I’m always happy, Stan. Sadness is for suckers.
When you’re filled with sadness, happy thoughts are what get you through the day.
All sorrows can be borne if you put them in a story.
There is something worse out there than being sad, and that is being alone and being sad.
Sorrow has no hierarchy. Suffering is not a sport. There is no final ranking.
Life is too short for so much sorrow.
You can’t drown sorrow with tears. If you want to erase sorrow, you must burn it.
Work is the best antidote to sorrow.
The way sadness works is one of the strange riddles of the world.
Sadness is a condition of motherhood.
Grief does some weird s*** to people.
There is a profound loneliness in the life of a spinster. It hurts… Whenever you see couples together. You mask the pain with a smile, but you don’t deceive yourself. [to Marian]
