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 grew up feeling 'less than.' I was the sad, shy child hiding in the hall closet beneath coats. I'd wait for my grandmother's voice to call, 'Jewell, Jewell.' I was lost, waiting to be found. I thought being found, I'd be happier, better. All the while, I read stories. Stories with both truth and lies.
