You see guys going up to girls in bars and saying, 'Oh, can I show you a trick?' It's a tool. I find it kind of sad; it breaks my heart a little bit. They should try to use their own personalities. It sort of smacks of using magic as a crutch, which is not what it should be. Keith Barry

In this world, full often, our joys are only the tender shadows which our sorrows cast. Henry Ward Beecher

For I have learned to look on nature, not as in the hour of thoughtless youth, but hearing oftentimes the still, sad music of humanity. William Wordsworth

One day, I was at my grandmother's house, and I found diaries that she kept as a young girl. I opened one to a page that had flowers glued inside.

Laura Amy Schlitz

I love sad songs. They say so much. I love country music but even the happy songs sound really sad. Beth Ditto

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. Caitlin Rose

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? Andie MacDowell

You mustn't smile when you lose. You have to be sad like other people. You have to win every game. Eden Hazard

I don't sit down to write a funny story. Every single thing I sit down to write is meant to be sad. Lorrie Moore

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.

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. Shilpa Shetty

When I was starting out, I saw it as something that was definitely going to end. Every time I came to New York for fashion week or to interview someone, I was so sad going back home because I thought, 'These things don't get to last.' That's sort of the narrative of young success. Tavi Gevinson

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. Arne Jacobsen

It's sad that we never get trained to leave assumptions behind. Sebastian Thrun

Music videos are notoriously long, not fun, grueling.

Jenna Dewan

I got interested in reading very early, because a story was read to me, by Hans Christian Andersen, which was 'The Little Mermaid,' and I don't know if you remember 'The Little Mermaid,' but it's dreadfully sad. The little mermaid falls in love with this prince, but she cannot marry him because she is a mermaid. Alice Munro

I do feel a bit dejected about my film career. I am sad that it didn't take off as expected. I didn't get my due as an actor. I have an attractive personality and good looks. But I don't know what went wrong? You need to stop thinking about such things and move on. Karishma Tanna

The sad truth is that most of my husbands turned out to be convincing liars. Joan Collins

I have learned so much from India: for instance, the use of aloe vera, which I use, and I find it sad when I see certain arts of oiling slowly fading away. Nargis Fakhri

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. John Lydon

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.

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. Zara Larsson

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. Fiona Apple

Tears are the summer showers to the soul. Alfred Austin

It's a sad indication of where Washington has come, where policy differences almost necessarily become questions of integrity.

Nothing is more sad than the death of an illusion. Arthur Koestler

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.

It's always sad if anybody you know has a personal problem. Lee Child

It makes me sad there is still some intellectual snobbery out there. Steve Easterbrook

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.

A lot of actors try to sabotage other actors, and that's sad because then you're never going to get that beautiful scene. Erica Durance

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. Lilly Singh

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. Mac Davis

It's sad, something coming to an end. It cracks you open, in a way - cracks you open to feeling. Jennifer Aniston

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. Alexa Vega

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. Deepak Chopra

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

Dick Costolo

You have to really understand that although certain memories or stories make you sad, you are not sad. Pull yourself out from that emotion and remember that. Rupi Kaur

Yuval Noah Harari

When we sit at the table, there is more going on than satisfying hunger.

This is a sick business. It's so sad. Sia

I think that when you make yourself vulnerable, the thing that you do next is better. It's not like you have to inflict pain on yourself in order to make yourself better, but I think it helps.

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.

So few people read poetry. That's sad, isn't it? Jerry Hall

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. Shaquille O'Neal

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. Alan Jackson

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.

Most organizations don't fall apart as a result of one big blow. Most relationships don't end because of one grand argument. Most lives don't fall to pieces due to one sad event.

The flesh, alas, is sad, and I have read all the books. Stephane Mallarme

We never taste a perfect joy; our happiest successes are mixed with sadness. Pierre Corneille

Musical compositions can be very sad - Chopin - but you have the pleasure of this sadness. The cheap consolation is: you will be happy.

Umberto Eco

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. Claude Debussy

I guess it's sad that anybody, regardless of profession, that they're in this country, would take a shot at our military. Jeff Fisher

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? Ansel Elgort

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. Josh Hopkins

Los Angeles can be a really sad city. Adam Lambert

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. Amish Tripathi

It's important to get well-rounded right off the bat. A lot of experienced dancers can get pigeonholed into one thing.

Whether it's something happy or sad, I like to share everything with my mother. Karishma Tanna

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. Marlee Matlin

Never make a decision when you are upset, sad, jealous or in love. Mario Teguh

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.

Women's emotions are constantly labeled. Any slight deviation from 'pleasantness,' and we are labeled as hysterical. When we are angry, sad, depressed, or manic, we are immediately seen as unfeminine or ugly or weak. Petra Collins

I like to be able to feel as many parts of myself while watching a movie at one time. I think that's what 'Super' is - it's funny, but it's also sad. It's very touching in certain ways, and it's also got a very dark sense of humor. So it's allowed to go anywhere. James Gunn

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. Pixie Lott

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. Norman Wisdom

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.

Ellen G. White

The day I am not able to fly will be a sad day for me. Ratan Tata

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. Whit Stillman

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.' Allison Tolman

I grew up thinking that it's okay to be sad, angry, and express your emotions. I have also banged doors and fought, as I have seen my mom do that when she would fight with my dad. Everything that I've learnt is from them, so I've never struggled to express myself. Alia Bhatt

I'm convinced part of the reason I got signed is because of who I am, and it makes me sad. Jeff Buckley

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. Scott Walker

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. Emma Watson

Well, you can't be depressed and sad 24 hours a day. Julia Sweeney

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. Mattie Stepanek

A marriage is no amusement but a solemn act, and generally a sad one. Queen Victoria

My mother was very, very beautiful, and I saw that the beautiful women around me were often constrained not only by their beauty but by the way that being an object of male desire frequently caused violence in their lives. And it caused them to be constrained in these terribly sad ways - their brilliance was not valued. Emil Ferris

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. Elizabeth Wurtzel

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? Henry Louis Gates

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. Suzanne Somers

The sad truth is that most evil is done by people who never make up their minds to be good or evil. Hannah Arendt

I can't grow a mustache. It's pretty sad if I attempt to. Ashton Kutcher

The lack of women directors is a sad fact of life. Kathryn Bigelow's thrilling Best Director win may help turn things around. Lynda Obst

The sad fact is that it would be fair to say that United is a generic, bureaucratic, tired company. A sort of DMV in the sky. No real culture. No real strategy. No real expectations for employees or customers. All of which is a shame. Patrick Lencioni

The excursion is the same when you go looking for your sorrow as when you go looking for your joy. Eudora Welty

When I do see a picture of myself that has been touched up too much, I do get a bit sad... it makes me look like a hypocrite. It breaks my heart. I would rather shoot a magazine and shoot my flaws, but that's not up to me. Kendra Wilkinson

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. Alice Waters

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. Kevin Bacon

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. Chiara Ferragni

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. Matthew Gray Gubler

I remembered myself as an unpopular and rather sad kid. Sydney Pollack

Sometimes what we call tragedy, at least in the theater, are really case histories.

That's what the catharsis is. Derek Walcott

It is sad to grow old but nice to ripen. Brigitte Bardot

The good times of today, are the sad thoughts of tomorrow. Bob Marley

I wish she hadn't had to make that sacrifice, even if it was for the benefit of my father and siblings and me. Marlo Thomas

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. Sania Mirza

I was a little boy singing sad songs, about 9 or 10 years old in the woods. I listened to my voice coming back to me. It was as high as you could go. I dreamed of being famous as a singer when I was on those cotton fields. I wanted to see the world and meet people. Percy Sledge

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. Jeremy Corbyn

When I design and wonder what the point is, I think of someone having a bad time in their life.

Miuccia Prada

Atari is a very sad story. Steve Wozniak

The second was a chance encounter forty years ago with none other than, ahem, Charles Manson! Andrew Gross

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. Thomas Carlyle

'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. Jane Siberry

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. Slavoj Zizek

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. Francoise Hardy

Fortune has played me a sad trick by letting me live on and on. Belle Boyd

It's sad how people want to see us females go against each other. Never been for that. Never will. Ciara

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.
