| Dita Von Teese | Some days are just bad days, that's all. You have to experience sadness to know happiness, and I remind myself that not every day is going to be a good day, that's just the way it is! | 101 |
| Ernie Harwell | It's time to say goodbye, but I think goodbyes are sad and I'd much rather say hello. Hello to a new adventure. | 101 |

| Israel Broussard | Our generation, unfortunately, is stuck to our phones - and, like, Twitter - constantly, which I have no problem with. I'd say we're not describing the children of America or anything like that, but there is something to take from it: It is kind of sad how we can't go thirty minutes without checking our phone. | 101 |
| Kevin Bacon | I really believe that all of us have a lot of darkness in our souls. Anger, rage, fear, sadness. I don't think that's only reserved for people who have horrible upbringings. I think it really exists and is part of the human condition. I think in the course of your life you figure out ways to deal with that. | 101 |
| Kirsten Dunst | You can never control who you fall in love with, even when you're in the most sad, confused time of your life. You don't fall in love with people because they're fun. It just happens. | 101 |
| Morrie Schwartz | Dying is only one thing to be sad over... Living unhappily is something else. | 101 |
| Nate Ruess | As a songwriter I hate this whole, 'If it's a sad song, it has to sound like a sad song thing.' And that goes all the way back to my days with the Format. I'm an insane narcissist, so if I have to get something off my chest, I'll get something off my chest. | 101 |
| Paramahansa Yogananda | Let my soul smile through my heart and my heart smile through my eyes, that I may scatter rich smiles in sad hearts. | 101 |

| Robert Redford | Part of me is drawn to the nature of sadness because I think life is sad, and sadness is not something that should be avoided or denied. It's a fact of life, like contradictions are. | 101 |
| Simon Hoggart | It's sad that the BBC is toning down Dennis the Menace for a cartoon series. He is losing his weapons, catapult and peashooter, will no longer pick on Walter the Softy, and his ferocious grimace is to be replaced by a charming, boyish smile. | 101 |
| Taraji P. Henson | Every human walks around with a certain kind of sadness. They may not wear it on their sleeves, but it's there if you look deep. | 101 |
| Virginia Satir | Every word, facial expression, gesture, or action on the part of a parent gives the child some message about self-worth. It is sad that so many parents don't realize what messages they are sending. | 101 |
| Washington Irving | There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition, and of unspeakable love. | 101 |
| Bonnie Blair | It's sad to know I'm done. But looking back, I've got a lot of great memories. | 101 |

| Lynda Resnick | When you wake up each morning, you can choose to be happy or choose to be sad. Unless some terrible catastrophe has occurred the night before, it is pretty much up to you. Tomorrow morning, when the sun shines through your window, choose to make it a happy day. | 101 |
| Mac Miller | When you feel sad, it's okay. It's not the end of the world. Everyone has those days when you doubt yourself, and when you feel like everything you do sucks, but then there's those days when you feel like Superman. It's just the balance of the world. I just write to feel better. | 101 |
| Mitch Kapor | Lotus's efforts around the Mac were pathetically unsuccessful, which is sad. | 101 |
| Nana Mouskouri | I do believe that if you haven't learnt about sadness, you cannot appreciate happiness. | 101 |
| Pattie Boyd | I think men are mainly unfaithful because as they get older, they feel the urge to prove to themselves that they are still attractive. They need proof from outside the marriage. It's really sad. It's all about them. It's not about their wives at all. | 101 |
| Rene Russo | I have nothing against younger women and older men on screen. What is sad is that so many women over 40 who have so much to give aren't being considered to play opposite men their own age or younger. | 101 |
| Tim Schafer | People talk about games and loneliness - it's a lonely activity. I didn't understand that. 'Gears of War' was the first multiplayer game for me that I enjoyed. But I wasn't sad. I liked being alone. I liked playing games by myself. I had lots of companionship at the house. | 101 |
| William Peter Blatty | And the sad truth is that nobody wants me to write comedy. The Exorcist not only ended that career, it expunged all memory of its existence. | 101 |
| Andy Milonakis | I had sadness for breakfast. | 101 |
| Arthur Koestler | Nothing is more sad than the death of an illusion. | 101 |

| Donna Tartt | Everything takes me longer than I expect. It's the sad truth about life. | 101 |
| Dorothy Thompson | To have felt too much is to end in feeling nothing. | 101 |
| Karen Joy Fowler | If we see a sad rain, it doesn't mean the rain is sad, but it means we see it. That's an easily dismissible kind of projection. But what I'm struggling to say, is that we take that rain in through our own hearts and emotions and senses and skin, and all those filters have an impact. | 101 |
| Kendrick Meek | It is sad that the Republican leadership is not as interested as they say they are in protecting the institution of marriage as they are in waging a campaign to divide and distract the American people from the real issues that need to be addressed. | 101 |
| Ryan Eggold | I'm just a guy who wears TOMS. It's the sad truth. | 101 |
| Alyssa Milano | First, accept sadness. Realize that without losing, winning isn't so great. | 101 |
| Greg Bear | Why do we capital-N Nerds love Mars so much? Because it's beautiful, it's tough, it's buried in our mythic, childhood memories. It's covered with human triumphs but also with sad stories of failure. | 101 |
| Jane Campion | Women often postpone their lives, thinking that if they're not with a partner then it doesn't really count. They're still searching for their prince, in a way. And as much as we don't discuss that, because it's too embarrassing and too sad, I think it really does exist. | 101 |
| Josh Hopkins | I think that the Information Age is great, but there's a downside to it obviously as well, and it's that false information can be perpetuated so quickly. And it's sad that so many people will believe it. | 101 |
| Kim Deal | Bob summed it up best when he was on his knees at the end of the night saying, 'Don't trust in Guided By Voices.' You were there; was the show awful or something? I know it was sloppy, but they're not really that tight anyway, but was it embarrassing, was it sad? | 101 |
| Lauren Potter | I've had tons of bullies who would call me retarded, even on my Facebook page. It's sad and it really hurts. I want to tell people not to use the word. Don't say your friend's retarded when they do something foolish. If you have a disability, keep working hard. Whatever it takes, do it, and don't be mean to people. | 101 |
| Maurice Chevalier | A comfortable old age is the reward of a well-spent youth. Instead of its bringing sad and melancholy prospects of decay, it would give us hopes of eternal youth in a better world. | 101 |
| Melanie Lynskey | I like to play the grey areas in life - that's the most uncomfortable place to be. Nobody likes to be in that in-between state where there don't know what's going to happen. There's a lot of tension in that, and a lot of stuff to play with - where it's uncomfortable and awkward and sad and scary. | 101 |
| Paul Downs Colaizzo | There's so much to argue about. That was the goal with 'Really Really.' Somebody asked me once, 'How should I feel when I leave?' and I said, 'Hopefully, you're talkative.' I don't really care if you're happy or sad or loved it or hated it or hate me. The goal is that you have something to say, that you have a response. | 101 |
| Paul Mazursky | Even when I begin with a situation that's basically funny or sad, I like to keep poking around in it. I like to get into the middle of a relationship, to explore the subtle places. | 101 |
| Ted Kulongoski | It is a sad commentary that today we face a choice between having schools that are a monument to our past - or schools that will be the lifeblood of our future. But since that is our choice, let us resolve to choose wisely. | 101 |
| Georgina Reilly | I'm always sad when a gig ends. No matter how long the shoot, you become a family for the period of time you are together, and then you separate and rarely see each other for a long time after. | 101 |
| Tony Hancock | It's both funny and sad which seem to me to be the two basic ingredients of good comedy. | 101 |
| Jennifer Armintrout | The belief that a person can and should only feel grief over one sad event at a time is a truly disturbing estimate of our emotional capacity. | 101 |
| Aaron Huey | I'm not sure how to describe my style. A lot of my work is dark and looks a bit sad, which is strange because I'm such a smiley, over-the-top positive guy who wears gold shoes most days. | 101 |
| Adam Hicks | If someone is sad, they put on a song, or if someone wants to rock out, and they want to get into a good mood, they put on music. Just being able to be a part of something like that I feel like was my ultimate push to do music. | 101 |
| Brian Bonsall | I don't think I could compare myself to Macaulay Culkin, because we're pretty much two different kinds of actors. He's done a lot of comedy. He does mostly just comedy like 'Uncle Buck' and 'Home Alone' and 'Home Alone 2.' And I've done a lot of different stuff, like sad movies, like the movie about the kid with AIDS. | 101 |
| Maggie Cheung | I've played a ghost, cat, snake. I've been funny, sad. I've been filmed flying on screen. So why not spend time on something else? I don't need to accept everything I'm offered. | 101 |
| Andrew Gross | 'Eyes Wide Open' took shape from two real life events straight from my own past. One was the sad suicide of my young nephew, a troubled kid, who was found at the bottom of a landmark cliff in central California. The second was a chance encounter forty years ago with none other than, ahem, Charles Manson! | 101 |
| David Harris | It's a sad and stupid thing to have to proclaim yourself a revolutionary just to be a decent man. | 101 |
| Alex Garland | When I see 'Sunshine,' I see a film that part of me is kind of very proud of and another part of me is very sad about, so it's a really complicated film for me. And I've never been really able to resolve all that in myself. | 101 |
| Andrew Hudgins | My parents were mourning the death of my sister. She was killed in a car accident before I was born, and I didn't know she existed until I was 13 or 14 years old. I knew I was growing up in a house where people were angry and sad. | 101 |
| Jonathan Levine | For whatever reason, the films I gravitate towards do have these strange sort of tonal balances to them... I kind of realized on '50/ 50' why I liked these blending of tones, because I think it's kind of what life is like: funny one minute, sad the next, scary the next. | 101 |
| Judith Moore | Among the reasons people keep sad stories to themselves is that they do not want anyone to feel sorry for them. I don't. I don't want you to feel sorry for me. | 101 |
| Mario Teguh | Never make a decision when you are upset, sad, jealous or in love. | 101 |
| Jean Ingelow | When sparrows build and the leaves break forth, My old sorrow wakes and cries. | 101 |
| Mitch Miller | Keep it simple, keep it sexy, keep it sad. | 101 |
| F. Scott Fitzgerald | It is sadder to find the past again and find it inadequate to the present than it is to have it elude you and remain forever a harmonious conception of memory. | 102 |
| Amanda Seyfried | It's sad, actually, because my anxiety keeps me from enjoying things as much as I should at this age. | 102 |
| Ben Brantley | I have received hostile voice mail messages and e-mails. They are often anonymous, I'm sad to say, as anonymous messages are delivered only by very low forms of human life, in my opinion. | 102 |
| Christina Rossetti | Better by far you should forget and smile that you should remember and be sad. | 102 |
| Diane Hendricks | It's sad that we vote for and elect officials to run our state, run our country, over social issues. I don't believe they belong in politics. | 102 |
| Ellie Goulding | I'd like a male to listen to my music and find it kind of fascinating, what a girl goes through when they get heartbroken or get sad or get hurt by something. | 102 |
| Ellen G. White | I had often sought for the peace there is in Christ, but I could not seem to find the freedom I desired. A terrible sadness rested on my heart. I could not think of anything I had done to cause me to feel sad; but it seemed to me that I was not good enough to enter Heaven, that such a thing would be altogether too much for me to expect. | 102 |
| Fred Rogers | How sad it is that we give up on people who are just like us. | 102 |
| Kate Hudson | I talked to ex-wives of musicians of the '70s for research. They're the funniest people in the world, yet there is this sad, beautiful thing in their eyes that says they've seen more than they could ever possibly tell you. | 102 |
| Norman Wisdom | My comedy is for children from three to 93. You do need a slightly childish sense of humour and if you haven't got that, it's very sad. | 102 |
| Otto Frank | We all had lots of stories of our sad experiences - they mourned the death of my wife with me - but we were hopeful that the children would return. | 102 |
| Saadi | The rose and the thorn, and sorrow and gladness are linked together. | 102 |

| Steven Tyler | Every life has a measure of sorrow, and sometimes this is what awakens us. | 102 |
| Theodore Parker | It is very sad for a man to make himself servant to a single thing; his manhood all taken out of him by the hydraulic pressure of excessive business. | 102 |
| Yoko Ono | Experiencing sadness and anger can make you feel more creative, and by being creative, you can get beyond your pain or negativity. | 102 |
| Awkwafina | It's not nice to say it - I know female musicians, but not so many rappers. I can't think of one I idolize, which is sad, but I'm hoping that will change. | 102 |
| Bill Toomey | Actually, the moment of victory is wonderful, but also sad. It means that your trip is ended. | 102 |
| Brooke Elliott | I think a lot of times we're so told in our world that marriage is everything, and having a partner is everything. If you look at our movies and things, it's all directed around that love, and if you don't have that love, how sad you are. | 102 |
| Carroll O'Connor | I enjoyed in every way my 12 years of playing Archie, and I wasn't personally sad about finishing a long job. | 102 |
| Eugene O'Neill | One should either be sad or joyful. Contentment is a warm sty for eaters and sleepers. | 102 |
| Jon Favreau | I like happy endings in movies. I think life has a happy ending. When it's all said and done, it's all something worthwhile, and I want my movies to reflect that. There are enough things to be sad about. When you pop in a movie, let the message be one that's one of hope. | 102 |
| Kristin Davis | It's nice to be with someone, but I don't think you need to be in a relationship to feel complete. That would be really sad. | 102 |

| Maisie Williams | People just get kicks out of making other people sad. | 102 |
| Natasha Leggero | Guys should not be allowed to use the Internet all day long. So sad. | 102 |
| Sally Field | I've never had my heart broken. It's a very sad state of affairs. I think everybody should have their heart broken. I don't think it says anything good about me at all. | 102 |
| Tove Jansson | When one's dead, one's dead... This squirrel will become earth all in his time. And still later on, there'll grow new trees from him, with new squirrels skipping about in them. Do you think that's so very sad? | 102 |
| Beth Henley | Some really good things kind of swing both ways and I like to see people that can swing really, really, really sad and horrible and terrible and really, really, really beautiful and funny. | 102 |
| Bill Blass | Red is the ultimate cure for sadness. | 102 |
| Francoise Hardy | When I write, it is always the melody that comes first, and it just happens to be the case that the most beautiful tunes are sad, and the lyrics follow the mood of the melody. | 102 |
| Heather Donahue | In LA, I mean, here's this place full of desperate and sad people who take their only pleasure from destroying others for the purposes of their own self-aggrandizement. | 102 |
| Luise Rainer | I have never had a current state of mind. My mind changes a great deal. I am very affected by any sorrow or sad thing, and I am very affected by joy and beauty. | 102 |
| Martin McDonagh | All my work shares a kind of balance between black comedy and sad and despairing melancholy. | 102 |
| Natasha Tsakos | I know theater can improve the quality of people's lives, and I know theater can heal. I've worked as a doctor clown in a hospital for two years. I have seen sick kids and sad parents and doctors be lifted and transported in moments of pure joy. I know theater unites us. | 102 |
| Nate Corddry | Coffee shops are everywhere, especially in Los Angeles, chock full of sad sacks desperate to make sure their screenplays make it into the right hands... or any hands, for that matter. The one thing that makes a coffee shop truly great, though, is charm. | 102 |
| Nick Hornby | Everything's complicated, even those things that seem flat in their bleakness or sadness. | 102 |
| Patricia McBride | I want to be happy, to look back and feel I danced well at the end of my career and didn't dwindle off. It would be too sad. | 102 |
| Alice Morse Earle | There is something inexpressibly sad in the thought of the children who crossed the ocean with the Pilgrims and the fathers of Jamestown, New Amsterdam, and Boston, and the infancy of those born in the first years of colonial life in this strange new world. | 102 |
| Clark Gregg | I was really sad after 'The Avengers' when I realized I was not going to have a part in 'Thor 2' or 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier.' But I'm not arguing with my fantastic plane and my really cool car. | 102 |
| Margaret O'Brien | All you'd have to do is get a sad look, and he'd try to do something for you. | 102 |
| Pete Best | Many things have been said about what happened, but I don't know either. Maybe someday. One thing I'm sure of is that all the things that have happened to me, good and bad, happy and sad, have made me what I am today. | 102 |
| Ralph Steadman | It makes me so desperately sad to witness just how unforgivably wretched our world has become. | 102 |
| Tiffeny Milbrett | I think it's sad to me that I had to make a decision to not play the game that I feel like I'm best at and that I love. But if it was just about the game itself, I'd be there in a heartbeat. But that's not how the real world works. | 102 |
| Tuppence Middleton | I'd love to have a room full of taxidermy. I'd be devastated if my cat, Archimedes, ever died. I was debating the other day with a friend whether I should stuff him, but don't know whether he would end up looking like himself. I'd be really sad if he looked strange. | 102 |
| Clyde Edgerton | Being a father can 'unreason' your worldview, or at least make it very flexible, and that can create all sorts of fun and insights. It's sad that children's open-eyed wonder and sense of play begin to fade as they approach adolescence. One grand function of fathering is to keep the fading to a minimum. | 102 |
| Erinn Hayes | I was so sad that 'Best Friends Forever' got cancelled. I thought it was a great show and NBC didn't give it a chance. I'm a big fan of the NBC comedies. | 102 |
| Jacques Villeneuve | It's sad that you don't see drivers being real people. | 102 |
| Tony Hancock | We try to... we are, I suppose to a certain extent all affected and erm, that is both funny and sad I think. | 102 |
| Charles Mackay | There is no such thing as death. In nature nothing dies. From each sad remnant of decay, some forms of life arise so shall his life be taken away before he knoweth that he hath it. | 102 |
| Jeff Ament | I love sad. Sadness makes you feel more than anything. | 102 |
| Madeleine Peyroux | You have to let it all hang out, let go of the ideas that were more comfortable and embrace some of the sadness in your life. | 102 |
| Slim Jimmy | You can have nothing and be sad, or you can have nothing and be, like, positive and look at it in a good way and try to make your circumstance better. | 102 |
| Sylvia Day | The world would be a very sad place if readers could only love one story. | 102 |
| Tom Atkins | You know, they just don't make big movie stars the way they used to, maybe because the system has changed, the studio system, but it's sad to see people like Jimmy Stewart go, all the giants of the past. | 102 |
| Amanda Plummer | I like devilish, thorny, dirty, mean roles, muck and mire, unbelievably sad, unbelievably happy, burdened. Inner conflict - that's where drama is. | 102 |
| John Gutfreund | I don't have many regrets. I regret mistakes, particularly those that damage other people, and we've all made some of those. But I'm not sad about change. | 102 |
| Richard Harmon | Whenever I'm sad, I just put on 'SpongeBob' and I cheer up. | 102 |
| Robbie Jones | 'Lost' was my favorite show! I'm really sad that it's gone. | 102 |
| Anna Mouglalis | I love dancing to the radio every morning, to start the day with such passion. Otherwise, life is too sad. My little daughter and I like dancing to classical music: Bach and Schubert. | 102 |
| Jenna Dewan | Music videos are notoriously long, not fun, grueling. You are known there as a dancer and it's kind of sad because dancers, in a lot of ways, are under-appreciated and kind of under-respected when it come to that so they don't necessarily treat you in a nice way when you do a music video. | 102 |
| Mary Grandpre | I will be sad. I've gotten very attached to Harry and all that goes on in his world, I guess I'll just be kind of tasting every bit of it because it will be the last one. | 102 |
| John King | Sometimes you feel sad to be left out of a big debate. | 102 |
| June Diane Raphael | I took a couple of classes in clowning, but that was more like Lucille Ball kind of slapstick, not Ringling Brothers. But we had to do things silently, and the teacher would do this running commentary. 'Does this make Clown sad? Oh, Clown doesn't like that, does Clown?' Always 'Clown.' Never a name. | 102 |
| James R. Leininger | It's a sad commentary on where politics is today. If someone disagrees with you, you're either Attila the Hun or a leftist liberal. | 102 |
| Evel Knievel | If you don't know about pain and trouble, you're in sad shape. They make you appreciate life. | 103 |
| Franz Schubert | Nobody understands another's sorrow, and nobody another's joy. | 103 |
| Gerald Scarfe | So war is an extremely sad business, because the majority of people don't want to be in it. | 103 |
| Ivo Andric | Sadness is also a kind of defence. | 103 |
| Jonathan Ive | It is sad that so many designers don't know how to make. CAD software can make a bad design look palatable! It is sad that four years can be spent on a 3D design course without making anything! People who are great at designing and making have a great advantage. | 103 |
| Natalie Imbruglia | I like singer-songwriters, and I find sad songs comforting rather than depressing. It makes you realise you're not alone in the world. | 103 |
| Rollo May | Depression is the inability to construct a future. | 103 |
| Slavoj Zizek | What if the Soviet intervention was a blessing in disguise? It saved the myth that if the Soviets were not to intervene, there would have been some flowering authentic democratic socialism and so on. I'm a little bit more of a pessimist there. I think that the Soviets - it's a very sad lesson - by their intervention, saved the myth. | 103 |
| Vince Clarke | With a track like 'White Christmas,' everybody has done that song in every format you can imagine, so I just looked at the chords at that particular song and what chords would make it work. That's kind of quite a sad song, and I had this idea of someone singing it in the subway, someone who is homeless, old and sad. | 103 |
| Alfred Austin | Tears are the summer showers to the soul. | 103 |
| Andy Kaufman | My mother sent me to psychiatrists since the age of four because she didn't think little boys should be sad. When my brother was born, I stared out the window for days. Can you imagine that? | 103 |
| Barry Hannah | I found out about reviews early on. They're mostly written by sad men on bad afternoons. That's probably why I'm less angry than some writers, who are so narcissistic they consider every line of every review, even a thoughtful one, as major treason. | 103 |
| David Schwimmer | I find America falling in love with a TV show flattering and interesting, but at the same time a little sad. | 103 |
| Elizabeth Blackwell | I must have something to engross my thoughts, some object in life which will fill this vacuum, and prevent this sad wearing away of the heart. | 103 |
| Fran Tarkenton | The pro athlete is a sad tale. He signs a big contract and thinks he's set for life. I didn't think I was set for life, and I don't now. As athletes, we are important, celebrities, in demand and rich. Then we are out of the game and we are not important, not celebrities, not in demand and not rich. | 103 |
| Francois Fenelon | Do not make best friends with a melancholy sad soul. They always are heavily loaded, and you must bear half. | 103 |

| Geoffrey Rush | You had to be into sport and, sad to say, I'm a traitor to my country because I don't have a sporting bone in my body. | 103 |
| George Jones | Roy Acuff was a big hero for me, and I was so sad when he passed. It's hard as you get older to lose your friends and family. | 103 |
| Gloria Estefan | The sad truth is that opportunity doesn't knock twice. | 103 |
| Mikhail Kalashnikov | I'm proud of my invention, but I'm sad that it is used by terrorists. | 103 |
| William Gilmore Simms | Tears are the natural penalties of pleasure. It is a law that we should pay for all that we enjoy. | 103 |
| Dylan Penn | It's sad that because I have one friend who is in the public eye, just being seen out together once means we're romantically involved. But I don't take it seriously, and it doesn't really affect me much. | 103 |
| Harry Dean Stanton | You want people to feel something when you tell a story, whether they feel happy or whether they feel sad. | 103 |
| Heather Donahue | A lot of our entertainment throws into detail the stagnation and illness of how we live today-it's sad and it's sick... and it's profitable. | 103 |
| Hugh Miller | Save for thee and thy lessons, man in society would everywhere sink into a sad compound of the fiend and the wild beast; and this fallen world would be as certainly a moral as a natural wilderness. | 103 |
| Kathy Najimy | It's a sad day when a cartoon is doing more and cares more and pays more attention to the environment than our president. | 103 |
| Mike Mills | Sadness is a super important thing not to be ashamed about but to include in our lives. One of the bigger problems with sadness or depression is there's so much shame around it. If you have it you're a failure. You are felt as being very unattractive. | 103 |
| Pierre Loti | I am sure that the sad days and happenings were rare, and that I lived the joyous and careless life of other children; but just because the happy days were so habitual to me they made no impression upon my mind, and I can no longer recall them. | 103 |
| Pras Michel | When I was leaving I kind of felt a little bit sad, because I made some friends down in skid row. | 103 |
| Roy Haynes | I like to express certain things that happen in my life, the joy of spring, the birds singing and young babies coming into the world. You know, the whole thing as well as the part I'm not happy with, the sad part. | 103 |
| William Proxmire | The last few years have been my happiest. I'm happy in the years that most people are blue and sad and waiting to die. I don't feel that a bit. Smiling has a lot to do with it. You can just lift your spirits by smiling a little bit. | 103 |
| Alice Morse Earle | The study of tavern history often brings to light much evidence of sad domestic changes. Many a cherished and beautiful home, rich in annals of family prosperity and private hospitality, ended its days as a tavern. | 103 |
| Anne Robinson | Sad old blokes, I'm told, now dream of me with a whip in hand. | 103 |
| Chris Abani | If I don't get at least one e-mail every ten minutes, I feel unloved. Even junk mail makes me feel seen. Sad, I know. Sigh. | 103 |
| Grace Park | It is very sad about Michael Jackson, much as in the tragic cases of Heath Ledger, Anna Nicole and other celebrities who have died are a result of drugs. It is always sad when such a bright light goes out. | 103 |
| Lauren Holly | It always made me sad that there were kids who didn't have homes. | 103 |
| Major Owens | It's a sad day when the leaders of the free world engage in such deception and trickery. I voted against this unnecessary war and will continue to argue that the best way to support our troops is to bring them home. | 103 |
| Maximilian Schell | Well, I did Marlene 15 years ago and that's in the style. It's somehow similar and not similar because Marlene was much more aggressive, funny and sad. | 103 |
| Patricia Kaas | I am not sad, but I am melancholic. When you lose your mother at 20 and then your father soon after, melancholia is part of your life. | 103 |
| Ashley Monroe | When my dad passed, there's a lot of sadness right below the surface, and I think there will be until the day I die. So, writing sad songs helps it. And when I sing them, it's pure therapy for me. | 103 |
| Booboo Stewart | 'A Bug's Life' is a really funny movie and the characters have such different personalities. The movie is happy and then gets really sad and I'm like, W'hoa, I'm feeling this way and this movie is about bugs!' | 103 |
| Christopher Durang | Since it's based on my parents, it's more emotionally close to me than some of my more surreal plays. And then I like the balance of the comic and the sad. It should play as funny, but you should care about the characters and feel sad for them. | 103 |
| Danger Mouse | I often have an argument with people. I say name me a classic song that's not sad in some kind of way. And even if you can, you'll have to search pretty far. | 103 |
| David Shuster | If Michael Steele doesn't make you sad, well, then there's radio host Rush Limbaugh, no longer content with wanting the President to fail, Rush is now calling out Mr. Obama as a girly man. | 103 |
| Stanley Clarke | Scientology is probably one of the most misunderstood things, and it's sad that it's so misunderstood. | 103 |
| Timothy Bottoms | We all remember where we were and we all remember what we were doing. I had a brother in New York, an uncle, lots of friends in New York. It made me angry, it made me sad; what could I do. | 103 |
| Colin Egglesfield | It's sad to see such institutions as 'All My Children' and some of the others, like 'Guiding Light,' which have been on the air for, like, 40 or 50 years. It's almost unfathomable to see that they actually aren't going to be on the air anymore. It's really sad. | 103 |
| Don Knotts | Mainly, I thought of Barney as a kid. You can always look into the faces of kids and see what they're thinking, if they're happy or sad. That's what I tried to do with Barney. | 103 |
| Deryck Whibley | The past 6 and a half years have been the most amazing years of my life. It's sad it has come to an end but Avril and I are still family and moving forward in the most positive way possible. | 103 |
| Mathieu Amalric | There is the melancholy of Europe. There is the romantic malaise. Feeling sad is almost a form of deepness. | 103 |
| Alexander Koch | I'm a bit of a romantic, to a fault. It's led me to some great things and also some sad things. It's made me a better person, to keep a good spirit about dating. | 103 |
| John Ashbery | The poem is sad because it wants to be yours, and cannot be. | 103 |
| Sophie Wu | When you are 15, everything is such high stakes, even tiny things. I think because of that, it is funny but sad at the same time. | 103 |
| Austin Nichols | It's really sad down there. Everyone's sitting around asking to help and BP won't let anybody do anything. People are coming down to help. People want to help. | 103 |
| Joan Allen | I was a very good girl for a long time, that's what really drew me to acting. The stage was the perfect place to be outrageous, to be sad, to be angry, to be all these different things. | 103 |
| Judith Rossner | It's astonishing what some women will put up with just to have a warm body. Some of the brightest women I know are just obsessed with that search. It's very sad. | 103 |
| Bob Marley | The good times of today, are the sad thoughts of tomorrow. | 104 |
| Deepak Chopra | Many scientists think that philosophy has no place, so for me it's a sad time because the role of reflection, contemplation, meditation, self inquiry, insight, intuition, imagination, creativity, free will, is in a way not given any importance, which is the domain of philosophers. | 104 |
| Michael Jackson | And I remember going to the record studio and there was a park across the street and I'd see all the children playing and I would cry because it would make me sad that I would have to work instead. | 104 |
| Andy Rooney | The closing of a door can bring blessed privacy and comfort - the opening, terror. Conversely, the closing of a door can be a sad and final thing - the opening a wonderfully joyous moment. | 104 |
| Christian Nestell Bovee | Tears are nature's lotion for the eyes. The eyes see better for being washed by them. | 104 |
| Eliot Spitzer | The attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon shook our nation to the core. Americans were deeply frightened, sad, and angry, and they rallied around a President who, at the time, showed impressive certitude and calm. | 104 |
| Ernestine Rose | I know that some endeavor to throw the mantle of romance over the subject and treat woman like some ideal existence, not liable to the ills of life. Let those deal in fancy who have nothing better to deal in; we have to do with sober, sad realities, with stubborn facts. | 104 |
| Ken Ham | What is sad to me is not what Bill Nye thinks about me. What I found really unfortunate is that after presenting my stand on God's Word, there were a number of Christians who were more complimentary of Bill Nye than of me because Bill Nye was defending evolution and billions of years. | 104 |
| Nathan Lane | I am not a sad clown. I am not a sad clown. | 104 |
| Oliver Platt | I love the script and I just thought it was a great role. Like I say, it's like this - the script is like this sad, funny, desperate love song to the lost American man. | 104 |
| Oscar Robertson | It's a sad commentary when I have to say that sometimes in our country we are real sensitive to race. | 104 |
| Sebastian Thrun | It's sad that we never get trained to leave assumptions behind. | 104 |
| Tyler, The Creator | I don't like people around me sad. I like making people happy. | 104 |
| Vikram Seth | Poetry, I think, intensifies the reader's experience. If it's a humorous facet of the story, poetry makes it more exuberant. If it's a sad facet, poetry can make it more poignant. | 104 |
| Brooke Shields | My father's death, my move, and my frightening and difficult delivery created a tremendous amount of stress, pain, and sadness for me. I was practically devastated beyond recovery. | 104 |
| Dianne Wiest | I had to choose, I'd be so sad. They are flip sides of the same coin. I love both comedy and drama. | 104 |
| Edmond de Goncourt | The reason for the sadness of this modern age and the men who live in it is that it looks for the truth in everything and finds it. | 104 |
| Eudora Welty | The excursion is the same when you go looking for your sorrow as when you go looking for your joy. | 104 |
| Evander Holyfield | Deep down, I reckon the sweetest moment will come when it's finally all over. When, at last, I know that I can stop fighting. Of course it'll also be a little sad. The sweetest moments, y'know, always come with just a little sadness. | 104 |
| Freddie Highmore | When you're happy you don't always have to be laughing, and when you're sad you don't have to be crying; sometimes it's the opposite. You laugh when you're the most upset. | 104 |
| Kelly McGillis | I think it's sad that movies and television have caused the theatre to fade as a popular art form. I hope to get young people into the theatre and expose them to Shakespeare. | 104 |
| Leighton Meester | I think you have to know how you feel when you're sad and it's healthy to mourn if a relationship ends. | 104 |
| Nina Arianda | Before I left for Germany, I had gotten accepted to the performing arts high school in New York, which was a big dream of mine. And having to leave that was very sad for me. | 104 |
| Nina Conti | It's sad, the lottery. Good projects get funded by it, but there's an air of desperation about it. | 104 |
| Rainn Wilson | I know what I look like - a weird, sad clown puppet. I'm fine with that. | 104 |
| Thom Browne | It's sad that the cell phone is replacing the watch as a time-telling device. I wear a vintage watch that's really skinny. | 104 |
| Walton Goggins | But probably my favorite music, believe it or not, is sad music. | 104 |
| Alison Goldfrapp | I think some women try to make you feel you're not all female because you haven't given birth. There are a lot of prejudices. Some women think women who have animals are deeply sad, because what they really want is a child. Mind you, there's probably an element of truth in that. | 104 |
| Colton Haynes | Anyone can go online and write anything they want about people they don't even know, and most of the time, that is fueled by hate. The sad part is that people actually believe what they read online. | 104 |
| Kara Lindsay | I did 'Lone Star Love' in 2007 with Randy Quaid, and that was supposed to come to Broadway at the Belasco and a marquee went up and everything... and it all fell apart, and that marquee came right down, and we got severance pay. And, it was very sad. | 104 |
| Mary Gordon | I think coldness is chic among writers, and particularly ironic coldness. What is absolutely not allowable is sadness. People will do anything rather than to acknowledge that they are sad. | 104 |
| Sara Gruen | Gorillas are in danger of being wiped out by the Ebola virus. I feel like we have limited time to get to know them and understand them and they're going to disappear - that's terrifically sad. Wouldn't it be great if we could stop that? | 104 |
| Stephen Graham Jones | Making people laugh is so much more difficult than making them sad. Too much fiction defaults to the somber, the tragic. This is because sad endings are easy in comparison - happy endings aren't at all simple to earn, especially when writing to an audience jaded by them. | 104 |
| Caitlin Rose | If I could be more vague I'd write more about people in my life, but I hate hurting feelings or making people feel uncomfortable. I've done that before. Unless they're sad songs. Those get finished fast, but the mean ones often end up at the back of the bottom drawer and it's probably for the best. | 104 |
| Josh Hopkins | I probably have the worst wardrobe. It's the most ill-fitting with the worst patterns and colors and the most nipple rubbage. There's bad chafing, and it's always tight in all the wrong places. What's sad is that I'm kinda getting used to it. | 104 |
| Roland Joffe | I'm not a very serious person. You know how they say that clowns are very funny in public and are really sad at home? I'm really kind of stupid at home and more serious in public. | 104 |
| Shana Alexander | The sad truth is that excellence makes people nervous. | 104 |
| Brad Delson | I just did an interview where I was asked whether I drink beer or whisky, and I was sad to reveal that I'm pounding spring water. | 104 |
| Darby Stanchfield | As a kid, we had one television channel and a sad little roller rink. And there was not much else to do. So I used my imagination all of the time growing up. That's the main way I played. When we moved and I went to high school, I did my first play, and I was completely addicted to theatre. It felt like home; it felt natural. | 104 |
| David Simon | One of the sad things about contemporary journalism is that it actually matters very little. The world now is almost inured to the power of journalism. The best journalism would manage to outrage people. And people are less and less inclined to outrage. | 104 |
| Doug Davidson | If you win all the time, you lose the drama in life. To make the happy moments happy, you need the sad moments too. | 104 |
| Sara Teasdale | Though I know he loves me, tonight my heart is sad; his kiss was not so wonderful as all the dreams I had. | 104 |
| Ben Crenshaw | I have felt terribly from the beginning when I saw the problems and recognized that they would be ongoing. We were hired to put back the contours of the greens as closely as possible to George Thomas's designs and were real proud of what we did. It's a sad situation now. | 104 |
| Buddy Guy | Once I was checking to hotel and a couple saw my ring with Blues on it. They said, 'You play blues. That music is so sad.' I gave them tickets to the show, and they came up afterwards and said, 'You didn't play one sad song.' | 104 |
| Malcolm Wilson | I like 'Bewitched' off the first album because it's one of the happiest songs I've ever written and, as any writer will tell you, happy songs are a million times more difficult to write than sad songs. | 104 |
| Jean Racine | A tragedy need not have blood and death; it's enough that it all be filled with that majestic sadness that is the pleasure of tragedy. | 104 |
| Matthias Schoenaerts | I hooked up with director Jacques Audiard for this film called 'Rust & Bone' with Marion Cotillard. I loved that experience so much I'm truly sad that it's over! | 104 |
| Julia Sweeney | Well, you can't be depressed and sad 24 hours a day. | 104 |
| Jennifer Sky | The '80s were fabulous. The '90s sucked, and the '70s were just a sad, sad time in human history. Go 1980s! There's something that's just so cute about that time. And not just yellow nail polish and 'I'm a loner.' | 104 |
| Joan Allen | Acting gave me the opportunity to do outrageous things. It allowed me to be sad, happy, angry and lustful, even if it was just vicariously. | 104 |
| Josh Thomas | If you live with someone that is depressed, the truth of it - it's not that dramatic, it's just a bit, kind of, 'Here we go, this is what we're doing today. This is sad. But we're gonna get through it.' | 104 |
| Aishwarya Rai Bachchan | Life will take its toll on all of us. We get injured, we get old. It's really sad to try to run away from these harsh realities of life. Looks are not everything. I am not going to look beautiful all the time. | 105 |
| Andrew Lloyd Webber | I think the thing's that perhaps sad really is that younger people haven't come in and I think it must have been absolutely fantastic to have worked in the 50's when you had all of the great Broadway composers and when West Side Story didn't win the Tony Award. | 105 |
| Ariel Sharon | The sad and horrible conclusion is that no one cared that Jews were being murdered... This is the Jewish lesson of the Holocaust and this is the lesson which Auschwitz taught us. | 105 |
| Emily Bronte | Proud people breed sad sorrows for themselves. | 105 |
| George III of the United Kingdom | Was there ever such stuff as great as part of Shakespeare? Only one must not say so! But what think you? - What? - Is there not sad stuff? What? - What? | 105 |
| Kim Collins | If the IAAF feel that is the right way to go for TV rights and everything, the rule will stay. As much as I want to be on the podium, tonight is a sad night for athletics. | 105 |
| Loretta Lynn | You get used to sadness, growing up in the mountains, I guess. | 105 |
| Miguel de Unamuno | It is sad not to love, but it is much sadder not to be able to love. | 105 |
| Mike Birbiglia | It sounds so nerdy and pathetic, but what I always do on Sunday afternoon is bring my inbox down to zero, which is so sad. But e-mail has become like homework for adults. I'll have 141 messages from people who will be offended if I don't write back. | 105 |
| Neale Donald Walsch | The sad part about our past is that religions, ironically enough, are responsible for creating the most destructive idea that has ever been visited upon the human race: the idea that there is such a thing as 'better.' | 105 |
| Rachel Nichols | It doesn't matter if you're sad or hung-over or lazy or tired - a workout will get your endorphins pumping, and you'll feel like a new person almost instantly. | 105 |
| Rosalynn Carter | If you look at suicides, most of them are connected to depression. And the mental health system just fails them. It's so sad. We know what to do. We just don't do it. | 105 |
| Yishan Wong | With Facebook, you're not really allowed to be unhappy. Think about it: There's only a like button. Yes, you can be angry, but it's only lighthearted rage. On Reddit, perhaps because you can be anonymous, people are willing to be openly sad or angry. They are more honest. | 105 |
| Zachary Levi | There are a lot of people who consider themselves 'spiritual,' but that can mean a lot of things to a lot of people. I don't really talk about it that often, because there's too much talk in the world. Especially with Christians, there's more proselytizing than there is actual living proof of it. That's kind of sad. | 105 |
| Chiara Ferragni | Of course, you decide which story you want to tell. For me, it's been very authentic, so sometimes I'm super happy, and I post four pictures one after the other; sometimes I'm busy, and I don't. Sometimes I'm sad, and I post a sad picture. | 105 |
| Emeli Sande | It would be sad if we lost our instinct and our courage to love and protect. | 105 |
| Eve Ensler | People are sad. People are broke. People are worried about money, people are worried that they're not enough and not amounting to anything and they don't feel good about themselves. People have rough times, and everybody's pretending it's not true, and we need to break that veneer. | 105 |
| Henry Chadwick | A Church which has lost its memory is in a sad state of senility. | 105 |
| J. Michael Straczynski | There's a rule of writing: if everything is funny, nothing is funny; if everything is sad, nothing is sad. You want that contrast. | 105 |
| Keri Russell | It's sad when girls think they don't have anything going on except being pretty. | 105 |
| Nick Rhodes | You listen to a piece of music and it will remind you of something - it might make you happy, it might make you sad, but it is very emotive. And I think that Duran Duran have always understood that. | 105 |
| Sophie Turner | You've got to be happy when you play a sad character; otherwise, you just get depressed. Make your real life as fun as possible. | 105 |
| Tariq Ramadan | If people who cherish freedom, who know the importance of mutual respect and are aware of the imperative necessity to establish a constructive and critical debate, if these people are not ready to speak out, to be more committed and visible, then we can expect sad, painful tomorrows. The choice is ours. | 105 |
| Bai Ling | I often feel like I have this spirit living inside of me, always dressing in like short mini skirts... but then I start to discover myself. So there are eight spirits, mischievous ones, sad ones, handsome ones, wise ones, and crazy ones. | 105 |
| Benmont Tench | I think I drift toward sad love songs. | 105 |
| Bob Livingston | I don't wanta do any Blues or any sad songs. | 105 |
| David Edwards | The delta blues is a low-down, dirty shame blues. It's a sad, big wide sound, something to make you think about people who are dead or the women who left you. | 105 |
| Erich Bergen | 'Dawn (Go Away)' is a sad lyric, but the melody is so happy and fun. | 105 |
| Seth Green | It's sad and upsetting when you see somebody crying hysterically, but at the same time it's real funny. | 105 |
| Cat Osterman | I've had moments where I realize my body isn't going to withstand many more seasons, but I am very satisfied with my career and I am trying not to look at retirement as a sad thing. | 105 |
| Columba Bush | My childhood, I would say, was a bit sad. Society resents that. | 105 |
| Anton Seidl | It always makes me sad when I think of how I saw Wagner wasting his vitality, not only by singing their parts to some of his artists, but acting out the smallest details, and of how few they were who were responsive to his wishes. | 105 |
| Manny Farber | 'Sunset Boulevard' - the story of Hollywood movies draped on a depressing sex affair - is an uncompromising study of American decadence displaying a sad, worn, methodical beauty few films have had since the late twenties. | 105 |
| Roger Rosenblatt | If the sad truth be known, writers, being the misfits we are, probably ought not to belong to families in the first place. We simply are too self-interested, though we may excuse the flaw by calling it 'focused.' | 105 |
| Sue Johanson | It's sad that the most glorious of sexual experiences can make us feel guilty, ashamed, embarrassed, and abnormal. | 105 |
| Jasmine Guy | I am very sad for men and women trapped in any relationship where there is cruelty, dominance, inequity. I long for the liberation of all people. | 105 |
| Margaret Keane | The old, sad art colors are gone. Now I paint bright colors. I paint paintings which are happy, where children are laughing and playing with animals. I paint paradise on Earth. I still paint sadness sometimes, but there is sadness in the world, too. | 105 |
| Mark Boal | Film-makers are always going to be interested in making movies that plug into society around them. That's what a vibrant, artistically alert community should be doing. After all, it would be sad if we only made films about alien robots. | 105 |
| Abraham A. Ribicoff | Nothing is as sad as seeing a person who used to have power have none. | 105 |
| Madeline Kahn | From inside where I live, I feel like I just perceive events in a certain rational way. I often find it sad or poignant, and it may not make me laugh a bit. But I don't mind inventing a portrait that allows others to laugh if that's what they want to do. | 105 |
| Jarrett J. Krosoczka | It is an awfully sad misconception that librarians simply check books in and out. The library is the heart of a school, and without a librarian, it is but an empty shell. | 105 |
| Jonathan Banks | I grew up in Chillum Heights in the Washington, D.C. area., and it was never a garden spot. When guys go, 'Hey, when I grew up, my neighborhood was tough, and it was this and that'... the reality is that it was just a terribly sad place. And thank God, I was able to escape it. | 105 |
| Jim Rohn | The walls we build around us to keep sadness out also keeps out the joy. | 106 |
| Daniel Day-Lewis | It's a source of great sadness to me that my father died without having seen me do anything worthwhile. He was constantly having to make excuses for me. | 106 |
| Franka Potente | I think when I'm in love, I really am very good with calling, little faxes, and visiting and I really put a lot of effort into it. I'm really not the one that's not available because of work and I'm very sad when I actually leave. | 106 |
| George Jean Nathan | Beauty makes idiots sad and wise men merry. | 106 |
| Helen Hunt Jackson | Words are less needful to sorrow than to joy. | 106 |
| Henry Louis Gates | The sad truth is that the civil rights movement cannot be reborn until we identify the causes of black suffering, some of them self-inflicted. Why can't black leaders organize rallies around responsible sexuality, birth within marriage, parents reading to their children and students staying in school and doing homework? | 106 |
| Jenkin Lloyd Jones | The story of the decadence of the cathedral as a moral power, a spiritual energizer in civilization, is the sad but inevitable story of dogmatism. It is the story of the struggle of free thought with bigotry, religion making common cause with the wrong side. | 106 |
| John Donne | As virtuous men pass mildly away, and whisper to their souls to go, whilst some of their sad friends do say, the breath goes now, and some say no. | 106 |
| John Greenleaf Whittier | For all sad words of tongue and pen, The saddest are these, 'It might have been'. | 106 |
| John Hughes | I so desperately hate to end these movies that the first thing I do when I'm done is write another one. Then I don't feel sad about having to leave and everybody going away. | 106 |
| Marlo Thomas | When I look back at those pictures of my mother performing - and listen to her recordings - it makes me sad to think that all of that joy she found in her work came to an end. I wish she hadn't had to make that sacrifice, even if it was for the benefit of my father and siblings and me. | 106 |
| Martin Seligman | One of the things psychologists used to say was that if you are depressed, anxious or angry, you couldn't be happy. Those were at opposite ends of a continuum. I believe that you can be suffering or have a mental illness and be happy - just not in the same moment that you're sad. | 106 |
| Paloma Faith | I agree with cosmetic surgery for medical reasons - my mother had breast cancer and I think it's very sad when somebody has no choice in what happens to their body. | 106 |
| Paul O'Grady | I think it's bad for fellas when they lose their mothers. Mine was such a character. Oh it was sad, really sad. And, with her gone, the family home was gone, so what was left of any roots I had were completely dug up. | 106 |
| Shawn Johnson | I was at the Olympic Games winning medals and I still doubted my image. I doubted what I looked like. That's sad. | 106 |
| Christo | We tell them that we believe it will be beautiful because that is our specialty, we only create joy and beauty. We have never done a sad work. Through the drawings, we hope a majority will be able to visualize it. | 106 |
| Cilla Black | It's hard to watch your life unfold, and sad. Life changes. | 106 |
| Dianne Wiest | I recently turned down a film that I didn't want my kids to see. Priorities shift. Sometimes I'm sad about that, but not enough to do anything about it. | 106 |
| George B. McClellan | When this sad war is over we will all return to our homes, and feel that we can ask no higher honor than the proud consciousness that we belonged to the Army of the Potomac. | 106 |
| Li Na | I felt sad because everyday I had to wake up early to practice before going to school. After school I had to go back to tennis again, and then after tennis I had homework. I didn't have time to play. | 106 |
| Meg White | It's pretty sad when you have to choose between the lesser of two evils. | 106 |
| Anupam Kher | I enjoy being recognized. I'll be very sad if people stop recognizing me. I'll be very sad if I'm not interviewed, because that's a very amazing process. | 106 |
| Azzedine Alaia | I think women should be seductive, not triste. There's enough sadness in life now without making women look sad, too. | 106 |
| Bobby Lee | I think people just think I am crazy because they see me doing stand-up, but I am generally not. I am very sad. I'm one of those guys that lights candles and listens to Rachmaninoff. | 106 |
| Bobby Moynihan | When I was at Upright Citizens Brigade, I would pretend to be a sad, drunk rapper. | 106 |
| Katherine Paterson | It is always sad to write about prejudice, but sometimes when we see it being played out in the lives of fictional characters, we can recognize it in our own lives. | 106 |
| Nicola Griffith | There are days when I should be writing, and I am so tired that I can't. And the fatigue also affects my emotions, making me not even care about writing. There are days when I wake up so angry I can barely speak, and also days when I am so sad. | 106 |
| Sarah MacLean | There is perhaps no more rewarding romance heroine than she who is not expected to find love. The archetype comes in many disguises - the wallflower, the spinster, the governess, the single mom - but always with one sad claim: Love is not in her cards. | 106 |
| Sydney Schanberg | What happened was very sad. Mr. Lacey told the staff that he was disappointed and appalled that the front of the book was all commentary and that he wanted hard news. | 106 |
| Belle Boyd | Fortune has played me a sad trick by letting me live on and on. | 106 |
| Letitia Elizabeth Landon | Delicious tears! The heart's own dew. | 106 |
| Mark Bittman | The sad thing is, when it comes to diet, is that even when well-intentioned Feds try to do right by us, they fail. Either they're outvoted by puppets of agribusiness, or they are puppets of agribusiness. | 106 |
| Robert Lopez | I like to think my sense of humor is sort of smart and dumb at the same time. I like to work on multiple levels - smart and dumb, funny and sad, profound and mundane, cynical and hopeful. | 106 |
| Stacie Orrico | You see so many artists who are so talented end up living sad, empty lives. This industry takes so much out of you that without the accountability and leaving God in the center, you can be left so empty and void. | 106 |
| Stephanie Beacham | One of the reasons I wanted to teach deaf children was because it made me very sad that they spoke so clumsily and that they moved with less grace that I knew was possible of deaf people. | 106 |

| Conor Oberst | I've cried, and you'd think I'd be better for it, but the sadness just sleeps, and it stays in my spine the rest of my life. | 107 |
| Philip Stanhope, 4th Earl of Chesterfield | Good humor is the health of the soul, sadness is its poison. | 107 |
| Shaquille O'Neal | The best quality about Kobe Bryant? You want me to be honest? I don't know. I'll tell you why. I open my arms to everybody. But he never stepped forward for the embrace. So I never really got to know him. I don't know anything about him, and it's kinda sad. | 107 |
| Andrew Ross Sorkin | Corporate tax reform is nice in theory but tough in practice. It most likely requires lower tax rates and the closing of loopholes, which many companies are sure to fight. And whatever new, lower tax rate is determined, there will probably be another country willing to lower its rate further, creating a sad race to zero. | 107 |
| Bob Woodward | Watergate provides a model case study of the interaction and powers of each of the branches of government. It also is a morality play with a sad and dramatic ending. | 107 |
| Cristela Alonzo | If I'm laughing, you know I'm either very happy or very sad. I cope with things with jokes. | 107 |
| George Jones | Country fans need to support country music by buying albums and concert tickets for traditional artists or the music will just fade away. And that would be really sad. | 107 |
| Jean Paul | What makes old age so sad is not that our joys but our hopes cease. | 107 |
| Katha Pollitt | I think the meaning of abortion is what the woman says it is: For a woman who wants a child but can't have this one, it can be sad; for a woman who doesn't want a baby, it can feel like a huge relief, like having your whole life given back to you. | 107 |
| Lynne Truss | My favorite thing in the world is a quiz show, 'University Challenge,' so you can see what kind of sad person I am. | 107 |
| Richard Thompson | It's fun to sing sad songs. And it's fun to listen to sad songs. Enjoyable. Satisfying. Something. | 107 |
| Soledad O'Brien | It is a sad day for our country when the moral foundation of our law and the acknowledgment of God has to be hidden from public view to appease a federal judge. | 107 |
| David Lagercrantz | I have the deepest respect for Eva Gabrielsson and all she has gone through, but I also know that I make maybe her sad, and I am sad about that, but I make so many other people happy. | 107 |
| Ernest Renan | Let us remember that sorrow alone is the creator of great things. | 107 |
| Gabriel Mann | Nolan has the strangest affect on people. You know, I think there's something very sad and little boy about him, but at the same time the way he goes about everything is so awkward and obnoxious. He can never say the right thing, you know? And I think if he just didn't try so hard and calmed down, people might actually like him a bit more! | 107 |
| Jake Roberts | It's the sad thing about entertainment, it's not always about who is the best. | 107 |
| Teddy Thompson | I love the sad songs with their maudlin, self-deprecating, almost funny lyrics. As an Englishman, they make a lot of sense. | 107 |
| Albert Finney | To be a character who feels a deep emotion, one must go into the memory's vault and mix in a sad memory from one's own life. | 107 |
| Anthony Doerr | I've been getting into Nick Drake lately, the folk singer. Sad, gorgeous stuff. | 107 |
| Marshall Herskovitz | For reasons we don't have to get into, climate change has become an incredibly polarized issue in the United States. I think that is sad. My own personal view is that we're in a planetary emergency such has not been seen in 600,000 years. | 107 |
| Mikko Hypponen | It's been a bit sad to see that out of Linux distributions, it was Android - the most successful mobile Linux distribution - that has really introduced the malware problem to the Linux world. | 107 |
| Sanjay Dutt | I don't know how the poor farmers deal with such situations in real life. It's really sad. | 107 |
| Sergio Aragones | The sad events that occur in my life are the sad events that happen to everybody, with losing friends and family, but that is a natural occurrence, as natural as being born. | 107 |
| Thomas Pogge | If I were surrounded by angels who were purely rational and had no inclinations at all, I couldn't do anything for them. I couldn't make them happy; I couldn't make them sad, I would be entirely useless as a moral agent. | 107 |
| Jessica Capshaw | The end of anything is not fun because there's a nostalgia to it and everything else. Even the end of a bad relationship can feel so, so, so sad. | 107 |
| Jill Abramson | Budget cuts are a sad reality in most newsrooms, and I am concerned that they reduce the collective muscle of journalists who are doing the expensive, and often dangerous, work of on-the-ground reporting. | 107 |
| Dolly Parton | 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. | 108 |
| Rumi | You left and I cried tears of blood. My sorrow grows. Its not just that You left. But when You left my eyes went with You. Now, how will I cry? | 108 |
| Antonio Porchia | Those who gave away their wings are sad not to see them fly. | 108 |
| Caroline Kennedy | When you're going through something, whether it's a wonderful thing like having a child or a sad thing like losing somebody, you often feel like 'Oh my God, I'm so overwhelmed; I'm dealing with this huge thing on my own.' In fact, poetry's a nice reminder that, no, everybody goes through it. These are universal experiences. | 108 |
| Chief Joseph | Hear me, my chiefs! I am tired. My heart is sick and sad. From where the sun now stands, I will fight no more forever. | 108 |
| Elizabeth Wurtzel | Why does the rest of the world put up with the hypocrisy, the need to put a happy face on sorrow, the need to keep on keeping on?... I don't know the answer, I know only that I can't. | 108 |
| Golda Meir | Those who don't know how to weep with their whole heart, don't know how to laugh either. | 108 |
| John Henrik Clarke | My loving sister Mary has always shared the pain and pleasure of my heartbeat in a unique and special way. We have sung our sad and warm songs together. | 108 |
| Kerry Washington | I am co-writing a screenplay now and I'm working on the rights to another story I want to do. So I plan to produce and direct. So, for me, I don't really feel that I am vulnerable to that sad baggage that comes with the business of filmmaking. | 108 |
| Patrick Stewart | Whenever the lion fish in the fish tank in the captain's ready room died it was always a sad moment. | 108 |
| Ratan Tata | The day I am not able to fly will be a sad day for me. | 108 |
| Red Skelton | Live by this credo: have a little laugh at life and look around you for happiness instead of sadness. Laughter has always brought me out of unhappy situations. | 108 |
| Shah Rukh Khan | You know, I think we Indians are afraid to show and celebrate our happiness, lest things change around. But I feel that it's okay to be sad and okay to show when you are happy. | 108 |
| William Cowper | Absence from whom we love is worse than death, and frustrates hope severer than despair. | 108 |
| Andre Rieu | The waltz can be sad and at the same time uplifting. You have to see life from both sides, and the waltz encapsulates that. If you're in my audience you give yourself to me and the waltz will grab you. | 108 |
| Andy Kaufman | I just want real reactions. I want people to laugh from the gut, be sad from the gut - or get angry from the gut. | 108 |
| Anne Bronte | Oh, I am very weary, Though tears no longer flow; My eyes are tired of weeping, My heart is sick of woe. | 108 |
| Brittany Snow | Love Is Louder is a movement that is hopefully going to bring some awareness and make some noise when it comes to teens who are feeling suicidal or even just sad, outcasts, and being bullied, and really feel like they have nowhere to turn to. | 108 |
| Todd Solondz | So far, at least, I haven't found a way to tell my kind of stories without making them both sad and funny. | 108 |
| Wayne Coyne | With out art, without communicating, we wouldn't live beyond 30 because we'd be so sad and depressed. | 108 |
| Alana Stewart | Our thoughts really do create our lives. They've done a lot of research showing if you're an optimistic, positive person you will be a healthier person than if you're a sad, depressed, negative person. | 108 |
| E. F. Benson | Taste is one of the five senses, and the man who tells us with priggish pride that he does not care what he eats is merely boasting of his sad deficiency: he might as well be proud of being deaf or blind, or, owing to a perpetual cold in the head, of being devoid of the sense of smell. | 108 |
| Earl Blumenauer | At a time when 2500 American soldiers have given their lives for the cause of bringing democracy to Iraq, it is sad and frustrating to watch the Republican establishment disgrace the exercise of democracy in our own House of Representatives. | 108 |
| Riley Keough | You play to different parts of yourself when you take on various roles. Like, you are your confident self when you're playing this person, and you're your sad self when playing another person - but it's all a part of you somewhere. | 108 |
| Romeo Santos | It's really sad for me that in the United States the Latino community is losing its culture and language, especially among kids born here - a lot of them can't even speak our language. | 108 |
| Shane McAnally | That internal ache is the starting point of country music. If it's a happy song and I can still feel sad in it? That's my favorite. | 108 |
| Stephenie Meyer | It's sad when you can't make everyone happy, though. It's impossible but, at the same time, you still hope. You think, 'Maybe I can do it,' but you know you can't. But gosh, if I had to rely on giving people what they wanted, I would have had to write 40 billion different books and even then, I wouldn't get it right. | 108 |
| Amanda Hocking | I was always depressed growing up. There wasn't a reason for it, I just was. I was sad and morose. I cried a lot, I wrote a lot, and I read a lot; and that was how I dealt with it. | 108 |
| Roger Milla | I only really watch sport. That's where you see real joy. I don't like watching much else on TV, because it's generally either twisted or sad. | 108 |
| James Dashner | Don't ever let the other stuff get in the way of your inherent skills as a kick-butt storyteller. Move the reader, make them happy and sad and excited and scared. Make them stare into space after they've put the book down, thinking about the tale that's become a part of them. | 108 |
| Josh Duhamel | 'Vegas' was something very close to me. I had such a blast doing that. I'm still a little upset that we never really got to shoot that final episode. So many people were invested in it. I'll always be sad about that. | 108 |
| John Jewel | The word of God is full of sad and grave counsel, full of the knowledge of God, of examples of virtues, and of correction of vices, of the end of this life, and of the life to come. | 108 |
| Richard Dawkins | Isn't it sad to go to your grave without ever wondering why you were born? Who, with such a thought, would not spring from bed, eager to resume discovering the world and rejoicing to be part of it? | 109 |
| Adam Levine | I love music videos, I really do. I think it's kind of sad that it's a dying art form. | 109 |
| Dave Matthews | I think I'm probably a very sad man wrapped in a very joyful package, and I think I'm very resilient, and I think I'm quite generous, sometimes to a fault. And I'm very bad with money, but I don't see that too much of a flaw. | 109 |
| Ella Wheeler Wilcox | So many gods, so many creeds, so many paths that wind and wind while just the art of being kind is all the sad world needs. | 109 |
| Harry Connick, Jr. | There are more than 300,000 families in the Gulf region that lost their homes and are waiting for peace of mind. The hurricane exposed the sad reality of poverty in America. We saw, in all its horrific detail, the vulnerabilities of living in inadequate housing and the heartbreak of losing one's home. | 109 |
| James Franco | It feels really sad, to me, to go to a dark bedroom. It's like surrendering to the night or something. | 109 |
| Jean Baudrillard | The sad thing about artificial intelligence is that it lacks artifice and therefore intelligence. | 109 |
| Jean de La Fontaine | Sadness flies away on the wings of time. | 109 |
| Marlee Matlin | I'm the only one in my family who is deaf, and there are still conversations that go around me that I miss out on. And I ask what's going on, and I have to ask to be included. But I'm not going to be sad about it. I don't live in sad isolation. It's just a situation I'm used to. | 109 |
| Olivia Holt | I want to be able to make people laugh and cry and feel happy or sad and feel all these different emotions through singing and acting. Hopefully throughout my career, I'll get to pursue them. | 109 |
| Pierre Corneille | We never taste happiness in perfection, our most fortunate successes are mixed with sadness. | 109 |
| Reinhold Niebuhr | The sad duty of politics is to establish justice in a sinful world. | 109 |
| Tamsin Greig | I'm quite an odd little part of the Venn diagram. I'm not a movie star and beautiful in that way. I do an odd thing that's funny and sad, and my face and my old body can take that. | 109 |
| Zara Larsson | I think my thing is that... I don't know. And that's why I don't wanna sing about 'This is me, this is who I am' because, like, even the question, 'Tell me about yourself' - what are you supposed to say? 'Ooh, I'm a happy girl, but I'm sad, too'? People are so complex. | 109 |
| Zoe Kravitz | Hollywood is like a really sad, grown up version of high school where people get labeled as 'cool,' 'not cool,' 'jock,' 'bombshell,' 'quirky'... it's like a caste system. You're either in, or you're out. | 109 |
| Boy George | What's really sad is that a lot of very talented people are being forced to do things that are very embarrassing and I don't intend to be one of them. | 109 |
| Cheryl Ladd | I'm terribly sad about Farrah's passing. She was incredibly brave, and God will be welcoming her with open arms. | 109 |
| Gayle Forman | It's not that we like sad movies that make us feel like, 'Oh, my God, what a bummer.' We like emotionally moving experiences. It's nothing new. It's catharsis. It goes back to the Greeks. | 109 |
| Hope Davis | You know what I have noticed? And this is really sad. Flying first class is less scary than flying coach. They speak to you and they're so nice to you and they want to help you and they know you want a drink before the plane takes off. And they bring it to you without asking. If you're sitting in coach and hoping for a drink, good luck. | 109 |
| Sidonie Gabrielle Colette | I love my past, I love my present. I am not ashamed of what I have had, and I am not sad because I no longer have it. | 109 |
| Suzanne Somers | Many marriages break up over hormonal imbalance, which is truly sad because it comes from a lack of understanding. When hormones are put back in balance with natural bioidentical hormones, a woman or man resumes their normal life of feeling good and having days filled with quality. | 109 |
| Tom Glazer | When I was in Philadelphia during the Depression in 1930 or '31, I got a very sad job as a night watchman in a garage. The cars in the garage had been abandoned by their owners, since they had lost their jobs and couldn't keep up the payments. | 109 |
| Trevor Rabin | I belong in America more than South Africa. I can't remember the feeling of living there anymore. It's like it was in another life. That's sad in a way. It is my country. It's where I grew up. You don't know what it's like to have these negative feelings about your homeland. There are roots you can't escape. | 109 |
| Darlene Love | When people come and see me, I want them to experience joy. I don't do any sad songs in my show. It's to lift the spirit. | 109 |
| Karolina Kurkova | There is the glamour side of it, which allows you to meet great variety of people with whom you simply can have a good time, but there's also the sad side of it that drags you into a superficial and artificial world. | 109 |
| Margaret D. Nadauld | The Holy Spirit can be with you always and guide you back to Him, but in order to enjoy the benefits of this holy gift, you must truly receive it, and then you must use it in your life. How sad it would be to be given such a precious gift and then set it aside and never use it. | 109 |
| John Edward | I think that the majority of messages are validating messages to confirm the survival of conscious. And many times that validation message is negative or sad. | 109 |
| Jane Lindskold | The sad thing is that, for many writers of fantasy fiction, the inclusion of magic seems to mean that logical ramifications and real-world laws both go out the window. | 109 |
| James Frey | I am essentially optimistic. Being alive is incredible. Life is extraordinary and beautiful. It can be hard and sad and terrifying, but it's all we've got. | 109 |
| Khalil Gibran | Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding. | 110 |
| Henry Wadsworth Longfellow | Every man has his secret sorrows which the world knows not; and often times we call a man cold when he is only sad. | 110 |
| Vaclav Havel | Sometimes I wonder if suicides aren't in fact sad guardians of the meaning of life. | 110 |
| Christiane Amanpour | Here in the United States, our profession is much maligned, people simply don't trust or like journalists anymore and that's sad. | 110 |
| Greta Garbo | Your joys and sorrows. You can never tell them. You cheapen the inside of yourself if you do tell them. | 110 |
| Harriet Ann Jacobs | But I now entered on my fifteenth year - a sad epoch in the life of a slave girl. My master began to whisper foul words in my ear. Young as I was, I could not remain ignorant of their import. | 110 |
| Lake Bell | You have to keep hobbies in L.A. Otherwise, it's sad. | 110 |
| Ravi Shankar | Everybody has a right to like or dislike anything or anyone. From a flower to a flavor to a book or a composition but it is very sad that in our country we actually fight over such things in an unseemly manner. | 110 |
| Red Skelton | His death was the first time that Ed Wynn ever made anyone sad. | 110 |
| Dierks Bentley | I'm part of the party, getting the crowd fired up, singing songs, pouring drinks, whatever it takes to get them to have a good time. When I walk into the meet-and-greet, someone's always going to have a story, a sad story or a happy story. | 110 |
| Faye Dunaway | I often say the last role I played that really touched me and where I was able to access what I really am was Bonnie, which is kind of sad when you think how early in my career that was. | 110 |
| Ricki Lake | It was a long time in the making, my divorce. One day became less special than the next, and pretty soon, we ceased all conversation. It is a sad day when you have nothing left to say. | 110 |
| Rory McIlroy | Home will always be Northern Ireland but my schedule means for the next few years I won't be there as much. I can't do the same things that I did a year ago. That is I'm something conscious of, but I'm not sad about it. It's fine. | 110 |
| Jeff Lemire | Everyone finds my work super sad. I never do. I always find it uplifting in a weird way. | 110 |
| Lisa Kudrow | Since I had the baby I can't tolerate anything violent or sad, I saw the Matrix and I had my eyes closed through a lot of it, though I didn't need to. I would peek, and then think, oh OK, I can see that. | 110 |
| Paula Danziger | The books are funny and sad, and that's what people respond to. | 110 |
| Alice Englert | What makes me sad about school is that the people who are unhappy are unhappy because they don't believe it will change. And I just want to say: 'It does! High school ends and it's over.' I will tell anyone that it's OK to be unhappy at school, make lots of mistakes and then it will be over. | 110 |
| Dennis Bergkamp | I love playing football, being out on the pitch with a ball, and I will be a little sad when that ends. | 110 |
| Jamie xx | It's not like I force myself to think of sad things, but... it's more that I make music because it makes me happy. | 110 |
| Jim Broadbent | I never was a great Thatcher fan, and it wasn't a sad day in my life when she resigned. | 110 |
| Joe Elliott | If you don't physically age gracefully, it's a bit sad. I think Steven Tyler can get away anything, because he still looks like he did in '73. Especially from row Z backwards in an arena. As long as the Stones keep their hair and don't get fat they'll get away with the wrinkles. | 110 |
| Anna Quindlen | If I get the forty additional years statisticians say are likely coming to me, I could fit in at least one, maybe two new lifetimes. Sad that only one of those lifetimes can include being the mother of young children. | 111 |
| Ben Stiller | I love New York. I was sad, depressed and incredibly moved by our fellow countrymen and what they've done. I wanted to give people a chance to see something funny, have a distraction. | 111 |
| Conor Oberst | They say it's better to bury your sadness in a graveyard or garden that waits for the spring to wake from its sleep and burst into green. | 111 |
| David Chang | America is a country of abundance, but our food culture is sad - based on huge portions and fast food. Let's stop with the excuses and start creating something better. | 111 |
| David Hasselhoff | I find it a bit sad that there is no photo of me hanging on the walls in the Berlin Museum at Checkpoint Charlie. | 111 |

| George Best | Football is a sad game. | 111 |
| Monica Bellucci | Usually, I'm only sad when something sad happens. I am not a melancholic person. I like to live very much in the present. If I was an animal, I'd be a little cat. They like to live life. | 111 |
| Queen Victoria | A marriage is no amusement but a solemn act, and generally a sad one. | 111 |
| Tom Hardy | If you're lucky like me, your relationship with your brother has resolved itself on the peaceful side of the fence and has stayed there. But if you're someone who's got a family that's all fractured and finding it hard to relate, that's a very sad place to be. | 111 |
| Zach Braff | I'm a person who likes these sort of movies... sad but moving 'art movies' that normally are at a festival and then they go to a small art house theater and disappear. | 111 |
| Craig Kilborn | President Bush spent last night calling world leaders to support the war with Iraq and it is sad when the most powerful man on earth is yelling, 'I know you're there, pick up, pick up. | 111 |
| Dierks Bentley | I try to make an album that reflects what I love about country music. It's not just all about happy parties all the time. There are some sad songs. | 111 |
| Drew Goddard | You start to fall in love with characters as you work with them, and anytime that you care about your characters and you realize that you're gonna have to kill them, that fear creeps in. It's sad. It's scary, and it's also sad. Because you like these people. | 111 |
| Hoda Kotb | If you have a friend or family member with breast cancer, try not to look at her with 'sad eyes.' Treat her like you always did; just show a little extra love. | 111 |
| Laura Wasser | If some people try to make a prenup into a pre-negotiation of a divorce... Well, that's really sad. But I do think that it's important to understand what each person has coming into the relationship, and what each person expects from the relationship. They aren't always fun discussions to have, and they can be very eye-opening. | 111 |
| Matthew Arnold | Sad Patience, too near neighbour to despair. | 111 |
| Rachel Platten | I work extremely hard to stay positive and happy. But I get sad and anxious, too, just like everyone. | 111 |
| Schoolboy Q | People look at me and keep walking - but you can tell they know who I am. I want them to bug me. It's gonna be a sad day when they don't. | 111 |
| A. N. Wilson | The death of any man aged 56 is very sad for his widow and family. And no one would deny that Steve Jobs was a brilliant and highly innovative technician, with great business flair and marketing ability. | 111 |
| Allison Tolman | My mother has stories of leaving me in the bath as small kid, like a 3-year-old, and there being mirrors on the side, and her going to get a towel and coming back in, and me making faces at myself, like, 'Now I'm happy. Now I'm sad.' | 111 |
| Jill Soloway | It's really easy to do sad; you just put on some sad music and write dramatically - everybody can do that. | 111 |
| Marilyn Minter | We can't shame women for trying to be beautiful. That's so mean and unfair. But there's a part of me that thinks it's really sad, too. It's very complicated. | 111 |
| Melissa Leo | I mean, the unfair treatment of women and black people and Indians and other groups, that's real. Mistreatment of other people because 'I'm better than you are' is such a sad part of the world. | 111 |
| Skylar Grey | I think, honestly, that a lot of people think I'm sad and dark all the time, because of the music I have made. But there's a huge part of my personality that's really energetic, outgoing and goofy. | 111 |
| Alan Vega | That's what so sad about a lot of modern music, in my opinion, so many young bands never stay around long enough to fulfill their ultimate promise. They only get halfway there or a quarter of the way there. | 111 |
| Anthony Daniels | Two or three notes of music can instantly make you feel sad or tense or afraid or angry. To do that in words is much more difficult. | 111 |
| Jackson Browne | I wrote the song For A Dancer for a friend of mine who died in a fire. He was in the sauna in a house that burned down, so he had no idea anything was going on. It was very sad. | 111 |
| Jennifer Weiner | Money is a tremendous advantage in just about everything, but in terms of reproduction, if you're a poor woman and you are infertile, it's like too bad, so sad. And if you are a wealthy woman, you can kind of buy whatever you want. | 111 |
| Khalil Gibran | Sadness is but a wall between two gardens. | 112 |
| Henry Wadsworth Longfellow | If we could read the secret history of our enemies we should find in each man's life sorrow and suffering enough to disarm all hostility. | 112 |
| Charles R. Swindoll | A teardrop on earth summons the King of heaven. | 112 |
| Alexander Smith | The saddest thing that befalls a soul is when it loses faith in God and woman. | 112 |
| Miranda Lambert | Falling in love is awesome, but I'm never drawn to happy songs per se, so whenever you sit down to write a heartbreak song and you're happily in love, it's like, 'OK, now I have to go back to a sad place to get something good.' | 112 |
| Ted Turner | The sad thing about destroying the environment is that we're going to take the rest of life with us. The bluebirds will be gone, and the elephants will be gone, and the tigers will be gone, and the pandas will be gone. | 112 |
| Vanessa Carlton | And it's sad because it's like a surprise to people - almost an anomaly - when artists are actually refined and trained on an instrument. That's the last thing people think about. | 112 |
| Vito Fossella | The sad fact is that the same terrorist scenarios, if they occurred in five different States, there could be five different sets of responses to the American people. We need, at a minimum, a level of coordination on communicating threats to the public. | 112 |
| Zac Brown | It does make me sad that there's a lot of great songs out there, and they're not going to see the light of day because they're competing with these tailgate songs. | 112 |
| Kimberly Elise | I'm very free with all my emotions, whether it's happy, sad, mad, glad, whatever. | 112 |
| Lance Bass | In Mississippi, you don't admit that you're gay. It's just an awkward thing down South, which is sad. | 112 |
| Nana Mouskouri | If I was sad or afraid, I would sit in a corner and sing. If I was happy I would jump into the middle of the room and sing. It was how I expressed my emotions. | 112 |
| Alexander Payne | Marketing has supplanted story as the primary force behind the worthiness of making a film, and that's a very sad thing. It's film only as a function of consumerism rather than as an important component of our culture, and that's everywhere around the world. | 112 |
| Azzedine Alaia | If you're sad about what you see in the mirror when you wake up every morning, you must change it. | 112 |
| Elisabeth Rohm | I've grown as a person. The dynamics on this set are very demanding because we work a lot of hours, it's very sad material, so there's always someone upset because it's really heavy stuff. | 112 |
| John Ciardi | It is easy enough to praise men for the courage of their convictions. I wish I could teach the sad young of this mealy generation the courage of their confusions. | 112 |
| Linda Blair | I was so sad from losing two of my dogs and my mother. I had this vision of all these animals sitting behind bars. They had no control and were scared. That's why I got into fostering and adopting animals out. | 112 |
| Marissa Jaret Winokur | I can honestly say - not proudly, but honestly - before I had a child, I would see things on TV or hear the news, feel sad for the people and move forward with my day. Now I see everything through a mother's eyes. | 112 |
| Michael Vick | I mean, I was just one of the ones who got exposed, and because of the position I was in, where I was in my life, it went mainstream. A lot of people got out of it after my situation, not because I went to prison but because it was sad for them to see me go through something that was so pointless, that could have been avoided. | 112 |
| Sebastian Faulks | In the 1970s, British food was beginning to get good, whereas in France it was just starting its long, sad decline. My most memorable meals, however, have been in Italy. | 112 |
| David Ulevitch | When people ask me, 'Are you happy?' I respond with, 'You've asked the wrong question.' There is a deep kind of satisfaction you get from building a company. This kind of satisfaction transcends happy, sad, hard, or easy. I seek satisfaction. I want to be positively disruptive. | 112 |
| Jeremy Irons | The sad thing about any business I suppose, but in mine you see it particularly, is that you're always asked to do what you've already done. | 112 |
| Julia Louis-Dreyfus | Elaine is just in pain. I think Elaine has become very, very sad woman. She is someone who is in deep need of many hours of analysis and I like to think that I'm not that type of person. | 112 |
| Lionel Messi | The day you think there is no improvements to be made is a sad one for any player. | 113 |
| Gene Simmons | The sad thing is most people have to check with someone before they do the things that make them happy. We're all passing through; the least we can do is be happy, and the only way to do that is by being selfish. | 113 |
| Kristen Stewart | The sad thing is that I feel so boring because 'Twilight' is literally how every conversation I have these days begins - whether it's someone I'm meeting for the first time or someone I just haven't seen in a while. The first thing I want to say to them is, 'It's insane! And, as a person, I can't do anything!' | 113 |
| Troy Polamalu | There are times I am happy. There are times I am sad. But I always try to separate emotion from the need to reach for something stronger, deeper. And then no matter the emotion, I can reach for a stability that helps me accomplish what is the goal. | 113 |
| Willie Nelson | It doesn't hurt to feel sad from time to time. | 113 |
| Alan Jackson | I like to write sad songs. They're much easier to write and you get a lot more emotion into them. But people don't want to hear them as much. And radio definitely doesn't; they want that positive, uptempo thing. | 113 |
| Jerome K. Jerome | I can see the humorous side of things and enjoy the fun when it comes; but look where I will, there seems to me always more sadness than joy in life. | 113 |
| Merle Haggard | Everybody likes Johnny Cash. I think the sad part of it is his health is givin' him problems. | 113 |
| Pixie Lott | I take my inspiration for the song writing from little experiences, not even if I've experienced them myself but say if something has made me sad, I will use that emotion. I just use everyday life and write about it. | 113 |
| Richard Attenborough | What I am sad about is that there is now, in America, no equivalent to the art circuit. | 113 |
| Arthur Wellesley | Next to a lost battle, nothing is so sad as a battle that has been won. | 113 |
| Jane Velez-Mitchell | I actually get quite sad when I smell bacon. | 113 |
| Michael Sheen | For a culture that has such a problem with death, we seem to deal with it in a quite bizarre way. We see people shot, killed and blown up, and we find it funny and sexy and all those things. But, the reality of it is that every day people die, and people are really sad and they grieve and they go through a really difficult process with it. | 113 |
| Pauline Phillips | It is a sad commentary of our times when our young must seek advice and counsel from 'Dear Abby' instead of going to Mom and Dad. | 113 |
| Robert Stack | Someone once accused me of being like Eliot Ness. I sad no sir, I'm not E.N., but I can promise you that I'm not Al Capone! | 113 |
| Robin Quivers | It's sad that women characters have lost so much ground in popular movies. Didn't 'Thelma and Louise' prove that women want to see women doing things on film? Thelma and Louise were in a classic car; they were being chased by cops; they shot up a truck - and women loved it. | 113 |
| Tab Hunter | All the things that happen to people in the industry today, the actors, what they have to put up with, all the people wanting to know every single moment of their lives - I think it's really sad. | 113 |
| Jackie Evancho | I write about heartbreak because I like writing about sad things, but I'm writing happy songs, too! | 113 |
| Jaime Camil | When you do a good comedy show, you have to understand that if you don't have drama or sad moments, then the comedy turns into a clowning kind of situation. | 113 |
| Ben Stein | When I seemed to be irritable or sad, my father would quote the learned Dr. Knight, and then say, 'Just go to sleep.' Like all smart aleck kids, I thought the advice was silly. But as I've grown older, I've realized just how smart Knight was. | 114 |
| Billy Idol | I think love's exciting and happy, as well as being able to make you sad. | 114 |
| Heston Blumenthal | You know how sad your life is when you know the release date of DVDs. | 114 |
| Irvine Welsh | There's all this stuff that is happening in Edinburgh now, it's a sad attempt to create an Edinburgh society, similar to a London society, a highbrow literature celebrity society. | 114 |
| James Russell Lowell | Usually when people are sad, they don't do anything. They just cry over their condition. But when they get angry, they bring about a change. | 114 |
| Jeff Buckley | I'm convinced I got signed because of who I am. And it makes me sad. | 114 |
| Jesse Jackson | It is a historical error for those who were not there to just refer to August 28th as 'I Have a Dream' speech day. That is a real disservice to those who were there. It was a sad day. It was not a celebration environment. | 114 |
| Josephine Baker | The hate directed against the colored people here in St. Louis has always given me a sad feeling because when I was a little girl I remember the horror of the East St. Louis race riot. | 114 |
| Peter Steele | Well, darkness with humor... I'm not an extremely suicidal or sad person. | 114 |
| Charles Saatchi | I don't buy art just to make artists happy any more than I want to make them sad if I sell their work. | 114 |
| Teller | I'm more apt to cry at something beautiful than at something sad. | 114 |
| Beth Henley | What I loved about the acting class was that you got to think all day long about a person that wasn't you, and figure out why they were sad and what they wanted, what they dreamed. | 114 |
| Mallory Ortberg | Ghost! I miss him! Is that weird? I miss him even though I invented him. I feel a lot of tenderness toward him. I don't write a lot of stuff that is sad or that is tender and affectionate, so that has a very special place in my heart. | 114 |
| Mike Mills | My experience, with both my parents, is that grief has a lot of down, sad things, but I was also really emotionally raw, in the first year after each of them passed. Flowers smelled more intensely, my relationships were hotter, and I was more willing to risk. I was going for it a lot more. I was 'unsober' and I wasn't playing by my rules. | 114 |
| Richie Benaud | It was sad leaving the BBC; not quite like being divorced, but you don't leave after a period stretching from 1960 to 1999 without feeling a certain number of pangs. | 114 |
| Tracey Gold | Our family has gone through a very difficult time. My husband and I have taken the brunt of it. I've never known what it truly felt like to be so sad and desperate inside. | 114 |
| Dave deBronkart | The baby boomer surge is forcing society to face decisions about costs - and particularly what is valuable. It's senseless for clinicians and governments to bear these choices alone; a sad effect of needless paternalism is that it places a false burden on responsible people. | 114 |
| Jamie Cullum | 'm really proud of 'Sad, Sad World' because it manages to state a very complex paradox of an emotion that I experienced when I had children, which is this great happiness and this great intensity, but with that intensity comes a deeper understanding of the world. | 114 |
| Jackie Kennedy | One must not let oneself be overwhelmed by sadness. | 115 |
| Mattie Stepanek | Sad things happen. They do. But we don't need to live sad forever. | 115 |
| Ashton Kutcher | I can't grow a mustache. It's pretty sad if I attempt to. | 115 |
| Brigitte Bardot | It is sad to grow old but nice to ripen. | 115 |
| Garrison Keillor | They say such nice things about people at their funerals that it makes me sad that I'm going to miss mine by just a few days. | 115 |
| Graham Greene | Morality comes with the sad wisdom of age, when the sense of curiosity has withered. | 115 |
| Katy Perry | I think people appreciate a songwriter who shows different sides. The whole angst thing is cool, but if that's all you've got, it's just boring. Everything I write, whether it's happy or sad, has a sense of humor to it. | 115 |
| Lewis Black | This is how sad my life is: I got a scar from scratching my chicken pox too much. That's my big scar story. I really have no major scars. | 115 |
| Natalie Imbruglia | It's much easier to write when you're sad. But you can end up isolated and depressed because you almost need to put yourself in that situation to have that angst to write from. | 115 |
| Peter Ustinov | I am an optimist, unrepentant and militant. After all, in order not to be a fool an optimist must know how sad a place the world can be. It is only the pessimist who finds this out anew every day. | 115 |
| Alison Sweeney | I've met so many fans of daytime television who've watched the shows with their moms and grandmas and feel like they've known the characters their whole lives. It's sad for them to have to say goodbye to their favorite soaps and characters. We don't want that to happen to the 'Days' fans. | 115 |
| Randy Moss | I can't really have any friends. It's sad, really. It's lonely. But that's how I am. | 115 |
| Sally Field | I think that's very sad, that I haven't allowed my heart to be broken. I have broken a few. | 115 |
| Willow Shields | It's not a struggle, but sometimes when you're gone for a month or two, you start to miss your friends. I love acting so much that it fills that gap of being sad about not being able to see my friends. | 115 |
| Gugu Mbatha-Raw | This is going to sound really sad, but I didn't really have any heartthrobs when I was growing up. I was a bit of a geek. | 115 |
| Lionel Messi | I have many years to get better and better, and that has to be my ambition. The day you think there is no improvements to be made is a sad one for any player. | 116 |
| Chuck Close | 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. | 116 |
| Jack Nicholson | There were points in my life where I felt oddly irresistible to women. I'm not in that state now and that makes me sad. | 116 |
| Josephine Baker | The hate directed against the colored people here in St. Louis has always given me a sad feeling... How can you expect the world to believe in you and respect your preaching of democracy when you yourself treat your colored brothers as you do? | 116 |
| Lilly Singh | I am pretty weird - as weird as in my videos. The only difference is Lilly is not a performer, and Superwoman is. So Superwoman is very fearless. You'll never see her nervous. You'll never see her sad. But Lilly is a human. She is the person behind Superwoman, who gets sad and tired sometimes. | 116 |
| Rita Ora | I end up doing selfies 'cause I am so sad. | 116 |
| Thomas Huxley | It is one of the most saddening things in life that, try as we may, we can never be certain of making people happy, whereas we can almost always be certain of making them unhappy. | 116 |
| Alice Waters | I feel like old age in America is a very sad thing. I have been many different places around the world where getting older is something you look forward to. | 116 |
| Sammy Hagar | All he cares about is going out there with his Jack Daniels bottle. Nothing has changed. That's kind of sad. If David was doing better than he used to be, then that would be different. But it was a joke and he made it that way. | 116 |
| Tina Yothers | With the other fellow actors who have gone astray, I think it's sad that society wants to label the business as doing this to people. It's really not true. | 116 |
| Marie Osmond | I didn't know my mother had it. I think a lot of women don't know their mothers had it; that's the sad thing about depression. You know, you don't function anymore. You shut down. You feel like you are in a void. | 116 |
| Rob Delaney | It makes me sad that corporations and media and Hollywood conspire to make people feel terrible about their bodies from the second they wake up, so I sort of try to subversively undercut that. | 116 |
| Moon Unit Zappa | I think I have a dark view of the world. I have to make everything funny, otherwise it all seems so sad. | 116 |
| Percy Bysshe Shelley | We look before and after, And pine for what is not; Our sincerest laughter With some pain is fraught; Our sweetest songs are those that tell of saddest thought. | 117 |
| Sophocles | The keenest sorrow is to recognize ourselves as the sole cause of all our adversities. | 117 |
| Corazon Aquino | It's very simple, I just tell my sad story, and people weep. | 117 |
| Emile Durkheim | The Christian conceives of his abode on Earth in no more delightful colors than the Jainist sectarian. He sees in it only a time of sad trial; he also thinks that his true country is not of this world. | 117 |
| Margaret J. Wheatley | I'm sad to report that in the past few years, ever since uncertainty became our insistent 21st century companion, leadership has taken a great leap backwards to the familiar territory of command and control. | 117 |
| Dakota Fanning | The hardest thing is at the end you have to say bye to all these people who you have worked with for so many months. It was really sad not to see them anymore. But you have the parties that you go to and you get to see them, like the premieres and the screenings. | 117 |
| Kathryn Stockett | It can be really powerful to write something when you're sad. | 117 |
| Keeley Hawes | When you think about such fine actors as Maggie Smith or Michael Gambon, they do all mediums. I think it would be quite sad and a bit dull just to have to stick to one. I like all of them. | 117 |
| Amber Tamblyn | My father comes from a generation of film that actors my age don't even know about, which is really sad. | 117 |
| Sanjay Dutt | I think the best thing about my short-lived political career was that I saw the interiors of Bihar and UP. That is the real India, and, being an Indian, it was really sad to see our own people living in such dismal conditions. It was a real eye-opener. | 117 |
| Mac Davis | Don't Cry Daddy is a pretty sad song. He got to the end of it and it was just real quiet and Elvis says, I'm gonna cut that someday for my daddy. And, by God, he did. He lived up to his word. | 117 |
| Bruce Springsteen | It's a sad man my friend who's livin' in his own skin and can't stand the company. | 118 |
| Alvin Ailey | My lasting impression of Truman Capote is that he was a terribly gentle, terribly sensitive, and terribly sad man. | 118 |
| Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton | We tell our triumphs to the crowds, but our own hearts are the sole confidants of our sorrows. | 118 |
| Jean de la Bruyere | It is a sad thing when men have neither the wit to speak well nor the judgment to hold their tongues. | 118 |
| Phillips Brooks | Sad will be the day for any man when he becomes contented with the thoughts he is thinking and the deeds he is doing - where there is not forever beating at the doors of his soul some great desire to do something larger; which he knows he was meant and made to do. | 118 |
| Brandon Flowers | I went to high school with girls that would daydream about what strip club they wanted to work at. That's one of the sad things about Vegas. | 118 |
| Elliott Carter | When I was in Paris, all of the German refugees began to flow in and it was a very sad time. | 118 |
| Glen Hansard | And for some reason, when I'm sad, I do listen to Leonard Cohen, I do listen to Joni Mitchell. I do find myself going to the music that's actually reflecting my mood, as opposed to sticking on Motown, which might actually bring my mood up. | 118 |
| James Gray | The sad truth for American actors is that they really have no control whatsoever over the material that they get, or can do, particularly actresses. And if you're over 40 and you're an actress, forget it. | 118 |
| Percy Bysshe Shelley | Our sweetest songs are those that tell of saddest thought. | 119 |
| John Steinbeck | A sad soul can kill quicker than a germ. | 119 |
| Claude Debussy | Art is the most beautiful deception of all. And although people try to incorporate the everyday events of life in it, we must hope that it will remain a deception lest it become a utilitarian thing, sad as a factory. | 119 |
| Jennifer Aniston | My parents' divorce left me with a lot of sadness and pain and acting, and especially humour, was my way of dealing with all that. | 119 |
| Nikki Reed | There is still so much drama in my life, but I'm not a sad person anymore. | 119 |
| Norman Cousins | The tragedy of life is in what dies inside a man while he lives - the death of genuine feeling, the death of inspired response, the awareness that makes it possible to feel the pain or the glory of other men in yourself. | 119 |
| Peter Steele | I don't know what to say to that, but I have to agree with Johnny that, yeah, we do touch upon things that most men would rather not admit: That we feel pain, we cry, get sad and sometimes don't deal well with disappointment. | 119 |
| Q'orianka Kilcher | I honestly think I was an Indian living in the time of the Trail of Tears. Something like that. Every time I read books about back then, I get so devastatingly sad, so, so... I feel such a deep connection to it. | 119 |
| Rowan Atkinson | Apart from the fact that your physical ability starts to decline, I also think someone in their fifties being childlike becomes a little sad. You've got to be careful. | 119 |
| Sandra Bullock | I think everything is going to be devastatingly sad - when the phone rings, I know somebody in my family's been hurt, somebody's going to die. I'm sure a therapist would go, 'That's not a good way to live,' but every time it's not that bad thing, I'm so thankful and appreciative. | 119 |
| Viggo Mortensen | There's no excuse to be bored. Sad, yes. Angry, yes. Depressed, yes. Crazy, yes. But there's no excuse for boredom, ever. | 119 |
| Helen Oyeyemi | I remember that I used to get lots of books from the library, and 'Little Women' was one of them. And I used to just cross out the parts of it that really upset me because it's such a sad book in so many ways. I'd cross out the parts that upset me, and I would rewrite new endings. | 119 |
| Jean Paul Gaultier | People are so codified - it's sad. | 119 |
| Lorrie Moore | I don't sit down to write a funny story. Every single thing I sit down to write is meant to be sad. | 119 |
| Maggie Smith | I fear that I won't work in the theatre again. I'm sad about that. But I won't retire. | 119 |
| Max Muller | Of these years nought remains in memory but the sad feeling that we have advanced and only grown older. | 119 |
| Robert Wyatt | People say, oh it's a shame, you're not nostalgic about the '60s. Well actually, it's quite good, when you think of it. Wouldn't it be sad if I was sitting here wishing it back? | 119 |
| Arne Jacobsen | You will soon find that I am a bit obsessive about my work. And that is a little sad, one often feels strangely restricted, not finding time to simmer, although one actually has many interests. | 119 |
| Shilpa Shetty | I was always spiritual, even as a child. I was taught to pray, show gratitude. We had an attitude of gratitude. Even if life was ugly, bad or sad - we prayed. | 119 |
| Dee Dee Ramone | It was sad when Sid Vicious died... I was freaked out when Phil Lynott died from Thin Lizzy. I cried. It was too crazy. | 119 |
| Cara Delevingne | I love curves; I'm all about curves. I don't have many, which is really sad, but I think the more the better. | 120 |
| Emma Thompson | We've got people looking at our seamy side and our sad side a lot of the time because that's easier. It's much more difficult to make a film about happiness with lots of jokes in it. | 120 |
| Foster Friess | It's so sad to see how few people in the Obama administration have any private sector experience. | 120 |
| Ibrahim Babangida | Informed by our sad experience of history, we require nothing short of a foundation for lasting democracy. | 120 |
| Olly Murs | I don't really do sad, depressing songs. | 120 |
| Stephen Jay Gould | If I don't make it, I'll be very sad that there are things I didn't do, but I'm happy that I've done what I have. | 120 |
| Tyra Banks | When I was a young girl, I lost a lot of weight over one summer - involuntarily - and was just really depressed and sad. There was nothing I could do to gain weight. I would look in the mirror and call myself disgusting every day. | 120 |
| Caitlin Moran | I'm so glad I spent 10 years being sad and lonely. | 120 |
| Charlie Kaufman | As a writer, or as a filmmaker, you have to present yourself, and part of what yourself is is what you're interested in, or what you think is funny, or what you think is sad, or what you think is horrible. | 120 |
| Jean Paul | Sorrows are like thunderclouds, in the distance they look black, over our heads scarcely gray. | 120 |
| Tom Baker | We have newsreaders behaving like actors, lowering their voices if it's a sad story, as if we didn't know it's a sad story. There isn't a single cool newsreader. | 120 |
| Jake Roberts | It's the sad thing about entertainment: it's not always about who is the best. Jake The Snake had a horrible time playing politics. I never had a belt; didn't need one. They tried to put me against Hogan twice, but when the people chanted for me, when they chanted for the DDT, that was the end of that. They couldn't ruin their marketing. | 120 |
| Jenny Slate | It looks like I'm just gonna keep getting really, really happy and sad and embarrassed and excited and disappointed for the rest of my life, so let's just do that. | 120 |
| Tavi Gevinson | I get kind of sad when I look at all of my magazines and think about how at one time I was much more impressed with a certain fashion editorial, or how I feel like I can't really relate to being that excited about fashion anymore. Maybe it's being jaded, but I honestly like that now, when something's really good, I feel more affected by it. | 120 |
| Daniel Baldwin | My little son, Atticus, desperately needs his dad and I haven't been there for him... and that's sad. | 120 |
| Jay Inslee | Because the sad fact is that the Enron Corporation and others manipulated with unfortunately great effect the energy market in the West Coast starting in 2000. | 120 |
| Dante Alighieri | The sad souls of those who lived without blame and without praise. | 121 |
| Stephen King | And in real life endings aren't always neat, whether they're happy endings, or whether they're sad endings. | 121 |
| Fred Durst | I love jazz music and sad music. I'm a sentimental guy. I'm a romantic guy. | 121 |
| Reba McEntire | That's what is so great about being able to record a 13-song album. You can do a very eclectic group of songs. You do have some almost pop songs in there, but you do have your traditional country, story songs. You have your ballads, your happy songs, your sad songs, your love songs, and your feisty songs. | 121 |
| Debra Winger | I happen to be interested in watching a face age. I like faces of women aging so it makes me personally quite sad. That's a beautiful gift from God. If people don't want to see that anymore then I won't be in anymore movies. | 121 |
| Dick Costolo | The way you build trust with your team is around super-clear communication in that instant when they say, 'I will be sad if you don't do X.' You have to say, 'We're not going to do X, and here's why, and believe me, you'll be much sadder later if I let you go do it and you spend a bunch of time on it and nothing ever happens.' | 121 |
| Paula Hawkins | People think it's terribly sad to spend Christmas alone, but it's no sadder, really, than spending any other day alone, is it? | 121 |
| Suzi Quatro | There are things you're supposed to learn in life. My biggest regret was terminating a pregnancy when I was about 18. Every day, I think about who that baby would be now; it still makes me sad. | 121 |
| Joel Kinnaman | 'The Killing' has a really great combination of qualities: Even though it's very sad and deals with mourning and grief, it's still exciting. It's about real people and it doesn't shy from the painful points of life. | 121 |
| John Catsimatidis | Nobody destroys people - people destroy themselves, and it's very, very sad. | 121 |
| Maria Mitchell | It is sad to see a woman sacrificing the ties of the affections even to do good. | 121 |
| Shreya Ghoshal | Unfortunately, we are living in an era where plenty of songs with vulgar, objectionable lyrics are also becoming popular. It's a disturbing trend, and I feel really sad when I see small kids dancing to such numbers in television shows. In my career so far, I have refused any song whose lyrics I haven't been comfortable with. | 121 |
| Aurora | I'm very sensitive. I remember, as a kid at school, if someone in the classroom was sad or angry, it could have a great impact on me. | 121 |
| Matthew Gray Gubler | I get really sad when people say, 'I'm no good. I haven't been cast in a pilot.' It doesn't mean you're not good; it just means someone hasn't seen you yet. It doesn't mean that in real life you're not the greatest actor. | 121 |
| Sarah Chalke | I would be sad if it ended now. It's been the best job I've had by a long shot, especially creatively because the writing is so good. Every week I get the script and I laugh out loud and get excited for the different stuff we get to do. | 121 |
| Mark Twain | There is no sadder sight than a young pessimist. | 122 |
| Robin Williams | Do I perform sometimes in a manic style? Yes. Am I manic all the time? No. Do I get sad? Oh yeah. Does it hit me hard? Oh yeah. | 122 |
| Mattie Stepanek | I do fear death. But what I actually fear is not dying. I mean, true, it will be sad. But I know that there is a better place waiting for me. | 122 |
| Alan Dershowitz | The sad reality is that there are no purely domestic issues in Israel. Issues that would be dealt with by municipalities in other countries - such as how to deal with a dangerous bridge or how to resolve conflicts between religious and secular bus riders - become major international issues when they occur in Israel. | 122 |
| Emma Watson | But it's a journey and the sad thing is you only learn from experience, so as much as someone can tell you things, you have to go out there and make your own mistakes in order to learn. | 122 |
| Grimes | I'm sad that it's uncool or offensive to talk about environmental or human rights issues. | 122 |
| John Cleese | I was very sad to hear of the death of Ronnie Barker, who was such a warm, friendly and encouraging presence to have when I started in television. He was also a great comic actor to learn from. | 122 |
| Kevin Rudd | Ladies and gentlemen, it is with great sadness that I announce that I will resign as Australia's Minister for Foreign Affairs. I am sad because I love this job. I'm totally dedicated to the work that we are doing in Australia's name around the world, and I believe that we have achieved many good results for Australia, and I'm proud of them. | 122 |
| Lionel Blue | I didn't want to be on the losing side. I was fed up with Jewish weakness, timidity and fear. I didn't want any more Jewish sentimentality and Jewish suffering. I was sickened by our sad songs. | 122 |
| Patricia Polacco | I don't know if my work is a concerted effort to make kids sad! | 122 |
| Richard Simmons | When you're feeling down, sad, lonely, negative, you don't want to take care of yourself - and the weight problem and the diabetic problem and the heart attack and stroke problems and high cholesterol set in. | 122 |
| Alex Lifeson | People are getting away from the whole album experience, it's true. I think that's sad. Maybe I'm just saying that because I'm an old fart. But I can't help it - albums are what I grew up with, and I still love them. | 122 |
| Karen Gillan | Being in 'Doctor Who' has been so amazing. I don't think I will ever have a job quite so fun ever again. I feel sad because I am going to leave, but with any story, it has to come to an end. | 122 |
| Mira Nair | You know, the sad thing of post-9/11, which was of course horrific, was that the city in which I felt completely at home for two decades, suddenly people like us - brown people - were looked at as the 'Others.' | 122 |
| Edward Furlong | But I'm not like sad, depressed miserable person. I guess sometimes I give off that impression. | 122 |
| Jonathan Winters | My mother and father were very strange people. They tried to be funny which is always very sad to me. | 122 |
| Juliette Binoche | I've never thought of my characters as being sad. On the contrary, they are full of life. They didn't choose tragedy. Tragedy chose them. | 122 |
| Sylvia Browne | It's so sad: anything that has to do with God, people want to dispel. | 122 |
| George Whitefield | Among the many reasons assignable for the sad decay of true Christianity, perhaps the neglecting to assemble ourselves together, in religious societies, may not be one of the least. | 123 |
| Gillian Jacobs | I think that there are a lot of really beautiful Christmas carols, and then sometimes there are horrible renditions of them that are played to death in malls that make me sad. I try to avoid stores where they're playing bad versions of Christmas songs on repeat. | 123 |
| Thomas Carlyle | Wondrous is the strength of cheerfulness, and its power of endurance - the cheerful man will do more in the same time, will do it; better, will preserve it longer, than the sad or sullen. | 123 |
| Dario Argento | It's incredible that they censor films. It's sad. | 123 |
| Christine Baranski | I'm sad to say that stardom is a commodity in our culture. | 123 |
| Marcia Gay Harden | In my kids' school, the married family is an anomaly... which I do think is sad. I do believe in marriage. | 123 |
| Jim Sensenbrenner | In a sad twist of fate, the bill to reauthorize the Patriot Act was debated on the floor of the House of Representatives the same day that terrorists struck again. | 123 |
| Jackie Kennedy | What is sad for women of my generation is that they weren't supposed to work if they had families. What were they going to do when the children are grown - watch the raindrops coming down the window pane? | 124 |
| Isabel Gillies | Sometimes it makes me sad that I didn't get to have one family for my entire life. | 124 |
| Patricia Polacco | I don't know if my work is a concerted effort to make kids sad! But life and death go hand in hand. It's our condition as human beings. | 124 |
| Paul Feig | Wearing a tuxedo isn't as simple as it sounds. I've been to a lot of award shows in Hollywood over the years and have seen some pretty sad tuxes. It's surprisingly easy to go off the rails. | 124 |
| Shirley Temple | I guess I was an early method actress. I would go to a quiet part of the sound stage with my mother. I wouldn't think of anything sad, I would just make my mind a blank. In a minute I could cry. | 124 |
| Youssou N'Dour | I look at my people, and I look at those who control them - the political elite. And the sad thing is that the elites are just not interested in the welfare of the people. | 124 |
| Bruce Forsyth | It's sad when you see most of your friends in the business gone, like Tommy Cooper, Frankie Howard, Eric Morecambe, Roy Castle, Les Dawson. They were very dear to me. You no longer have the chance to bump into them at a celebrity do. | 124 |
| Jesse L. Martin | Teaching is a truly noble profession. It's sad the amount of responsibility that teachers have today. They're not only teaching kids: they're raising kids, policing kids - and they don't make a lot of money. | 124 |
| Neil Cavuto | It's sad that we have become so accustomed to bad service that we're shocked when we get good service. | 124 |
| Romola Garai | It's a sad fact that a lot of those countries who haven't been involved in the war in Iraq have taken far more responsibility for rehoming people displaced by the war than Britain has done. | 124 |
| Suzy Menkes | There is something sad about clothes laid in a tomb of trunks. | 124 |
| Henry David Thoreau | Make the most of your regrets; never smother your sorrow, but tend and cherish it till it comes to have a separate and integral interest. To regret deeply is to live afresh. | 125 |
| Aaliyah | It's really a sad story, and I liked that. The songs on this album talk about relationships in every aspect. | 125 |
| Andie MacDowell | For me, it's sad to say, but I would probably have a spiritual marriage but not a legal marriage, because I think so much about marriage starts to become about finances. It has nothing to do with God or feelings or the romantic side of marriage. It's about who owns what, who gets what? So what's the point? | 125 |
| Lucinda Williams | Just because I'm talking about something that might have been a sad or painful situation doesn't mean that I'm sad or tortured 24 hours a day any more than anybody else is. | 125 |
| William S. Burroughs | In deep sadness there is no place for sentimentality. | 125 |
| Bjorn Ulvaeus | The music of ABBA is not that happy. It might sound happy, in some strange way, but deep within, it's not happy music. It has that Nordic melancholic feeling to it. What fools you is the girls' voices. You know, I do think that is one of the secrets about ABBA. Even when we were really quite sad, we always sounded jubilant. | 125 |
| Jackie Joyner-Kersee | I do not take steroids. I never have. It's sad to me that people want to point fingers. I don't do that. That's not me. I wouldn't feel like a human being. | 125 |
| Ella Henderson | It sounds a bit sad, but my new hobby is knitting. I love it. I find it really relaxing. | 125 |
| Rick Danko | You put a song on the record or on tape and you stop singing it. You just don't sit around and sing it anymore unless you're performing. That's kind of sad. | 125 |
| Anna Torv | In film, you can have sad endings. | 125 |
| Sherilyn Fenn | I've always been drawn to Marilyn Monroe, but certain aspects of her story may be too sad to tell. | 125 |
| Jane Goodall | The tree I had in the garden as a child, my beech tree, I used to climb up there and spend hours. I took my homework up there, my books, I went up there if I was sad, and it just felt very good to be up there among the green leaves and the birds and the sky. | 126 |
| Ellie Goulding | Even when I'm in quite a happy state of mind, I like writing really sad songs. I think a lot of people do. | 126 |
| Harlan Coben | You can't have an up without a down, a right without a left, a back without a front - or a happy without a sad. | 126 |
| Kendall Jenner | I think social media has taken over for our generation. It's a big part of our lives, and it's kind of sad. | 126 |
| Pete Townshend | Even modern English people are imperious, superior, ridden by class. All of the hypocrisy and the difficulties that are endemic in being British also make it an incredibly fertile place culturally. A brilliant place to live. Sad but true. | 126 |
| Umberto Eco | Musical compositions can be very sad - Chopin - but you have the pleasure of this sadness. The cheap consolation is: you will be happy. The higher consolation is the pleasure and recognition of your unhappiness, the pleasure of having recognised that fate, destiny and life are such as they are and so you reach a higher form of consciousness. | 126 |
| Juan Williams | The 2012 presidential campaign's turn away from the classic, straight-up, American election - where the candidate who gets the most votes nationwide wins - is another sad reminder of the extreme political polarization distorting today's politics. No one talks about a 50-state strategy for winning the presidency these days. | 126 |
| Steve Lacy | You have to sound sad first of all, then maybe later you can sound good. | 126 |
| Jim Capaldi | This was an important part of my life. But it was also sad that we didn't play there, cause we had such alot of fans that were waiting for us and Brazilians are great people. It's now my second home. | 126 |
| George Eliot | There is no despair so absolute as that which comes with the first moments of our first great sorrow, when we have not yet known what it is to have suffered and be healed, to have despaired and have recovered hope. | 201 |
| Joseph Campbell | Participate joyfully in the sorrows of the world. We cannot cure the world of sorrows, but we can choose to live in joy. | 201 |
| Ben Whishaw | Even today, England is a very repressed, repressive country, and there's pressure to be kind of a certain way, so people do things that ultimately make them sad. | 201 |
| Billie Jean King | Women get the attention when we get into the men's arena, and that's sad. | 201 |
| Demi Lovato | I get mad. I get sad. I have all those emotions. But I just like to keep them to myself. I don't think my fans need to be bothered with if I'm mad or sad about something. I should just be concerned that they are keeping up with my music or I'm making them happy with my show. | 201 |
| Francesca Annis | The funny thing is I'm not bothered or sad about being on my own - after all I've never had a husband. | 201 |
| Germaine Greer | Women are reputed never to be disgusted. The sad fact is that they often are, but not with men; following the lead of men, they are most often disgusted with themselves. | 201 |
| Isabel Allende | I was such a sullen, angry, sad kid. I'm sure there are writers who have had happy childhoods, but what are you going to write about? No ghosts, no fear. I'm very happy that I had an unhappy and uncomfortable childhood. | 201 |
| Monica Crowley | Nixon has enough to overcome in terms of his legacy and his political history. Now he has to overcome the in-fighting between his daughters. It's so sad. There's another obstacle for him to clear. | 201 |
| Neil Armstrong | NASA has been one of the most successful public investments in motivating students to do well and achieve all they can achieve. It's sad that we are turning the programme in a direction where it will reduce the amount of motivation and stimulation it provides to young people. | 201 |
| Nita Ambani | Every day, when I am working with my boys, I tell them as long as you put in your best efforts, I am there to back you. But the day I find your energy flagging on the field, the day I find you have not put in your best, that's when I will be really upset and sad. | 201 |
| Catherine Zeta-Jones | I allow myself to not feel the need to be some sort of wonder woman. You can't do everything at once and tear your hair out when you miss your baby using a potty for the first time, although my son was obviously very sad that his mum was not there on his big day. | 201 |
| Helen Clark | Well in the end the world can crank itself up to sanctions, as it has with Zimbabwe, another sad case. | 201 |
| Bre Pettis | What I like on Kickstarter is when I see real innovation and I see people building something new. It makes me sad when I see things that are just the same technology; you aren't passing the technology forward. | 201 |
| Denis O'Hare | I was a fan of 'Six Feet Under' and was very sad when it ended, so I was not ready to switch my allegiance to another show. So I was like, 'I'm not watching this 'True Blood.' Then a friend got a bootleg copy of the first four episodes, and by the third one, I was irrevocably hooked. | 201 |
| Margaret Chan | New diseases like SARS and bird flu cause anxiety in the community. People get worried, some to the extent that it even affects their health. You feel very sad, and yet you must carry on and maintain your cool in very trying and difficult moments. You have to tough it out. | 201 |
| John Eldredge | We don't live in the Garden. We live far from Eden. Every life is full of heartaches. Every life, frankly, is unspeakably sad. | 201 |
| Marc Maron | I'm sad to see the passing of the great drug warriors. I certainly did my part in that battle and I don't regret any of it. | 201 |
| Alanis Morissette | We're taught to be ashamed of confusion, anger, fear and sadness, and to me they're of equal value to happiness, excitement and inspiration. | 202 |
| Helena Bonham Carter | I was sad that Corpse Bride was so short. I would've liked to have had her around for way longer. She doesn't actually have that many scenes. | 202 |
| Kapil Dev | I feel that World Cup cricket should be played like football in which all the 160 countries take part. If only a handful of countries are going to keep on playing in the World Cup without making the game popular, I will be a sad man. | 202 |
| Kara Walker | As a child, I was subjected to a lot of spaghetti Westerns and hated them. I wanted the Indians to win - or just not be so sad! | 202 |
| Stella McCartney | I'm incredibly sad that my mother's not here to see my kids and that my kids don't get to know her. And she didn't meet my husband. That's one of the hardest things. I don't even know how to put that into words. | 202 |
| Twiggy | I am very sad that some designers are still using real fur when the fake alternatives are so effective and so easily obtainable. | 202 |
| Josh Lucas | Wrap parties can be really sad, actually, disorienting. | 202 |
| Patty Hearst | But now Americans, they felt a sense of peace and protection because they've been separated by so many thousands of miles of ocean. And you know, the fact that it's come to the U.S. like this is so sad, and yet you know, what can you do? It's here. | 202 |
| Dianna Agron | It's really sad looking at people like Lindsay Lohan. She's an amazing actress, but you see what happens when people know too much about your personal life. They start not being able to look at you the same way professionally. I don't want that to happen to me. | 202 |
| Jonathan Davis | I've been on Prozac for 12 years and I'm off it now. I know what it feels like to be excited and sad again. I haven't felt like this in 12 years; I'm like a giddy little kid. | 202 |
| Audrey Hepburn | If my world were to cave in tomorrow, I would look back on all the pleasures, excitements and worthwhilenesses I have been lucky enough to have had. Not the sadness, not my miscarriages or my father leaving home, but the joy of everything else. It will have been enough. | 203 |
| Anne Sullivan | We all like stories that make us cry. It's so nice to feel sad when you've nothing in particular to feel sad about. | 203 |
| Carolina Herrera | I love books; my suitcases are always full of them. Books and shoes. I read when I am sad, when I am happy, when I am nervous. My favourite British author is Jane Austen, and my favourite American one is John O'Hara. | 203 |
| Emma Watson | I've always been fascinated by Elizabeth Taylor, and I had read that her first kiss happened on a film set, which actually made me a little sad. You need to have normal experiences of your own. | 203 |
| Eric Holder | Saturdays and Sundays, America in the year 2009 does not in some ways differ significantly from the country that existed almost 50 years ago. This is truly sad. | 203 |
| Hugh Hefner | The whole 1950s notion was find the right girl, get married, move to the suburbs and then hang out with the guys while she stayed home with the babies. I felt that was sort of sad. | 203 |
| Logan Pearsall Smith | The old know what they want; the young are sad and bewildered. | 203 |
| Robin S. Sharma | No one wants to fail. So most of us don't even try. Sad. We don't even take that first step to improve our health or to deepen our working relationships or to realize a dream. | 203 |
| Emily Mortimer | 51st State was one that I loved doing because the character was so out there, and in a way I was sad to leave the character behind. I'm afraid I could never be that cool in real life! | 203 |
| Kristen Schaal | You go from nobody looking at you to people taking second looks. I remember really loving it - and then feeling so guilty for loving it. Like, 'That's gross, Kristen.' Also, telling myself it could go away at any moment, and I'd be so sad. | 203 |
| Patti LaBelle | I'm so grounded, it's sad. | 203 |
| Rainn Wilson | Dwight is a sad clown. You've seen those paintings of sad clown. | 203 |
| St. Vincent | Life can be challenging and sad... but music is the easy part. | 203 |
| Beth Ditto | I love sad songs. They say so much. I love country music but even the happy songs sound really sad. | 204 |
| E. B. White | When I was a child people simply looked about them and were moderately happy; today they peer beyond the seven seas, bury themselves waist deep in tidings, and by and large what they see and hear makes them unutterably sad. | 204 |
| Ludwig van Beethoven | The true artist is not proud: he unfortunately sees that art has no limits; he feels darkly how far he is from the goal, and though he may be admired by others, he is sad not to have reached that point to which his better genius only appears as a distant, guiding sun. | 204 |
| Robbie Williams | You've got a beautiful country with so many beautiful people and so many beautiful things happening and stuff like that lets it down. I feel sad for them. | 204 |
| Bow Wow | It's sad that my daughter will get attention because of her daddy. I'm already watching her run around the house and pick up microphones. It's scary. | 204 |
| Dylan McDermott | Nowadays you really have to pump out that blockbuster in order to have the luxury of getting a body of work, and that's sad because the work suffers. Today everything is based on money. The older actors, they inspire me. | 204 |
| Susan Isaacs | For a novelist, no matter what, it's a complete work, even if it's not published. But if you write a screenplay, and it's not performed, then it's a sad and frustrating experience. | 204 |
| Emma Goldman | To the indefinite, uncertain mind of the American radical the most contradictory ideas and methods are possible. The result is a sad chaos in the radical movement, a sort of intellectual hash, which has neither taste nor character. | 205 |
| Rose Kennedy | My greatest regret is not having gone to Wellesley College. it is something I have felt a little sad about my whole life. | 205 |
| Bryan Adams | I feel quite sad for the young musicians coming up because they may never get to pay their rent properly. It doesn't matter what the genre; nowadays, it's so much harder than it ever was. | 205 |
| Lea Thompson | My beauty secret is to try to keep my heart as open and happy as I can, because it really makes the sad lines on my face look better. | 205 |
| Leonard Mlodinow | Listeners instinctively detect that when we lower the usual pitch of our voice, we are sad, and when we raise it, we are angry or fearful. | 205 |
| Dave Barry | I would not know how I am supposed to feel about many stories if not for the fact that the TV news personalities make sad faces for sad stories and happy faces for happy stories. | 206 |
| Ariana Grande | I always knew that St. Jude was an amazing organization but meeting the kids and seeing how the hospital works first hand was truly beautiful. It doesn't feel like a regular hospital all dreary and sad. It's a colorful, beautiful, comfortable, fun place to live and the energy is wonderful. | 206 |
| Kate Christensen | I've cooked plenty of meals when I was sad, lonely, depressed, angry, bored, and/or under the weather. My primary aim in these circumstances is generally to cheer myself up, to fill my stomach with something warm so I can feel comforted and fed, usually just with a quick soup or an omelet. | 206 |
| Olly Murs | If people are paying money to see me, then I want them to walk away from the show knowing they had a really great time. I want it to be very energetic and to have fun, sad, emotional and uplifting moments. I want it to have everything! | 206 |
| Dakota Fanning | I never get scared making these kinds of movies because it's all make-believe, but I did cry when I saw the finished version of Man On Fire because it is so sad. | 206 |
| Graham Moore | Depression is internal. The upswings and downswings have pretty much nothing to do with what's going on in the external world. It's not like something sad happens to you and then you feel sad. Good things happen, but you feel sad anyway. | 206 |
| Theodore Bikel | It's a sad thing to contemplate, but I'm the last surviving cast member of 'The African Queen.' | 206 |
| Jerry Della Femina | Sad to say, negative advertising really works. | 206 |
| John Lydon | These days young kids don't have any place to form an epic adventure. It's more often in front of the TV screen or a laptop. That's very hard on them. They're being taught daily unsocial skills. Facebook is an unsocial skill. It's so sad. | 207 |
| Alice Walker | Creation is a sustained period of bliss, even though the subject can still be very sad. Because there's the triumph of coming through and understanding that you have, and that you did it the way only you could do it. You didn't do it the way somebody told you to do it. | 207 |
| Gene Wilder | I had a daughter and lost her a long while ago. That's too sad a story to go into. | 207 |
| Willie Nelson | A lot of country music is sad. I think most art comes out of poverty and hard times. It applies to music. Three chords and the truth - that's what a country song is. There is a lot of heartache in the world. | 207 |
| Winona Ryder | It's an indication of how cynical our society has become that any kind of love story with a sad theme is automatically ridiculed as sentimental junk. | 207 |
| Ann Richards | Well, you know, too much democracy is a sort of sad thing. | 207 |
| Brandon Stanton | I think everyone feels alone in their sadness, and there's a certain value to hearing other people's sad stories. | 207 |
| Joss Stone | It's sad that people listen to music and decide how the singer should look. | 207 |
| Helen Keller | I seldom think about my limitations, and they never make me sad. Perhaps there is just a touch of yearning at times; but it is vague, like a breeze among flowers. | 208 |
| Sylvia Plath | I have the choice of being constantly active and happy or introspectively passive and sad. | 208 |
| Patton Oswalt | I've had some pretty good arguments with people, but I've never regretted it. I've had people come up where it's all emotion and no fact. That's always sad. | 208 |
| Anthony Browne | A lot of my characters are underdogs or sad or lonely, but I had a comfortable, golden sort of childhood. | 208 |
| Asif Kapadia | The big thing for me is to make films that you feel, whether you feel happy, whether you feel sad, whether you feel sick; it's to make the audience feel so that the next day they remember what they saw. | 208 |
| Claire Tomalin | I always feel sad when I come to the end of a book. | 208 |
| Dakota Fanning | I like everything perfect. Everything has to be neat. My sister is 5, and she's more messy than I am. I make my bed every morning, everything's perfect. My shoes are all arranged. It's sad. I'm a little like Ray, a little bit. | 208 |
| Johnny Vegas | You get people who come to London, sever links with where they come from, and then when they need people, there's nobody there. To feel like you can't go back home would be a horribly sad place to be, as is mistaking fame for genuine love and affection. | 208 |
| Lea Thompson | Cyndi Lauper's 'Time After Time' was a perfect song. It was so beautiful and so heartfelt. Her vocals were so amazing. And, for me, that was a song I went to when I was feeling sad and wanted to feel even sadder. | 208 |
| Mandy Moore | It's important to get well-rounded right off the bat. A lot of experienced dancers can get pigeonholed into one thing. I've been hired for a lot of different gigs simply because I can do a lot of different things with different levels of dancers. And it's sad to me that some dancers don't do more. | 208 |
| Sally Mann | Death makes us sad, but it can also make us feel more alive. | 208 |
| Shelby Lynne | I think a lot of people think that my parents' deaths is why I write such sad songs, but that's not true. Those songs may just be the woman I am. | 208 |
| Leo Buscaglia | Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow, it only saps today of its joy. | 209 |
| Mattie Stepanek | Poetry is a beautiful way of expressing feelings - happy, sad, angry, caring. It's also a way that we share with other people, to help them with those feelings. | 209 |
| John Hughes | I so desperately hate to end these movies that the first thing I do when I'm done is write another one. Then I don't feel sad about having to leave and everybody going away. That's why I tend to work with the same people; I really befriend them. | 209 |
| Shirley Manson | My solo album is dead and buried. We had the funeral. It was sad and I cried a lot but it made such a beautiful corpse that we had an open casket. | 209 |
| M. J. Rose | I think Paris smells not just sweet but melancholy and curious, sometimes sad but always enticing and seductive. She's a city for the all senses, for artists and writers and musicians and dreamers, for fantasies, for long walks and wine and lovers and, yes, for mysteries. | 209 |
| Jamie xx | When I go in the studio, I put myself into a place where I'm feeling something I want to portray, which is often being sad, lonely. But as soon as I'm starting to make something, it's when I'm the happiest. Ever. I think that comes out at the same time, so there's that juxtaposition. | 209 |
| W. H. Auden | It's a sad fact about our culture that a poet can earn much more money writing or talking about his art than he can by practicing it. | 210 |
| Angelina Jolie | 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. | 210 |
| Christian Louboutin | I was born in Paris in the mid-1960s, and by the time I was 12 I had started going to the movies by myself. Most of the movies of that period never appealed to me. I didn't like the 'naturalism,' the sad or the 'down-to-earth' characters. What I wanted from film was fantasy, dreams, funny situations, extravagant decor - and beautiful women. | 210 |
| Deepika Padukone | Being sad and being depressed are two different things. Also, people going through depression don't look so, while someone sad will look sad. The most common reaction is, 'How can you be depressed? You have everything going for you. You are the supposed number one heroine and have a plush home, car, movies... What else do you want?' | 210 |
| Eric Holder | It's a sad indication of where Washington has come, where policy differences almost necessarily become questions of integrity. I came to Washington in the late '70s, and people had the ability in the past to have intense policy differences but didn't feel the need to question the other person's character. | 210 |
| Olly Murs | I'm not going to do a song that's really sad and thoughtful. Although I've done ballads like 'Dear Darlin',' I want to make them dance and be happy. | 210 |
| Lee Child | It's always sad if anybody you know has a personal problem. | 210 |
| Margaret Heffernan | One of the sad truths about leadership is that, the higher up the ladder you travel, the less you know. | 210 |
| Michael Dirda | It's a sad commentary on our time - to use a phrase much favored by my late father - that people increasingly celebrate Christmas Day by going to the movies. | 210 |
| Rob Sheffield | In their heyday, the Pet Shop Boys were the Interpol of the Eighties, dressing up to sing really weird pop songs about lust and loneliness in the big city. They're low-pro now, not retro-worshipped in the manner of Depeche Mode, New Order, or The Cure, but you can hear the reason why - these guys are too sad. | 210 |
| Robert Casey | However, we might oppose it, abortion is a sad feature of modern life. | 210 |
| Thomas Gibson | I am an optimist, and I try to think that the light will always prevail in any situation, so it doesn't really make me sad about humanity because I think, deep down, everybody is full of love and light. | 210 |
| Sania Mirza | I think people tend to forget that as celebrities we are still human. We have the same emotions - we cry, we have fun, we laugh, we get sad, and we get hurt. When something is written about you, which millions of people are reading, and it is not true, imagine how hurtful it can be. | 210 |
| Bertolt Brecht | Poverty makes you sad as well as wise. | 211 |
| Horace | Sad people dislike the happy, and the happy the sad; the quick thinking the sedate, and the careless the busy and industrious. | 211 |
| Noel Gallagher | It's a sad state when more people retweet than buy records. | 211 |
| Dan Savage | My dad was a homicide cop in the gay neighborhood in the city when gay neighborhoods were desperate, depressing, sad places run by the mob. The only gay people he'd met when I came out to him were corpses. | 211 |
| Jerry Saltz | A sad fact of life lately at the Museum of Modern Art is that when it comes to group shows of contemporary painting from the collection, the bar has been set pretty low. | 211 |
| Michael Greger | Everyone feels sad occasionally. A full range of emotions is part of what makes us human. | 211 |
| Julie Burchill | I am firmly of the opinion that women who make a lot of effort to hang onto their looks in middle age (unless they are beauties, entertainers or prostitutes) are rather sad, as one should surely have something more substantial to recommend one by this time, such as kindness or cleverness. | 211 |
| James Mercer | Life is sad. People, you know, are going to pass, and you know that you will one day. | 211 |
| David Bailey | All pictures are unnatural. All pictures are sad because they're about dead people. Paintings you don't think of in a special time or with a specific event. With photos I always think I'm looking at something dead. | 212 |
| Henry Adams | The Indian Summer of life should be a little sunny and a little sad, like the season, and infinite in wealth and depth of tone, but never hustled. | 212 |
| Katee Sackhoff | The sad thing is, I never wanted to be Princess Leia - I always wanted to be Han Solo! | 212 |
| Natalie Imbruglia | Divorce was very sad, obviously, but now I've gotten over it. | 212 |
| Yani Tseng | At that time, I feel sad, and I feel no one knows how hard I work and how many tears. They only know the score. At that time, I feel very lonely because no one understands since they haven't been world No. 1 before. | 212 |
| Jeremy Corbyn | Tony Benn and I were very close, very close friends for 30, 40 years. We talked to each other a great deal, and we were great friends. And I was with him shortly before he died, talking about prospects of the world and prospects for peace. And I'm very sad that he's gone. | 212 |
| Rebecca Ferguson | I can't watch my first audition because it makes me too upset. I just think it is really sad. I look at myself and don't recognize myself. I do think fame and fortune changes people. | 212 |
| Henry Ward Beecher | In this world, full often, our joys are only the tender shadows which our sorrows cast. | 213 |
| John C. Calhoun | I know that there is a great diversity of opinion as to who, in fact, pays the duties on imports. I do not intend to discuss that point. We of the staple and exporting States have long settled the question for ourselves, almost unanimously, from sad experience. | 213 |
| Miuccia Prada | When I design and wonder what the point is, I think of someone having a bad time in their life. Maybe they are sad and they wake up and put on something I have made and it makes them feel just a bit better. So, in that sense, fashion is a little help in the life of a person. But only a little. | 213 |
| Nikki Sixx | I love Starbucks. Maybe that's a bit sad. But I definitely need my caffeine. It's what gets me out of bed in the morning. | 213 |
| Jason Mraz | I always think of the live show first, where the song is gonna go in the show. That's why they aren't sad songs. When I play, I want to make people happy, not sad. It's such a pleasure for me to do what I do, and I want other people to feel some form of that pleasure, too. | 213 |
| Larry Hagman | I was sad to see anybody leave, we had a very nice family on that show. I was very sad to see momma go, Victoria and especially Linda. My god that was my wife on the show, in fact my wife calls her wife. | 213 |
| Tamra Davis | I had all these tapes in my closet that I had shot years ago with my friend Jean-Michel Basquiat. I was working on a film about him when he died, and then I just put everything away. It was too sad. | 213 |
| Alexa Vega | I get to play characters that kind of shock people and I enjoy doing that. I like characters that have meaning and get people in the heart. I want to be able to get people to cry or make people angry or sad. | 213 |
| Jane Siberry | 'The Taxi Ride,' from my second album, is one people want to hear a lot. I'm consciously trying to walk on the sunny side of the street, to really lift myself into a place of greater positivity, and that's a sad song. | 213 |
| Rachel Stevens | Ideally, I would love to mix singing and acting, but you can only be a pop star for so many years. I mean, at 30 it's a little bit sad, right? | 213 |
| Andie MacDowell | I can usually tell when a woman is going through a divorce because they look so gaunt and tired and sad. It's just a huge sadness. It's horrible. It's like death. You mourn, but the person's still there. | 214 |
| Beth Ditto | When I moved out of my mom's house at 18 I was almost as sad to leave her sewing machine behind as anything else. | 214 |
| Cate Blanchett | I think about my father and how sad it was that he never had grandchildren. | 214 |
| Henry Rollins | It's sad when someone you know becomes someone you knew. | 215 |
| Nicolas Roeg | A lot of my movies have come to be thought about only years after the fact, and I'm sad about that but also happy about it in a way, as it's given them longevity. | 215 |
| Olga Kurylenko | Being single is only sad if you have a problem with your own company. I'm content with mine. | 215 |
| John James Audubon | If I can procure three hundred good substantial names of persons, or bodies, or institutions, I cannot fail to do well for my family, although I must abandon my life to its success, and undergo many sad perplexities and perhaps never see again my own beloved America. | 215 |
| Blythe Danner | For a woman who's a widow and pretty much a loner, I can walk out, and I'm surrounded by NYU kids. The energy jumps off the sidewalks, and I never feel sad or bored. | 215 |
| Margot Kidder | With any group of people in life, sad things happen, and crazy things, and happy things. When you're in the public eye, it's just amplified, that's all. | 215 |
| Ellen DeGeneres | I was raised in an atmosphere of 'everything's fine.' But as I got older, I was like, 'Well no, everything's not fine. There is stuff that's sad.' I am a really sensitive person. I think I am too sensitive sometimes. | 216 |
| Frank Gehry | My father was an urchin that lived in Hell's Kitchen. He was part of a family of nine. I mean, there were times that were better and worse, but mostly, by the time we got to L.A., they'd lost whatever they had. And it was a sad time. And both he and I became truck drivers for different companies. | 216 |
| Jennifer Aniston | It's sad, something coming to an end. It cracks you open, in a way - cracks you open to feeling. | 216 |
| Kelly Clarkson | The question I love to get asked is: 'What's the hardest part of your job?' And literally, the answer is probably real sad, but it's to just to be me. Like, it's really hard, because I think people, you know, have a set idea of what a pop star should be. | 216 |
| Matt Groening | When DVDs finally disappear, I'm going to be sad. I'll miss the commentaries. | 216 |
| Taylor Lautner | It's very rare that things are true about yourself that are on the Internet. It's just sad sometimes. So you definitely try and stay away from it as much as possible. | 216 |
| Eminem | I was going to McDonald's and Taco Bell every day. The kids behind the counter knew me - it wouldn't even faze them. Or I'd sit up at Denny's or Big Boy and just eat by myself. It was sad. I got so heavy that people started to not recognize me. | 217 |
| William Blake | Can I see another's woe, and not be in sorrow too? Can I see another's grief, and not seek for kind relief? | 217 |
| Ezra Taft Benson | If a man does not control his temper, it is a sad admission that he is not in control of his thoughts. | 217 |
| Louis Farrakhan | If we don't make earnest moves toward real solutions, then each day we move one day closer to revolution and anarchy in this country. This is the sad, and yet potentially joyous, state of America. | 217 |
| Mindy Kaling | I would love to be married. But it's not a necessity like the way that I feel I need and want to have children. It would be wonderful to have a husband, and I would feel blessed to do it. But I would feel sad for the rest of my life if I had no kids. | 217 |
| Steve Wozniak | Atari is a very sad story. | 217 |
| T. C. Boyle | I've never really been met with indifference, where they say, 'Who cares?' I think that's what good art is supposed to do. It's not supposed to make you feel good about your own prejudices and your own values; it's supposed to open you up in some way and get you outraged or make you happy or make you sad or whatever it's going to do. | 218 |
| Julie Burchill | No matter how old and glorious the models, sad indeed is the woman who sees fashion as a means of self-expression rather than an agent of social control. | 218 |
| Hilary Duff | So many schools are getting rid of music programs and it's really sad because I know that when I started singing and stuff it was something that I always wanted to do and I never believed in myself to be able to do it. | 219 |
| Pete Townshend | It's sad when people break up. | 219 |
| Doug Ducey | It's a sad day when Republicans will attack fellow Republicans on an issue as fundamental as free enterprise. | 219 |
| Martin Rees | Scientists habitually moan that the public doesn't understand them. But they complain too much: public ignorance isn't peculiar to science. It's sad if some citizens can't tell a proton from a protein. But it's equally sad if they're ignorant of their nation's history, can't speak a second language, or can't find Venezuela or Syria on a map. | 219 |
| Leo Buscaglia | When we sit at the table, there is more going on than satisfying hunger. It is sad to think of those who eat simply to satisfy their hunger and who do not permit themselves to linger under the many spells offered by a good meal - the satisfaction of our hearts, our minds and our spirits. | 220 |
| bell hooks | What's really sad is that so many young women between the ages of 16 and 25 are ignorant and they already believe that women get the same pay as men. They don't even really understand that equality hasn't happened with the pay force. | 220 |
| Cornel West | When you socially neglect a people, when you economically abandon a people, when you transfer wealth from them to the well-to-do, what are a people going to do? They're going to respond with very sad forms of despair, and that's true for everybody - I don't care what color you are. | 220 |
| Elizabeth Gilbert | You know, why at the end of your life should you assemble thousands of pages of 'Why am I so sad, why am I so depressed?' Instead, assemble thousands of pages of why you're so content. | 220 |
| Henry Louis Gates | The sad truth is that without complex business partnerships between African elites and European traders and commercial agents, the slave trade to the New World would have been impossible, at least on the scale it occurred. | 220 |
| Marjane Satrapi | I like to be sad once in a while. You need it for your equilibrium. | 220 |
| Zoe Saldana | I think as an American society, when we're paying too many taxes or dealing with war, we don't want to see sad things at the movies. | 220 |
| Janet Jackson | People tend to put entertainers on pedestals. We're human beings, just like you. You may see us smiling, and whether we have money or not, we still have bills to pay, we still have our stresses. I think a lot of people want to focus on others' shortcomings to make themselves feel better. And it's a very sad thing. | 220 |
| Jamie Foxx | Nobody wants to hear R&B. It's sad. If you want to be on the radio you got to stay young. | 220 |
| Michael Sheen | Stories have always been the things that entertain me and make me feel happy and sad and move me and give me the experience of being able to live many lives in one lifetime. It's the best thing about being alive. | 220 |
| Daniel Craig | Being on your own would be sad, sick and weird. I don't trust myself. I need that balance. | 221 |
| Nancy Pelosi | We're sad about some of the losses of members of great seniority and distinction in the Congress, and some very new members, who will no longer be serving with us. | 221 |
| Nick Nolte | You're playing a role, but you're still feeling it. You can walk away from it after 'Cut,' but if you're playing a sad or mixed-up person, it's hard to stay in that place for these longish period of times. You kind of have to check out. | 221 |
| Patricia Heaton | I've found that people feel very free to say insulting things, not about me personally, but about the things I believe. It's sad, because I really could care less where people are coming from, politically, religiously. | 221 |
| Amish Tripathi | At the outset, I think that one should be natural, not just when it comes to writing but in every area of life. If you try to be something that you are not just to impress others, then it's a rather sad life. | 221 |
| Buzz Aldrin | NASA's been one of the most successful public investments in motivating students to do well and achieve all they can achieve, and it's sad that we are turning the program in a direction where it will reduce the amount of motivation it provides to young people. | 222 |
| Gilbert Gottfried | I was the class podiatrist. I never made it to class clown. I wasn't funny enough. I would examine feet and prescribe and ointment. It was a sad childhood. | 222 |
| Kate Christensen | Eating by myself in my own apartment, single and alone again for the first time in many years, I should have felt, but did not feel, sad. Because I had taken the trouble to make myself a real dinner, I felt nurtured and cared for, if only by myself. Eating alone was freeing, too; I didn't have to make conversation. | 222 |
| Kevin Spacey | I find it sad that by not talking about who I sleep with, that makes me mysterious. There was a time when I would have been called a gentleman. | 222 |
| Joan Collins | The sad truth is that most of my husbands turned out to be convincing liars. | 222 |
| Pierre Teilhard de Chardin | We have but one permanent home: heaven - that's still the old truth that we always have to re-learn - and it's only through the impact of sad experiences that we assimilate it. | 223 |
| Halle Berry | I'm not sad at all about turning 40. | 223 |
| Mary J. Blige | I remember a time when all my fans were crying and sad and going through hell. Now, we're trying to uplift each other and accept ourselves for who we are, even if nobody else does. | 223 |
| Olivia Wilde | Fear of carbs, of gluten, of everything - we've distanced ourselves from the beauty of food, the art of it. It makes me sad when people say, 'Oh, I don't eat gluten. I don't eat cheese. I don't eat this. So I eat cardboard.' | 223 |
| Mary Gaitskill | A sad person who is so involved with his sadness that he mistakes it for reality will have a hard time seeing himself as anything but sad. For him, the sadness is not a feeling that he experiences - it is him. | 223 |
| Jim Lehrer | I've traveled around the country and I read local newspapers and all of that, and it's a sad, sad thing to go from city to city and see the small newspapers and they're tiny. They're tiny not only in size but also in scope. | 223 |
| Douglas Brinkley | One thing 'not right' on the 50th anniversary of the Selma marches is the sad fact that the Edmund Pettus Bridge hasn't been renamed the John Lewis Bridge. | 224 |
| Gene Wilder | I know a lot of sad people who aren't comedians. | 224 |
| Lena Headey | I'm sad I'm not in 'The Purge 2.' | 224 |
| Janice Dickinson | But you see, that's the gilded prison of fashion. We're riding in private jets, and meantime I was so incredibly, painfully sad and lonely. | 224 |
| Mary Lambert | I don't think of my songs as sad songs. I think of them as vulnerable and honest. I crack jokes in between songs, so people don't leave feeling too dark. | 224 |
| Deepak Chopra | There are receptors to these molecules in your immune system, in your gut and in your heart. So when you say, 'I have a gut feeling' or 'my heart is sad' or 'I am bursting with joy,' you're not speaking metaphorically. You're speaking literally. | 225 |
| Eduardo Galeano | The history of soccer is a sad voyage from beauty to duty. When the sport became an industry, the beauty that blossoms from the joy of play got torn out by its very roots. | 225 |
| Fiona Apple | I was told so many times when I was a kid, 'I can't be friends with you, you're too intense, you're too sad all the time.' I really thought that when I made the first album that everyone would understand me, all the people who weren't my friends would become my friends. | 225 |
| Paul Dano | Homeless people really upset me when I was little. A lot of kids have this reaction, but I would get really worried or sad or concerned or cry. | 225 |
| Peter Hook | The rise of the iPod meant that digital music became the norm, It's sad, but you can still find the real stuff out there if you look for it! | 225 |
| Rebecca Ferguson | It's sad really, I think 'Freedom' would've done better, but it got shelved because of the pregnancy, so it might be something that might get revisited in the future; who knows? | 225 |
| Jo Brand | People say you should read your criticism because it will make you a better person but it doesn't. It just makes you a sad bitter old showbiz nightmare. | 226 |
| Lynn Coady | It's kind of sad, the way we've turned the entertainment of reading into a kind of psychic broccoli - something to feel guilty about if you don't force it on your face-making children while dutifully consuming a few token florets yourself. | 226 |
| Marina Abramovic | I was friends with Susan Sontag the last four years of her life. She had this amazing charisma and so much energy, but she had a sad little funeral in Montparnasse in Paris. It was rainy. It was all wrong. And I was thinking, 'God, she loved life so much.' | 226 |
| Regina Brett | It's sad that grandkids show up at the end of obituaries, way behind the list of work place achievements, social clubs and survivors. Why last? If you've got grandkids, you know they're first when it comes to the joy in your life. | 226 |
| Dario Argento | For a long time, censors have been cutting my works. This makes me so sad, because many times they will tell me, 'Television won't like, so we have to cut, cut, cut!' | 226 |
| Robin Williams | My style is bad white-boy dancing. I can do swing a little bit, but nothing beyond that. My solo dancing is sad. I use my arms, badly. | 301 |
| Hugo Chavez | It makes one sad to see the sell-out of President Fox; really, it makes one sad. How sad that the president of a people like the Mexicans lets himself become the puppy dog of the empire. | 301 |
| Lake Bell | What I think is sad about the rom-com genre is that it has adopted this pejorative title. I think the reason why there haven't been as many great ones is because we are fighting against the genre itself. If it is a romantic comedy then snuggle up to the fact that it can be a really earnest, refreshing feeling to feel good after a movie. | 301 |
| Martin Parr | For those aspiring to make a living from travel photography, it's a sad fact that the boring shots are the shots that are going to make you money. | 301 |
| Ciara | It's sad how people want to see us females go against each other. Never been for that. Never will. | 302 |
| Diane Kruger | What I really tried to do with Helen was make her show this sad side of her. She was married off at 16, was so young and living in this castle that can't leave because of how she looks, and married to a man she hates and three times her age. | 302 |
| Jean Cocteau | I have a piece of great and sad news to tell you: I am dead. | 302 |
| Lauren Conrad | The first series I wrote, 'L.A. Candy,' was always meant to be a three-book series, so when I started out it was all outlined that way and by the time I was done with the third book, I had become so involved and the process and the stories, I was a little bit sad to be done. | 302 |
| Chelsea Handler | E! has just become a sad, sad place to live. They don't know what they're doing; they have no ideas... everything they do just is a failure. | 302 |
| Rivers Cuomo | I meditate an hour in the morning and an hour in the evening. Once a year I go away for a long retreat. And overall, I just feel more comfortable in my own skin and less anxious, less sad, less fearful. | 302 |
| Amy Adams | I probably never would have been hired on Broadway had I not moved out to L.A. and pursued acting and film, which is sad, really. | 303 |
| Martin Rees | It would be sad if the expertise built up during the 40 years of the U.S. and Russian manned programmes were allowed to dissipate. But abandoning the shuttle, and committing to new launch vehicles and propulsion systems, is actually a prerequisite for a vibrant manned programme. | 303 |
| Mohsin Hamid | Like many of my friends in the Pakistani diaspora - and many of my friends in Pakistan itself, for that matter - I have sometimes looked at the country of my birth and wondered whether its future will be one of steady and sad decline. | 303 |
| John Darnielle | Metal isn't necessarily aggressive. There's metal that's contemplative, there's metal that's sad, and there's metal that's exuberant. No genre is limited in what it can express. | 303 |
| L'Wren Scott | I've never met a woman who thinks they've got a good enough figure - however perfect they look - which is sad, because no one else can see these perceived flaws; they're entirely internal. | 304 |
| Scott Walker | It's sad to think right now, but probably the Russian and Chinese government know more about Hillary Clinton's e-mail server than do the members of the United States Congress. And - and that has put our national security at risk. | 304 |
| Boris Johnson | It would be a sad day if we British stopped being cynical, but you sometimes wonder whether we overdo it. | 305 |
| Gia Coppola | When I went to college, my mum was really sad, so she preserved my bedroom, like a weird time capsule. | 306 |
| Zac Brown | I always thought it was sad that you couldn't get anything really good to eat at concerts, so we sit down with our fans before every show and eat a gourmet meal that we made for them. | 306 |
| Charles Baudelaire | Our religion is itself profoundly sad - a religion of universal anguish, and one which, because of its very catholicity, grants full liberty to the individual and asks no better than to be celebrated in each man's own language - so long as he knows anguish and is a painter. | 307 |
| F. Sionil Jose | I write entirely in English; Tagalog chauvinists chide me for this. I feel no guilt in doing so. But I am sad that I cannot write in my native Ilokano. History demanded this; if it isn't English I am using now, I would most probably be writing in Spanish like Rizal, or even German or Japanese. | 307 |
| Iris Apfel | Fashion really is women's liberation in a lot of ways. Look at how many women in this country are depressed about how they look and how they think they have to look! It's really sad. And it's not about money. | 308 |
| Marlee Matlin | Humor comes in all forms, and everyone has their cup of tea about what makes them laugh. But the day we censor humor is a sad one for sure. | 308 |
| Nicole Kidman | I think I would be very sad if I wasn't able to have a baby. | 308 |
| P. J. O'Rourke | The problem, when comparing contemporary television to television in 1974, is that TV has become not just bad but sad. | 309 |
| Grace Slick | I find it amusing on one level, poignant on another, when people try to get recognition from an outside source. It's sad. | 309 |
| Nora Ephron | I survived turning 60, I was not thrilled to turn 61, I was less thrilled to turn 62, I didn't much like being 63, I loathed being 64, and I will hate being 65. I don't let on about such things in person; in person, I am cheerful and Pollyanna-ish. But the honest truth is that it's sad to be over 60. | 309 |
| Shania Twain | I'll always be sad that my marriage ended. | 309 |
| Rebecca Ferguson | Women's bodies are amazing; what our bodies can do is incredible, so it's sad that we get distracted - all this stuff about being skinny, be this, be that - they're all distractions. | 309 |
| George Clooney | I was in a bar and I said to a friend, 'You know, we've become those 40-year-old guys we used to look at and say, 'Isn't it sad?' | 311 |
| Letitia Baldrige | Nothing gets on other people's nerves at the office more than a whistler. And the sad part is, these whistlers don't know they're doing it. Someone should, tactfully, tell the whistler how much it disrupts the office environment. | 311 |
| Richard Simmons | Ninety percent of people who lose weight gain it back. It's very sad. | 311 |
| Casey Wilson | Pageants are already ridiculous and sad, I think. | 311 |
| Jordin Sparks | With my schedule being so crazy, I can't call every day or hang out with my friends like I used to and that's definitely sad. | 311 |
| Lucius Annaeus Seneca | The display of grief makes more demands than grief itself. How few men are sad in their own company. | 312 |
| Malcolm X | Being an old farm boy myself, chickens coming home to roost never did make me sad; they've always made me glad. | 312 |
| Christopher Lee | There is something sad about malevolence, to be wicked. I have always tried to make that come across in the villains I have played. | 312 |
| Diane von Furstenberg | I'm not tired of who I am. That would be sad! | 312 |
| Ellie Goulding | 'I Know You Care' is about my dad. And I haven't seen him for a long, long time. And my parents divorced when I was really young. And I guess I just wanted a - it was my way of saying that I wasn't bitter or angry anymore. I was just sad and just felt like something was missing. | 312 |
| Natalie Portman | I don't know who would not classify themselves as a romantic. I think that would be sort of sad. | 312 |
| W. H. Auden | It is a sad fact about our culture that a poet can earn much more money writing or talking about his art than he can by practicing it. | 313 |
| Henry B. Eyring | The sad pattern of lack of trust in God has persisted since the Creation. | 313 |
| Morrissey | The monarchy is foremost a business, and it's important to them that the British public continue to finance the excessive luxurious lifestyles of the now quite enormous, wasteful and useless 'royal' family. I find it very sad. | 313 |
| Damian Lewis | I'm very sad 'Life' wasn't a big hit, But it was undone by politics at NBC. It was intense. I moved my wife, and we had two children back to back. So working those hours and living abroad in L.A. was a handful. But it was a great experience. | 313 |
| Jason Alexander | I started balding at age 17 and after first being sad, I really embraced it. | 313 |
| Francois Hollande | The British people have decided to leave. It is a sad decision but one which I respect. The vote puts the European Union in difficulties. It must recognise its shortfalls. | 314 |
| Willie Nelson | Well the country songs themselves are three-chord stories, ballads which are mostly sad. If you are already feeling sorry for yourself when you listen to them they will take you to an even sadder place. | 314 |
| Lord Byron | Man is born passionate of body, but with an innate though secret tendency to the love of Good in his main-spring of Mind. But God help us all! It is at present a sad jar of atoms. | 315 |
| Martha Beck | Ten years ago, I still feared loss enough to abandon myself in order to keep things stable. I'd smile when I was sad, pretend to like people who appalled me. What I now know is that losses aren't cataclysmic if they teach the heart and soul their natural cycle of breaking and healing. | 315 |
| Pope Francis | 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! | 316 |
| Gore Vidal | That is sad until one recalls how many bad books the world may yet be spared because of the busyness of writers. | 316 |
| Jonathan Kozol | It's sad that some people who have one exciting moment spend the rest of their lives rehashing it. | 316 |
| Jerry Hall | So few people read poetry. That's sad, isn't it? | 316 |
| Mary J. Blige | I just want fans to walk away knowing that no matter what's going on, no matter how happy you are, no matter how sad you are, we did it. We're strong in this. We've come a long way, and life is not just one thing. | 317 |
| Tim O'Brien | Life is never all one thing. It bounces around. Certainly, my own life has. Look at Woody Allen's funny movies - all the humor comes out of sad stuff. Sometimes you have to laugh, no matter what life deals you. | 317 |
| William James | There must be something solemn, serious, and tender about any attitude which we denominate religious. If glad, it must not grin or snicker; if sad, it must not scream or curse. | 318 |
| Gillian Jacobs | I used to like to make myself sad, so I would listen to Bill Callahan as Smog. | 318 |
| Gillian Jacobs | 'Dancing on My Own' is actually a really sad song! It has totally made me cry. | 319 |
| John Lasseter | The hardest thing to get is true emotion. I always believe you need to earn that with the audience. You can't just tell them, 'Ok, be sad now.' | 319 |
| Martin Scorsese | I'm sad to see celluloid go, there's no doubt. But, you know, nitrate went, by the way, in 1971. If you ever saw a nitrate print of a silent film and then saw an acetate print, you'd see a big difference, but nobody remembers anymore. The acetate print is what we have. Maybe. Now it's digital. | 319 |
| Mike McCaul | The sad fact is, because we've had a failed policy and failed leadership, now we're having to rely on Russians and the Iranians to go into Syria to fight and destroy ISIS. | 319 |
| Sophie Ellis-Bextor | I'm a sucker for sad disco pop. | 320 |
| Angelina Jolie | I loved being Maleficent. I was quite sad to put my staff down and put my horns away because somehow, she just lives in a different world. | 321 |
| Isabella Rossellini | There are consequences with age, so you have to evolve. I've loved becoming a filmmaker. But I would love to continue modeling, and there isn't really any job for me. It's being marginalized - that's the sad part. | 321 |
| Marie Helvin | I try to be as positive as I can because I truly believe I am my feelings, and if I'm sad, if I have regrets, they will show up as illnesses, they will show up as cancers... I don't want that. | 321 |
| John Mackey | One of the sad things about retiring is that you just become increasingly irrelevant. The world flows around you, and you don't seem to be impacting it any longer. | 323 |
| Jonathan Safran Foer | There's never been a culture that wasn't obsessed with food. The sort of sad thing is that our obsession is no longer with food, but with the price of food. | 323 |
| Hanya Yanagihara | The first thing many tourists see in Hawaii is concrete - a long dreary stretch of it through landscapes dominated by sad, cheap apartment buildings and almost entirely denuded of plant life. | 324 |
| Michael Dirda | Sad to say, multi-tasking is beyond me. I read one book at a time all the way through. If I'm reviewing the book, I have to write the review before I start reading any other book. I especially hate it when the phone rings and interrupts my train of thought. | 324 |
| Casey Wilson | What I think is funny is when people, despite tragic situations, are still hopeful, still trying. It's sweet and sad - and, to me, hilarious. | 325 |
| John Krasinski | When people ask if I'm going to be sad that 'The Office' is over, they don't even understand the depth of that question for me. It's an era of my life. No one would have known my name if it wasn't for the show. | 325 |
| Dalai Lama | I am sometimes sad when I hear the personal stories of Tibetan refugees who have been tortured or beaten. Some irritation, some anger comes. But it never lasts long. I always try to think at a deeper level, to find ways to console. | 326 |
| Johnny Depp | I was a million percent in love with Edward Scissorhands. I remember looking in the mirror on the last day of shooting... and thinking how sad I was to be saying goodbye to Edward. | 326 |
| John C. Calhoun | 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. | 326 |
| Mark Ruffalo | I love 'The Sportswriter' by Richard Ford. Ford really captures for me the bittersweetness of the quietly suffering American man. It's stoic, sad, and really beautiful. | 401 |
| Chris Squire | Yes's whole career was never really planned in any sort of way. It's always sad when a member leaves, but it's exciting when someone new comes in, and that regenerates the freshness of the band. | 401 |
| Dwight D. Eisenhower | Few women, I fear, have had such reason as I have to think the long sad years of youth were worth living for the sake of middle age. | 402 |
| Christopher Buckley | I live on a train. I know - what a sad thing to admit. I am the New-Age Willy Loman. But there it is. | 402 |
| Henry Rollins | August used to be a sad month for me. As the days went on, the thought of school starting weighed heavily upon my young frame. That, coupled with the oppressive heat and humidity of my native Washington, D.C., only seemed to heighten the misery. | 403 |
| Marco Rubio | The president we have today is a typical Washington politician that's prone to hyperbole and decisiveness and false outrage. And I think it's very sad - very sad to watch. | 403 |
| Ellen DeGeneres | I'm a comedian, and I definitely see the humor in a lot of things. I am also sad a lot. I cry often and easily. I think you're supposed to feel all kinds of things. | 404 |
| Khalil Gibran | 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. | 405 |

| Margaret Cho | I think it is really sad that when people lose their homes they kind of lose their minds too. | 407 |

| Whit Stillman | A very sad moment for me was when my parents separated - a lot of crying, 'It's tragic, we're now a broken family, blah blah blah blah blah' - although my psychological problems stopped. I actually felt healthier. | 407 |
| Hugo Chavez | I will be very sad and worried if the imperialist government was calling me a great democratic man. | 408 |
| Joan Collins | Of course it's true: the public want to see young people - young people are the people who go to the cinema. It's a sad fact of life, but you've got to accept it and not whine about it. | 408 |
| Solange Knowles | It's so sad, actually, how teachers and parents tell their kids, 'You're never gonna be anything.' | 409 |
| Ban Ki-moon | It is a sad but undeniable reality that people have died in the line of duty since the earliest days of the United Nations. The first was Ole Bakke, a Norwegian member of the United Nations guard detachment, shot and killed in Palestine in 1948. The toll since then has included colleagues at all levels. | 410 |
| Daniel Craig | I've got to be high class... Which is sad, because I like bars. | 411 |
| Elizabeth Edwards | A lot of sad stories in a row - that wears on you. | 412 |
| Lilly Singh | The sad reality is that girl-on-girl hate is such a big issue in schools, at work, or online, and it never made any sense to me because, as women, we know how awesome other women can be. | 412 |
| Danny Meyer | It is sad that the more 'successful' a neighborhood becomes, the more it gradually takes on a recognizable, common look, as the same banks, drugstore chains and national brands move in. | 414 |
| Octavia Spencer | If you go through life, and you don't find the beauty in an unexpected place, then you really have a sad existence. | 414 |
| D. H. Lawrence | They say geniuses mostly have great mothers. They mostly have sad fates. | 416 |
| Jennifer Aniston | It's sad, something coming to an end. It cracks you open, in a way - cracks you open to feeling. When you try to avoid the pain, it creates greater pain. | 416 |
| Douglas Coupland | Christmas makes everything twice as sad. | 417 |
| Salma Hayek | For my wrap present, Colin Farrell gave me a first edition book. I got so involved with this character and I was so sad when the movie was over that when I got home and I tried to read the book I got really emotional and I started crying. | 418 |
| Adam Lambert | Los Angeles can be a really sad city. | 419 |
| Megan Fox | I can cook, but I also want everything to look beautiful on the plate - then I get upset when people eat it. Everyone just tears through it, and that makes me sad. It's not a rewarding experience for me to cook. | 419 |
| Voltaire | He who is not just is severe, he who is not wise is sad. | 420 |
| Hugh Grant | Frankly, I think I'm marvelous in rehearsal! Then you turn the camera on, and it gets stiff and tight. And then you trudge back to your trailer feeling sad. That's been my experience of film acting. | 420 |
| Moby | When I was growing up, albums were my closest friends, as sad as that may sound - Joy Division's 'Closer,' or Echo and the Bunnymen's 'Heaven Up Here'... I had a more intimate relationship with those records than I did with most of the people in my life. | 420 |
| Tracy Morgan | I'm a human being. I feel all emotions. I'm not just happy all the time. Sometimes, I'm sad and feel the blues. Sometimes I even want to feel the blues. Sometimes, you want to feel down. | 421 |
| Kaley Cuoco | It's hard to tell what an entire series is going to be based on the first few episodes, or even on the first season. And it's sad because you see great casts and good ideas that don't get that opportunity to grow and show what it could turn into. | 422 |
| Adam Driver | I don't consider myself a celebrity. That would be kind of sad. | 422 |
| Ansel Elgort | 'The Fault in Our Stars' is a beautiful film that's really positive. The second half gets sad, but it's always positive. | 424 |
| Robert Kiyosaki | Over a 10-year period, 99 out of 100 new entrepreneurs will fail. Only one will be left standing as others get pushed out of the market or burn out from working so hard. It's really sad. | 426 |
| Ansel Elgort | My thing with fans is, it's always about being really good to them and taking the time to take every picture. If there are 300 people, you should take 300 pictures - you shouldn't take 250 because then fifty people will go home sad. Why would you do that? | 504 |
| Gretchen Rubin | Whenever I start a new book, I think, 'This is the most interesting subject of all time. It's sad, I'll never enjoy writing another book as much as I enjoy this one.' Every time, I'm convinced. And then I change my mind when I start the next book. | 505 |
| William Shatner | When I did the film Generations, in which the character died, I felt like a guest for the first time. That made me very sad. | 506 |

| Shakira | If it was up to me, I would just wear jeans and t-shirts, even to red carpets, but then no one would photograph me, so that would make me very sad. So you know, I've gotta keep up with the rest of the female population and sometimes try a little harder. | 516 |
| Michael Keaton | I still really like newspapers. I'm gonna feel really sad when they go. Or not - maybe I'll be dead. | 523 |
| Lady Gaga | Fashion is that thing that saved me from being sad. | 525 |
| Shakira | I never made it to the school choir because the music teacher didn't like my voice. I was pretty sad. But he was probably right; I did have a voice a bit like a goat, but my dad told me to never give up and to keep going, and it's paid off. | 609 |
| Pierce Brosnan | Cancer is a very sad thing, but you can always take something from every experience. | 611 |
