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.

Deep down, I reckon the sweetest moment will come when it's finally all over. When, at last, I know that I can stop fighting. Of course it'll also be a little sad. The sweetest moments, y'know, always come with just a little sadness.
