“I don’t believe that the public knows what it wants; this is the conclusion that I have drawn from my career.
Quote by -Charlie Chaplin
All my pictures are built around the idea of getting in trouble and so giving me the chance to be desperately serious in my attempt to appear as a normal little gentleman.”
Quote by -Charlie Chaplin
“My pain may be the reason for somebody’s laugh. But my laugh must never be the reason for somebody’s pain.
Quote by -Charlie Chaplin
“It is a sad thing to think of, but there is no doubt that genius lasts longer than beauty. That accounts for the fact that we all take such pains to over-educate ourselves. In the wild struggle for existence, we want to have something that endures, and so we fill our minds with rubbish and facts, in the silly hope of keeping our place. The thoroughly well-informed man--that is the modern ideal. And the mind of the thoroughly well-informed man is a dreadful thing. It is like a bric-a-brac shop, all monsters and dust, with everything priced above its proper value.”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
“It is a sad truth, but we have lost the faculty of giving lovely names to things. ”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
"Clap an extinguisher upon your irony if you are unhappily blessed with a vein of it."
Quote by -Charles Lamb
"Sorrow is the rust of the soul and activity will cleanse and brighten it."
Quote by -Samuel Johnson
"Sorrow is a kind of rust of the soul, which every new idea contributes in its passage to scour away. It is the putrefaction of stagnant life, and is remedied by exercise and motion."
Quote by -Samuel Johnson
"Englishmen rarely cry, except under the pressure of the acutest grief; whereas in some parts of the Continent the men shed tears much more readily and freely."
Quote by -Charles Darwin
"I wish to weep but sorrow is stupid. I wish to believe but belief is a graveyard."
Quote by -Charles Bukowski
"I drive around the streets an inch away from weeping, ashamed of my sentimentality and possible love."
Quote by -Charles Bukowski
"The study of beauty is a duel in which the artist cries out in terror before being vanquished."
Quote by -Charles Baudelaire
"Every time Wimbledon is on, I am thinking, 'Yes, I could do the same and get out the racket.' Sadly, not the same results."
Quote by -Kate Middleton
"She did not know why she was sad, but because of this peculiar sadness, she began to realize she ought to leave the town."
Quote by -Carson McCullers
"He nearly always put his hand on his friend's arm and looked for a second into his face before leaving him."
Quote by -Carson McCullers
"I got to wear blinders all the time so I won't think sideways or in the past."
Quote by -Carson McCullers
"It was like she was so empty there wasn't even a feeling or thought in her."
Quote by -Carson McCullers
"Sometimes this fellow's music was like little colored pieces of crystal candy, and other times it was the softest, saddest thing she had ever imagined about."
Quote by -Ben Carson
"I loved the Kennedy Center Honors because you just sit there, smile, wave, and cry."
Quote by -Carol Burnett
"I hate committing myself to anything. It's probably the lack of discipline, honestly. I'm probably a spoiled brat worried about getting my way every time."
Quote by -Cameron Diaz
"I love to cry. It's such a great release. If I'm just tired - jetlagged, I didn't get any sleep, I want to cry. I think it's important to cry."
Quote by -Cameron Diaz
“The question of desirable grief and pain or the necessity for it must also be faced. [Are] growth and self-fulfillment possible at all without pain and grief and sorrow and turmoil? If grief and pain are sometimes necessary for growth of the person, then we must learn not to protect people from them automatically as if they were always bad. Not allowing people to go through their pain, and protecting them from it, may turn out to be a kind of overprotection, which in turn implies a certain lack of respect for the integrity and the intrinsic nature and the future development of the individual.”
Quote by -Abraham Maslow
Nobody but a Southerner knows the wrenching rinsing sadness of the cities of the North.
Quote by -Walker Percy
In deep sadness there is no place for sentimentality. It is as final as the mountains: a fact. There it is. When you realize it you cannot complain.
Quote by -William Seward
With 'Ed Wood,' I sobbed. With 'Frankenweenie,' I was crying. With 'Edward Scissorhands,' I always cry. There's always an incredible amount of purity, even if they look a certain way.
Quote by -Winona Ryder
I like crying. And now I not only wanna cry and show my crying to other people, I wanna just split myself down the middle and open my guts and just throw everything out!
Quote by -Woody Harrelson
The Ladies Buddenbrook from Breite Strasse did not weep, however - it was not their custom. Their faces, a little less caustic than usual at least, expressed a gentle satisfaction at death's impartiality.
Quote by -Thomas Mann
I'm sad for adults who want to be children. And children who want to be adults.
Quote by -Tim Allen
