My parents' divorce left me with a lot of sadness and pain and acting and especially humour was my way of dealing with all that.

Sadness flies away on the wings of time.

Melancholy and sadness are the start of doubt... doubt is the beginning of despair despair is the cruel beginning of the differing degrees of wickedness.

I can see the humorous side of things and enjoy the fun when it comes but look where I will there seems to me always more sadness than joy in life.

We never taste a perfect joy our happiest successes are mixed with sadness.

In deep sadness there is no place for sentimentality.

One must not let oneself be overwhelmed by sadness.

I've cried and you'd think I'd be better for it but the sadness just sleeps and it stays in my spine the rest of my life.

The walls we build around us to keep sadness out also keeps out the joy.

Sadness is but a wall between two gardens.

The essence of romantic love is that wonderful beginning after which sadness and impossibility may become the rule.

I had no idea that mothering my own child would be so healing to my own sadness from my childhood.

I think often sadness is a great place to get songs from.

I actually think sadness and darkness can be very beautiful and healing.

The sadness of the women's movement is that they don't allow the necessity of love. See I don't personally trust any revolution where love is not allowed.

Bad things do happen how I respond to them defines my character and the quality of my life. I can choose to sit in perpetual sadness immobilized by the gravity of my loss or I can choose to rise from the pain and treasure the most precious gift I have - life itself.

Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. It is far better take things as they come along with patience and equanimity.
