Popular quotes about Crying! Wisdom and inspiration are here! | page 172
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.

It induces similar feelings in ourselves which we dare not express and it evokes a resonance in our own bodies which we resist.

Elliott SmithGetting down on all fours and imitating a rhinoceros stops babies from crying. (Put an empty cigarette pack on your nose for a horn and make loud "snort" noises.)

If you're a parent, acting like a rhino has another advantage. Keep it up until the kid is a teenager and he definitely won't have his friends hanging around your house all the time.

Ben E. KingEveryone was at Martin Freemanโs house, and Martin was there and his wife was sat at his feet and Amanda [Abbington, Freemanโs wife] was crying and so was I and I tried to laugh it off but that turned into this enormous sob in front of everyone and I just thought, oh brilliant.

Fantastic.

I don't know if it was technically sex because I just beat off on her face, but definitely one of my most intense orgasms.

Gabrielle ZevinAs an American I must say I haven't been very encouraged by the way in which the people who run the government in the United States have been listening to those contrary voices.
