Popular quotes about Crying! Wisdom and inspiration are here!
It is a grave injustice to a child or adult to insist that they stop crying. One can comfort a person who is crying which enables him to relax and makes further crying unnecessary; but to humiliate a crying child is to increase his pain, and augment his rigidity. We stop other people from crying because we cannot stand the sounds and movements of their bodies. It threatens our own rigidity. It induces similar feelings in ourselves which we dare not express and it evokes a resonance in our own bodies which we resist.

It shows you are thinking and feeling.

Mel BrooksI am very happy. Extremely, blissfully so. Even in my pain, I'm happy. I like crying. It makes me feel alive.

Not that I'm welcoming tribulation, but I find that it is beneficial.

Penelope LivelyStill, I look down, and the grass is so green, I cannot understand how it does not wither and die with sorrow. But against the emerald carpet, the warriors make war, and it is like a dance, almost beautiful, always macabre.

I had a sordid sense of humor.

I think i laugh because what i really feel like doing, is crying
