But you have to look at what they want out of their lives.
Miriam ShorCities at night, I feel, contain men who cry in their sleep and then say Nothing. It's nothing. Just sad dreams. Or something like that...Swing low in your weep ship, with your tear scans and sob probes, and you would mark them. Women--and they can be wives, lovers, gaunt muses, fat nurses, obsessions, devourers, exes, nemeses--will wake and turn to these men and ask, with female need-to-know, "What is it?" And the men will say, "Nothing. No it isn't anything really. Just sad dreams.
Martin AmisThe Internet seems like a safe house for the opposite mentality, for cynics and for jerks and for people who want to lash out. And it's a valid thing. It's a valid forum and I'm not going say that they aren't valid feelings. But it's sad. Considering the potential that something like the Internet, that connects so many people, has for good. I think it's sad that it's used so often for nothing but unfounded, overzealous negativity.

That very deadened feeling, which is so very different from feeling sad. Sad hurts but it's a healthy feeling. It is a necessary thing to feel. Depression is very different.
J. K. RowlingThere 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.

Are you noisy with quiet times? Or are you quiet with noisy times? Are you happy with some sad days? Or are you sad with some happy days? Are you neat with some sloppy ways? Or are you sloppy with some neat ways? And on and on and on and on and on and on he went. Iโll never ask a zebra about stripes...again.

Felix Gonzalez-TorresA man in trouble laments that he did not listen to his teachers, and thus he finds himself in a sad state, utter ruin.

He believes that others, too, have some truth, and he is willing to be instructed by them. He is ready for the mind of God.

It isn't just the child in a wheelchair or the shut-in senior citizen listening to the radio that needs the game. Thereโs part of us, part of everybody whoโs a baseball fan, who needs the game at that level.

James FrancoIf you're raised in a household where questions are encouraged, you're the minority. It's sad. One of the things that has resonated the most for me is that, in the '50s, if your sex life was unfulfilling, it was your fault, as a woman. It was never the man's fault. Millions of women thought they were working with faulty equipment. If they couldn't have orgasms from having sex with their husbands, then they were broken. That's insane, and everybody believed it.
