George, who is out somewhere there in the dark, who is good to me - whom I revile, who can keep learning the games we play as quickly as I can change them. Who can make me happy and I do not wish to be happy. And yes, I do wish to be happy. George and Martha: Sad, sad, sad. Whom I will not forgive for having come to rest; for having seen me and having said: โYes, this will doโ. Who has made the hideous, the hurting, the insulting mistake of lovingโฆ me, and must be punished for it. George and Marthaโฆ Sad, sad, sad.

Sergio AragonesHow sad it was, Carmen thought, that you acted awful when you were desperately sad and hurt and wanted to be loved.

How bitter it felt when you acted badly to everyone and ended up hating yourself the most.
Ann BrasharesThere are two ways to tell the story. Funny or sad. Guys like it funny, with lots of gore and a grin on your face when you get to the end.

Lucy Maud MontgomeryInfatuation is one of those slightly comic illnesses which are at once so undignified and so painful that a nice-minded world does its best to ignore their existence altogether, referring to them only under provocation and then with apology, but, like its more material brother, this boil on the neck of the spirit can hardly be forgotten either by the sufferer or anyone else in his vicinity. The malady is ludicrous, sad, excruciating and, above all, instantly diagnosable.

Corrie Ten BoomWhy does a man cry? he wondered. Not like a woman; not for that. Not for sentiment. A man cries over the loss of something, something alive.

A man, he thought, cries not for the future or the past but for the present.
Philip K. DickI can't write a lie; the world of imagination is no good. I objectively capture my own experiences and those of my friends. I want to put true feelings into words. If I make a song when I'm sad, it's a dark one, but I think that's good. No matter when I want to be true to myself.

Emo PhilipsWhen you improvise on the spot, people are very reluctant to have soft moments or quiet moments or sad moments because they're trying to fill up the spaces.

If you're sitting in coach and hoping for a drink, good luck.
Hope DavisI guess it's going to have to hurt, I guess I'm going to have to cry, And let go of some things I've loved to get to the other side I guess it's going to break me down, Like fallin when you try to fly, Sad but sometimes moving on with the rest of your life starts with goodbye

Ibrahim BabangidaIt is sad to witness the persistence in our society of the racism and xenophobia that seems to be a permanent part of our political culture.

WoodAs the end of the what is called the 'sexual life' the only love which has lasted is the love which has everything, every disappointment, every failure and every betrayal, which has accepted even the sad fact that in the end there is no desire so deep as the simple desire for companionship.
Graham GreeneEvery morning our newspapers could read, 'More than 20,000 people perished yesterday of extreme poverty.' How?

Sadly, sad stories rarely get written.
