Quote

Sadness does not inhere in things; it does not reach us from the world and through mere contemplation of the world. It is a product of our own thought. We create it out of whole cloth.

Those who gave away their wings are sad not to see them fly.

Sadness was something I was thinking about in my life outside of writing, so it wormed itself into whatever I wrote.

With about a dozen assorted ongoing conflicts in the news every day, and with the stories becoming more horrific, the level of sadness becomes unbearable. And what becomes of our planet when that sadness becomes apathy? Because we feel helpless. And we turn our heads and turn the page.

We all have sadness in our life and things that we can draw upon.

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

Sad things happen. They do. But we don't need to live sad forever.

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

We all go through sad times, but I was brought up to be positive.

Even when there are times that we're not happy, happiness will creep in.
