Susan AbulhawaWhen an old man and a young man work together, it can make an ugly sight or a pretty one, depending on who's in charge. If the young man's in charge or won't let the old man take over, the young man's brute strength becomes destructive and inefficient, and the old man's intelligence, out of frustration, grows cruel and inefficient. Sometimes the old man forgets that he is old and tries to compete with the young man's strength, and then it's a sad sight. Or the young man forgets that he is young and argues with the old man about how to do the work, and that's a sad sight, too.

Joseph Gordon-LevittBut how to do feelings?

Laurel NakadatePeople always talk about good time rock and roll, Chuck Berry or whatever, like this liberating force for feeling good. But what I need in my life is to be liberated into feeling bad.

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

Elizabeth BergPeter Hinwood found all these old pictures - Polaroids - and when I saw them, I just didn't believe that the person in them was connected with me.

No, it's not sad, it's the reality, and I've accepted this now.

It's part of Satan, I think, to say this is gay. It's anything but gay.

Maureen ChildTelevision is perhaps the greatest medium ever discovered to teach and educate and even to entertain.

Charlaine HarrisNobody's going to do your life for you. You have to do it yourself, whether you're rich or poor, out of money or raking it in, the beneficiary of ridiculous fortune or terrible injustice. And you have to do it no matter what is true. No matter what is hard. No matter what unjust, sad, sucky things befall you. Self-pity is a dead-end road. You make the choice to drive down it. It's up to you to decide to stay parked there or to turn around and drive out.

"My kingdoms?" exclaimed the gentleman in surprize. "Oh, no! This is Scotland!

Yet if you should forget me for a while And afterward remember, do not grieve: For if the darkness and corruption leave A vestige of the thoughts that once I had, Better by far you should forget and smile Than that you should remember and be sad.

Boy GeorgeDid she ever feel nostalgia for any of her girlhood dreams? But life was made up of a succession of dreams, some few to be realized, most to be set aside as time went on, one or two to persist for a lifetime.

Or from the airy dreamers who never really lived life at all.
