Sadness quotes

Sadness ... don’t hide it,

don’t burry it!

Sometimes without sadness, 

the happiness is incomplete.

If you never cry, 

then you’d never laugh out loud.

Life is just simple!

Just remind that sadness is part of life,

you must face it, but don't fall into deep.

"Tears are words that need to be written."

Paulo Coelho

"Was I bitter? Absolutely. Hurt? 

You bet your sweet ass I was hurt.

Who doesn't feel a part of their heart

break at rejection. 

You ask yourself every question

you can think of, 

what, why, how come,

and then your sadness turns to anger.

That's my favorite part.

It drives me, feeds me,

and makes one hell of a story."

Jennifer Salaiz

"When you've suffered a great deal in life,

each additional pain is both unbearable and trifling."

Yann Martel, Life of Pie

"Tears shed for another person

are not a sign of weakness.

They are a sign of a pure heart."

Jose N. Harris, Mi Vida

'I seldom think about my limitations,

and they never made me sad.

Perhaps there is just a touch of yearning at times;

but it is vague, like a breeze among flowers.'

Helen Keller

"You can't keep the birds of sadness

from flying over your head,

but you can keep them from nesting in your hair."

Sharon Creech, Walk Two Moons

"There is no beauty in sadness.

No honor in suffering.

No growth in fear.

No relief in hate.

It’s just a waste of perfectly good happiness."

Katerina Stoykova Klemer



'Sadness gives depth,

Happiness gives height.

Sadness gives roots,

Happiness gives branches.

Happiness is like a tree going into the sky,

and sadness is like the roots going down

into the womb of the earth.

Both are needed,

and the higher a tree goes,

the deeper it goes, simultaneously.

The bigger the tree,

the bigger will be its roots.

In fact, it is always in proportion.

That's its balance."

Osho

365 DailyMeditations for the Here and Now

Life is ironic,

It takes sadness to know what happiness is,

noise to appreciate silence

and absence to value presence.

"About time,

what I really learned from studying English is:

Time is different with timing.

I understand the difference of these two words so well.

I understand falling in love

with the right person in the wrong timing

could be the greatest sadness in a person's entire life."

Xiaolu Guo
A Concise Chinese, English Dictionary for Lovers

The saddest kind of sad is the sad

that tries not to be sad.

You know, when Sad tries to bite it's lip

and not cry and smile and go,

"No, I'm happy for you"?

That's when it's really sad."

John Mayer

Good humor is the health of the soul,
sadness is its poison.

Lord Chesterfield

"When I look back on all these worries,

I remember the story of the old man

who said on his deathbed 

that he had had a lot of trouble in his life,

most of which had never happened."

Winston Churchill

"Solitary trees,
if they grow at all,
grow strong."

Winston Churchill

We enjoy warmth

because we have been cold,

We appreciate light 

because we have been in darkness.

By the same token,

we can experience joy 

because we have known sadness.
