jomny Sun

Being Sad quotes by Jonathan Safran Foer
I've built something valuable here. But valuable things also have a way of being misunderstood in their own time. Everyone wants a quick fix. We're tired of being afraid, tired of being sad, tired of feeling overwhelmed, tired of feeling tired. We want the old day back, and we don't even remember them, and we want to push into the future, paradoxically, at top speed. Patience and forbearance become the first casualties of progress. ~ Dennis Lehane
Being Sad quotes by Dennis Lehane
The length of this document defends it well against the risk of its being read. ~ Winston Churchill
Being Sad quotes by Winston Churchill
Wholeness is not achieved by cutting off a portion of one's being, but by integration of the contraries. ~ C. G. Jung
Being Sad quotes by C. G. Jung
There is a moral imperative to seeing mental health through the same lens we use for other pathologies or illnesses. Being sad or overwhelmed is normal, much as being short of breath after a run is normal. Both become abnormal when they happen with no apparent cause and are hard to stop. Those situations need medical attention. ~ Matthew Goldfinger
Being Sad quotes by Matthew Goldfinger
Being happy may be great and being sad may sucks but remember that happiness always brings sadness and sadness always brings happiness all the time. ~ Miss Dumplings
Being Sad quotes by Miss Dumplings
I am not sad, he would repeat to himself over and over, I am not sad. As if he might one day convince himself. Or fool himself. Or convince others
The only thing worse than being sad is for others to know that you are sad. ~ Jonathan Safran Foer
Being Sad quotes by Jonathan Safran Foer
Having emotional connections to things that don't really exist, like looking at a green ball and really loving that green ball, and being sad whether it's around or not. Stuff like that. I've never done acting at this level before so it was a huge challenge for me. It was a hurdle to overcome just to survive. ~ Shia Labeouf
Being Sad quotes by Shia Labeouf
But listen to me. For one moment
quit being sad. Hear blessings
dropping their blossoms
around you. ~ Rumi
Being Sad quotes by Rumi
I had to admit that I had a strong tendency to date jokers. I couldn't say no to them. I would sit across from someone I was dating and try to imagine who in the entire world would date this nimrod other than me. But I always had to have a boyfriend. They distracted me from being sad. They baffled me with their stupidity. I refused to believe that finding love was difficult. ~ Heather O'Neill
Being Sad quotes by Heather O'Neill
In life, we have no control over the storms that we encounter. It's normal to feel devastated and sad, but to continue being sad is already our choice. ~ Kcat Yarza
Being Sad quotes by Kcat Yarza
Fog spilled from the heights of San Francisco like the liquid it almost was. On better days it spread across the bay and took over Oakland street by street, a thing you saw coming, a change you watched happening to you, a season on the move. Where it encountered redwoods, the most local of rains fell. Where it found open space, its weightless pale passage seemed both endless and like the end of all things. It was a temporary sadness, the more beautiful for being sad, the more precious for being temporary. It was the slow song in minor that the rock-and-roll sun then chased away. ~ Jonathan Franzen
Being Sad quotes by Jonathan Franzen
Nostalgia is a way of remembering people and places and things, and wishing things hadn't changed. It has a sweetness to it. Sadness is just
well
being sad. ~ Linda Lael Miller
Being Sad quotes by Linda Lael Miller
For the very first time the young are seeing history being made before it is censored by their elders. ~ Margaret Mead
Being Sad quotes by Margaret Mead
This is me being sad.
Maybe you think I'm being happy in this picture. Really I'm being sad but pretending I'm being happy. I'm doing that because I think people won't like me if I look sad. ~ Michael Rosen
Being Sad quotes by Michael Rosen
Being bold and adventurous and being sad and cautious seem like opposite personality types. However, these two paths to addiction are actually not mutually exclusive. The third way involves having both kinds of traits, where people alternatively fear and desire novelty and behavior swings from being impulsive and rash to being compulsive, fear driven, and stuck in rigid patterns. This is where some of the contradictions that have long confounded the study of addiction come into play - namely, some aspects seem precisely planned out, while others are obviously related to lack of restraint. My own story spirals around this paradoxical situation: I was driven enough to excel academically and fundamentally scared of change and of other people - yet I was also reckless enough to sell cocaine and shoot heroin. ~ Maia Szalavitz
Being Sad quotes by Maia Szalavitz
It's easier to be happy than to be sad. Being sad takes alot of work. It's exhausting ~ Gabrielle Zevin
Being Sad quotes by Gabrielle Zevin
I think people feel safer being sad than they do being joyful. ~ SARK
Being Sad quotes by SARK
A moral being is one who is capable of reflecting on his past actions and their motives - of approving of some and disapproving of others. ~ Charles Darwin
Being Sad quotes by Charles Darwin
The inextinguishable lesbian spark. You've surely heard about it? The one that was first ignited at Lesbos, because Sappho was so sad every time a young woman left the academy that she wrote her a poem. Fancy being sad because someone leaves! Perverted, that's what I call it. Don't you? ~ Gerd Brantenberg
Being Sad quotes by Gerd Brantenberg
I wander into dad's room. "Can i sleep with you?" I ask. On these nights i crawl into his bed. He curls his giant body around mine. Sometimes he holds my hair to his face and weeps and mutters thick-sounding nonsense in his sleep. I think i would do anything to make him stop being sad. ~ Leah Carroll
Being Sad quotes by Leah Carroll
When I get sad, I stop being sad and be awesome instead. ~ Barney Stinson
Being Sad quotes by Barney Stinson
Being sad with the right people is better than being happy with the wrong ones. ~ Philippos
Being Sad quotes by Philippos
As one gets older being sad and miserable can become a bit of a habit. To counteract this, she suggests making a point of savoring such things as the tastiness of a piece of fruit, or other small things we might have been prone to overlook during our younger, busier days. ~ Rumer Godden
Being Sad quotes by Rumer Godden
Well, I've got an idea," said Rabbit, "and here it is. We take Tigger for a long explore, somewhere where he's never been, and we lose him there, and next morning we find him again, and
mark my words
he'll be a different Tigger altogether."
"Why?" said Pooh.
"Because he'll be a Humble Tigger. Because he'll be a Sad Tigger, a Melancholy Tigger, a Small and Sorry Tigger, an Oh-Rabbit-I-am-glad-to-see-you Tigger. That's why."
"Will he be glad to see me and Piglet, too?"
"Of course."
"That's good," said Pooh.
"I should hate him to go on being Sad," said Piglet doubtfully.
"Tiggers never go on being Sad," explained Rabbit. ~ A.A. Milne
Being Sad quotes by A.A. Milne
What's the point of being sad?" he says. "We're here now. ~ Emily Giffin
Being Sad quotes by Emily Giffin
You know what Marshall needs to do. He needs to stop being sad. When I get sad, I stop being sad, and be awesome instead. True story. ~ Barney Stinson
Being Sad quotes by Barney Stinson
[ ... ] we can't make a decision between being sad for a little while and being wretched for the rest of our lives. Or rather we've made the decision and have trouble finding the courage to carry it through. ~ Junichiro Tanizaki
Being Sad quotes by Junichiro Tanizaki
It's time to just be happy.
Being sad, angry, and overthinking isn't worth it anymore.
Just let things flow.
Be positive. ~ Idillionaire
Being Sad quotes by Idillionaire
It is quite gratifying to feel guilty if you haven't done anything wrong: how noble! Whereas it is rather hard and certainly depressing to admit guilt and to repent. ~ Hannah Arendt
Being Sad quotes by Hannah Arendt
She said she usually cried at least once each day not because she was sad, but because the world was so beautiful & life was so short. ~ Brian Andreas
Being Sad quotes by Brian Andreas
For a moment, I thought of the word happy and it was a word that just, well, it felt like it was visiting me. I knew it wouldn't last for very long and I'd be sad again and then it would be worse because it's one thing to be sad and it's another thing to be sad once you've been happy. Being sad after you've been happy is the worst thing in the world. ~ Benjamin Alire Saenz
Being Sad quotes by Benjamin Alire Saenz
I was such a quiet kid, so shy and calm and in my own head. Of course I knew about being sad. Maybe that's the reason I saved all the things I thought were pretty. ~ Nina LaCour
Being Sad quotes by Nina LaCour
The most difficult thing in this world is to adopt the spirit and attitude of a warrior. It is no use being sad, complaining, feeling unjustly treated, and believing someone is doing something negative. No one is doing anything, and certainly not to a warrior. ~ Paulo Coelho
Being Sad quotes by Paulo Coelho
You showed me that when something is really shit, it's ok to be sad. It's not a disease you have to cure. You can just... be sad. ~ Eva Woods
Being Sad quotes by Eva Woods
Last year I admired wines.
This year I am wandering inside the red world.
Last year I gazed at the fire.
This year I am burnt kabob.

Thirst drove me down to the water,
where I drank the moon's reflection.
Now I am a lion staring up
totally lost in love with the thing itself.

Do not ask questions about longing.
Look in my face.

Soul-drunk, body-ruined, these two
sit helpless in a wrecked wagon.
Neither knows how to fix it.
And my heart, I would say it is more
like a donkey sunk in a mudhole,
strugglings and miring deeper.

But listen to me. For one moment
quit being sad. Hear blessings
dropping their blossoms
around you. God. ~ Rumi
Being Sad quotes by Rumi
Tory a father isn't supposed to fear his fourteen-year-old daughter. That being sad, you terrify me. ~ Kathy Reichs
Being Sad quotes by Kathy Reichs
Being is the great explainer. ~ Henry David Thoreau
Being Sad quotes by Henry David Thoreau
turned out that the only difference between children and adults was that children were prepared to put twice the energy into the project of not being sad. ~ Chris Cleave
Being Sad quotes by Chris Cleave
Impossibility

Do you know the feeling when you're so happy that you can't imagine ever being sad again? Or when you're so sad that you no longer believe you could ever be happy? When you tell me you love me, I always think of that strange emotion - that feeling of impossibility. You say you love me, and you can't imagine a future without me in it, yet all I can think of is how you must have felt the same way once about someone else. ~ Lang Leav
Being Sad quotes by Lang Leav
I wondered if I was more addicted to being sad than I was to bourbon or cocaine. ~ Christopher Rice
Being Sad quotes by Christopher Rice
Throughout the ordeal, I learned that getting mad was easier than being sad. Anger was something I could control. I could settle into an easy rhythm of blame and hate. Focus my energy on something than the ache in my heart. ~ Emily Giffin
Being Sad quotes by Emily Giffin
I started balding at age 17 and after first being sad, I really embraced it. ~ Jason Alexander
Being Sad quotes by Jason Alexander
But you can't find love if you're not willing to lose it. You can't find happiness if you're not willing to risk being sad. And you can't find the love of your life without risking breaking your heart. ~ Kunal Nayyar
Being Sad quotes by Kunal Nayyar
It's not that you like being sad, but you start to see the value of it. You don't judge sadness so harshly. ~ Lori Lansens
Being Sad quotes by Lori Lansens
Brod discovered 613 sadnesses, each perfectly unique, each a singular emotion, no more similar to any other sadness than to anger, ecstasy, guilt, or frustration. Mirror Sadness. Sadness of Domesticated Birds. Sadness of Being Sad in front of One's Parent. Humor Sadness. Sadness of Love Without Release. ~ Jonathan Safran Foer
Being Sad quotes by Jonathan Safran Foer
A photograph doesn't gain weight or lose weight, or change from being happy to being sad. It's frozen. You can use it, then recycle it. ~ Chuck Close
Being Sad quotes by Chuck Close
If you're immortal, you can imagine being sad or grieving if a lover leaves you. But if everyone were immortal, then that leaving isn't necessarily forever. There's always a chance that you get them back somewhere down the road - you know, in 5, 10, 20,000 years. So I think that the urgency of the moment gets sapped. ~ Todd May
Being Sad quotes by Todd May
Melancholy is the pleasure of being sad. ~ Victor Hugo
Being Sad quotes by Victor Hugo
Love is . . . Being happy for the other person when they are happy, Being sad for the person when they are sad, Being together in good times, And being together in bad times.
LOVE IS THE SOURCE OF STRENGTH.

Love is . . . Being honest with yourself at all times, Being honest with the other person at all times, Telling, listening, respecting the truth, And never pretending.
LOVE IS THE SOURCE OF REALITY.

Love is . . . An understanding so complete that you feel as if you are a part of the other person, Accepting the other person just the way they are, And not trying to change them to be something else.
LOVE IS THE SOURCE OF UNITY.

Love is . . . The freedom to pursue your own desires while sharing your experiences with the other person, The growth of one individual alongside of and together with the growth of another individual.
LOVE IS THE SOURCE OF SUCCESS.

Love is . . . The excitement of planning things together, The excitement of doing things together.
LOVE IS THE SOURCE OF THE FUTURE.
Love is . . . The fury of the storm, The calm in the rainbow.
LOVE IS THE SOURCE OF PASSION.

Love is . . . Giving and taking in a daily situation, Being patient with each other's needs and desires.
LOVE IS THE SOURCE OF SHARING.

Love is . . . Knowing that the other person will always be with you regardless of what happens, Missing the other person when they are away but remaining near in h ~ Susan Polis Schutz
Being Sad quotes by Susan Polis Schutz
If, as a culture, we don't bear witness to grief, the burden of loss is placed entirely upon the bereaved, while the rest of us avert our eyes and wait for those in mourning to stop being sad, to let go, to move on, to cheer up. And if they don't - if they have loved too deeply, if they do wake each morning thinking, I cannot continue to live - well, then we pathologize their pain; we call their suffering a disease.
We do not help them: we tell them that they need to get help. ~ Cheryl Strayed
Being Sad quotes by Cheryl Strayed
Unfortunately, I think I'm going to be typecast in Hollywood as the kid who can cry. I don't like putting audiences through those emotional ups and downs. I don't want people to think Dana Hill is so depressing all she does is cry. But the parts are so good, I can't turn them down. ~ Dana Hill
Being Sad quotes by Dana Hill
The only thing worse than being sad is for others to know you are sad. ~ Jonathan Safran Foer
Being Sad quotes by Jonathan Safran Foer
Don't waste this life being sad, angry or depressed as you just don't have as much time as you think you do. ~ Jellis Vaes
Being Sad quotes by Jellis Vaes
I took comfort in doing without because I knew it was all for the greater good. We all made great sacrifices, none more so than those boys who lost their lives. Tragedy was part of our daily routine. But through it all, I never understood the point of being sad when I could choose to be happy. ~ Megan McCafferty
Being Sad quotes by Megan McCafferty
Being sad is my happiness. ~ Khem Veasna
Being Sad quotes by Khem Veasna
I have always been a softie, and I fight it with every fiber of my being.
Sadly, my being's fibers need to hit the gym. ~ Aisha Tyler
Being Sad quotes by Aisha Tyler
Some people think mental illness is a matter of mood, a matter of personality. They think depression is simply a form of being sad, that OCD is a form of being uptight. They think the soul is sick, not the body. It is, they believe, something that you have some choice over. I know how wrong this is. ~ David Levithan
Being Sad quotes by David Levithan
Dear God,
Please relieve me of this battle that plays out in my mind. Each day a new scenario of fights, either with myself or people I'm scared will betray me. I know, life isn't always easy, but every day I fight this battle within myself, and remain unhappy. I'm tired of being sad dear God, and tired of being unhappy because, I can't get past my inner thoughts. Please show me the way dear God. Please clear my mind and allow me to carry true happiness, in Jesus name. Amen. ~ Ron Baratono
Being Sad quotes by Ron Baratono
The world isn't perfect, and some days it wears you down. You can either accept that, and face it, and be a help to others instead of a hindrance. Or you can decide the rules are too tough and they shouldn't apply to you, and you can ignore them and make things harder for everybody else. Sometimes life is about being sad and doing things anyway. Sometimes it's about being hurt and doing things anyway. The point isn't perfection. The point is doing it anyway. ~ Chloe Neill
Being Sad quotes by Chloe Neill
The best thing for being sad ... is to learn something. ~ T.H. White
Being Sad quotes by T.H. White
You're the prettiest when you're happy. Don't use all your energy being sad. ~ Burnell Taylor
Being Sad quotes by Burnell Taylor
Some people think that mental illness is a matter of mood, a matter of personality. They think depression is simply a form of being sad, that OCD is a form of being uptight. They think the soul is sick, not the body. It is, they believe, something you have choice over. ~ David Levithan
Being Sad quotes by David Levithan
He awoke each morning with the desire to do right, to be a good and meaningful person, to be, as simple as it sounded and as impossible as it actually was, happy. And during the course of each day his heart would descend from his chest into his stomach. By early afternoon he was overcome by the feeling that nothing was right...By evening he was fulfilled: alone in the magnitude of his grief, alone in his aimless guilt, alone even in his loneliness. I am not sad, he would repeat to himself over and over, I am not sad. As if he might one day convince himself. Or fool himself. Or convince others--the only thing worse than being sad is for others to know that you are sad. I am not sad. I am not sad. ~ Jonathan Safran Foer
Being Sad quotes by Jonathan Safran Foer
I could see no reason for being sad. It´s just that it makes me unhappy not to feel happy. ~ Simone De Beauvoir
Being Sad quotes by Simone De Beauvoir
Melancholy is the happiness of being sad. ~ Victor Hugo
Being Sad quotes by Victor Hugo
It is ridiculous that I have so many shoes I don't wear. I worry that they're sitting there, being sad. ~ Graham Coxon
Being Sad quotes by Graham Coxon
It's, like, you know, if you're sad, it's a way of connecting with other people. And we - a lot of times we sort of feel embarrassed by being sad, and we go off by ourselves to hide and cry by ourselves. But, really, it's a way of re-establishing relationship. ~ Pete Docter
Being Sad quotes by Pete Docter
We all want to do something to mitigate the pain of loss or to turn grief into something positive, to find a silver lining in the clouds. But I believe there is real value in just standing there, being still, being sad. ~ John Green
Being Sad quotes by John Green
Those who misrepresent the normal experiences of life, who decry being controversial, who shun risk, are the enemies of the American way of life, whatever the piety of their vocal professions and the patriotic flavor of their platitudes. ~ Henry Wriston
Being Sad quotes by Henry Wriston
People are a lot more attractive when they are not trying to impress you. Let go of the bullshit & start being you! ~ Nitya Prakash
Being Sad quotes by Nitya Prakash
It's a sad thing about politics that most people get power too late, in that they differ from ladies of easy virtue who get their pleasures too early. ~ Malcolm Muggeridge
Being Sad quotes by Malcolm Muggeridge
I always say that everyone has to start by being true to themselves. ~ Lori Goldstein
Being Sad quotes by Lori Goldstein
The fact that you are even here, alive, on this planet is a mathematical miracle, and you should not spend the time that you have being busy being miserable. ~ Philip DeFranco
Being Sad quotes by Philip DeFranco
From an early age I set myself above the monstrous fantasies of religion, being perfectly convinced that the existence of the creator is a revolting absurdity in which not even children believe any more; there is no need for me to restrain my tastes in order to please Him, it is from Nature that I received these tastes, and I should offend her by resisting them – if they are wicked, it is because they serve her purposes. In her hands I am nothing but a machine for her to operate as she wishes, and there is not a single one of my crimes that fails to serve her; the greater her need, the more she spurs me on – I should be a fool to resist her. Only the law stands in my way, but I defy it – my gold and my influence place me beyond the reach of those crude scales meant only for the common people. ~ Marquis De Sade
Being Sad quotes by Marquis De Sade
Self-love is about respecting and appreciating every single part of who you are, and being proud to be you. ~ Miya Yamanouchi
Being Sad quotes by Miya Yamanouchi
If Shakespeare be considered as a MAN born in a rude age and educated in the lowest manner, without any instruction either from the world or from books, he may be regarded as a prodigy; if represented as a POET capable of furnishing a proper entertainment to a refined or intelligent audience, we must abate much of this eulogy. In his compositions, we regret that many irregularities, and even absurdities, should so frequently disfigure the animated and passionated scenes intermixed with them; and, at the same time, we perhaps admire the more those beauties on account of their being surrounded by such deformities. A striking peculiarity of sentiment, adapted to a single character, he frequently hits, as it were, by inspiration; but a reasonable propriety of thought he cannot for any time uphold. Nervous and picturesque expressions as well as descriptions abound in him; but it is in vain we look either for purity or simplicity of diction. His total ignorance of all theatrical art and conduct, however material a defect, yet, as it affects the spectator rather than the reader, we can more easily excuse than that want of taste which often prevails in his productions, and which gives way only by intervals to the irradiations of genius. [....] And there may even remain a suspicion that we overrate, if possible, the greatness of his genius; in the same manner as bodies often appear more gigantic on account of their being disproportioned and misshapen. ~ David Hume
Being Sad quotes by David Hume
Being poor is a state of mind, not a condition. ~ Alphonso Jackson
Being Sad quotes by Alphonso Jackson
It is a glorious destiny to be a member of the human race, now I realize what we all are . If only they [people] could all see themselves as they really are I suppose the big problem would be that we would fall down and worship each other At the center of our being is a point of nothingness which is untouched by sin and by illusions, a point of pure truth This little point is the pure glory of God in us. It is in everybody. ~ Thomas Merton
Being Sad quotes by Thomas Merton
Oh, how an animal that is hurt looks up at you, John! An animal's actions can inform you if it is in pain. It don't hop and jump around as usual. No. You find a sad, crouching, cringing, small bunch of fur or hair, whining, and plainly asking you to aid it. It isn't hard to find out what is wrong, John; any man or woman who would pass by such a sight, just isn't worth knowing. I just can't withstand it! Why, I think that not only animals, but plants can know pain. I carry a drink to many a poor, thirsty growing thing; or, if it is torn up I put it kindly back, and fix its soil up as comfortably as I can. Anything that is living, John, is worthy of Man's aid. ~ Ernest Vincent Wright
Being Sad quotes by Ernest Vincent Wright
journalists fea their loss of authority in the digital age will undermine their ability to hold government to account. Yet the government has much more to worry about because the internet has empowered vested interests, and Oppositions, in a way that effectively cancel an election result within weeks of the final ballot being counted. p236 ~ George Megalogenis
Being Sad quotes by George Megalogenis
It has been lately urged in a very respectable quarter that it is the mission of this country to spread civil and religious liberty all over the globe, and especially over this continent - even by force, if necessary. It is a sad delusion. ~ John C. Calhoun
Being Sad quotes by John C. Calhoun
