It is a very sad thing that nowadays there is so little useless information.

Tears are the silent language of grief.

I hold the world but as the world, Gratiano; A stage where every man must play a part, And mine is a sad one.

Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. It is far better take things as they come along with patience and equanimity.

I wanted to write a book that talked about the emotions of children, which is the rainbow. We all have moods. We talk about being blue when we’re sad, and being yellow when we’re cowards, and when we’re mad, we’re red.

Every time I see documentaries or infomercials about little kids with cancer, I just freak out. It affects me on the highest emotional level… Anytime I think about it, it makes me sadder than anything I can think of.

When I first went to places where people were suffering from war and persecution, I felt ashamed of my feelings of sadness. I could see more possibilities in my life.

I believe that everyone experiences depression to some degree at some time in their lives. And there are probably millions of people who live with a low level of sadness and heaviness day in and day out.

In this sad world of ours, sorrow comes to all; and to the young, it comes with bitterest agony because it takes them unawares. I have had experience enough to know what I say.

The walls we build around us to keep sadness out also keeps out the joy.

I didn’t really want to live, so anything that was an investment in time made me angry… but also I just felt sad. When the hopelessness is hurting you, it’s the fixtures and fittings that finish you off.

When I was two, a dragonfly flew near me. A man knocked it to the ground and trod on it. I remember crying because I’d caused the dragonfly to be killed.

We live in a time-crunched world, and just about everything we do seems to be urgent.

We live in a day that nobody’s lived in before: where you can touch more people. The message I’ll speak tonight and the message that I speak at home, people in India will hear. It’s just an amazing day.

A sad soul can kill quicker than a germ.

Football is a sad game.

It is better, of course, to know useless things than to know nothing.

I’ve never thought about songwriting as a weapon. I’ve only thought about it as a way to help me get through love and loss and sadness and loneliness and growing up.

The human animal originally came from out-of-doors. When spring begins to move in his bones, he just must get out again. Moreover, as civilization, cement pavements, office buildings, radios have overwhelmed us, the need for regeneration has increased, and the impulses are even stronger.

Censorship is the tool of those who have the need to hide actualities from themselves and from others. Their fear is only their inability to face what is real, and I can’t vent any anger against them; I only feel this appalling sadness. Somewhere in their upbringing, they were shielded against the total facts of our existence.

Being flooded with information doesn’t mean we have the right information or that we’re in touch with the right people.

Nowadays, manners are easy and life is hard.

But with the steady disintegration of the family in modern society over the last century, the role of the school in bridging the gap has become vital!

There’s no tragedy in life like the death of a child. Things never get back to the way they were.

There’s nothing sadder in this world than to awake Christmas morning and not be a child.

Some people can just let things go, but I can’t, especially if there’s something that worries me or makes me sad.

PowerPoint makes us stupid.

Sadness is but a wall between two gardens.

I’ve often felt depressed; everyone feels depressed.

There is no sadder sight than a young pessimist.

We have too many cellphones. We’ve got too many internets. We have got to get rid of those machines. We have too many machines now.

If you are working 50 hours a week in a factory, you don’t have time to read 10 newspapers a day and go back to declassified government archives. But such people may have far-reaching insights into the way the world works.

In the world today, we humans have become more self-absorbed, more tribal and tenacious in holding on to our narrow agendas; we have become consumed by the barrage of information inundating us; we are even more fickle when it comes to leaders.

I just think cities are unnatural, basically. I know there are people who live happily in them, and I have cities that I love, too. But it’s a disaster that we have moved so far from nature.

Absolute silence leads to sadness. It is the image of death.

It makes me sad when I find sisters who aren’t joyful. They might smile, but with just a smile they could be flight attendants!

The South is very beautiful but its beauty makes one sad because the lives that people live here, and have lived here, are so ugly.

I would be lying if I didn’t admit sadness that our wonderful airline is merging with another. Because I’m not American, the U.S. Department of Transportation stipulated I take some of my shares in Virgin America as non-voting shares, reducing my influence over any takeover. So there was sadly nothing I could do to stop it.

I actually started off majoring in computer science, but I knew right away I wasn’t going to stay with it. It was because I had this one professor who was the loneliest, saddest man I’ve ever known. He was a programmer, and I knew that I didn’t want to do whatever he did. So after that, I switched to Communications.

Man alone is born crying, lives complaining, and dies disappointed.

If you have tears, prepare to shed them now.

The display of grief makes more demands than grief itself. How few men are sad in their own company.

The Internet has compromised the quality of debate.

When Clark Gable died, I cried for 2 days straight. I couldn’t eat or sleep.

The word ‚happy‘ would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.

When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy. When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.
