He who is not just is severe, he who is not wise is sad.
Tears are nature’s lotion for the eyes. The eyes see better for being washed by them.

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.
I think love’s exciting and happy, as well as being able to make you sad.

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.
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.
Actually, the moment of victory is wonderful, but also sad. It means that your trip is ended.
