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.

For all sad words of tongue and pen, The saddest are these, 'It might have been'.

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.

In deep sadness there is no place for sentimentality.

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