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'd love to have a room full of taxidermy. I'd be devastated if my cat, Archimedes, ever died. I was debating the other day with a friend whether I should stuff him, but don't know whether he would end up looking like himself. I'd be really sad if he looked strange.
