Sad Quotes
Grief, empathy, and the quiet weight of tears.
These sad quotes move from a claim that art keeps people from sinking into despair, to a sharp comparison between Hollywood's social hierarchy and high school cliques. One entry reflects on how personal experience shapes character writing, while another makes a moving case that tears are a sign of strength rather than weakness. See Poems for more on this feeling in verse.

I'm one of those sad cases who've never wanted to be anything but a writer. I started writing my first novel when I was five years old.

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.
