3 December 2020 John Donne As virtuous men pass mildly away, and whisper to their souls to go, whilst some of their sad friends do say, the breath goes now, and some say no.
3 December 2020 Helena Bonham Carter I was sad that Corpse Bride was so short. I would’ve liked to have had her around for way longer. She doesn’t actually have that many scenes.
3 December 2020 Oscar Wilde It is a very sad thing that nowadays there is so little useless information.
3 December 2020 Taraji P. Henson Every human walks around with a certain kind of sadness. They may not wear it on their sleeves, but it’s there if you look deep.
3 December 2020 W. H. Auden It’s a sad fact about our culture that a poet can earn much more money writing or talking about his art than he can by practicing it.
3 December 2020 Jonathan Safran Foer There’s never been a culture that wasn’t obsessed with food. The sort of sad thing is that our obsession is no longer with food, but with the price of food.
3 December 2020 Lisa Kudrow Since I had the baby I can’t tolerate anything violent or sad, I saw the Matrix and I had my eyes closed through a lot of it, though I didn’t need to. I would peek, and then think, oh OK, I can see that.
3 December 2020 Emeli Sande It would be sad if we lost our instinct and our courage to love and protect.
3 December 2020 Eugene O'Neill One should either be sad or joyful. Contentment is a warm sty for eaters and sleepers.
3 December 2020 William Peter Blatty And the sad truth is that nobody wants me to write comedy. The Exorcist not only ended that career, it expunged all memory of its existence.
3 December 2020 Sally Field I think that’s very sad, that I haven’t allowed my heart to be broken. I have broken a few.
3 December 2020 Max Muller Of these years nought remains in memory but the sad feeling that we have advanced and only grown older.
3 December 2020 Conor Oberst They say it’s better to bury your sadness in a graveyard or garden that waits for the spring to wake from its sleep and burst into green.
3 December 2020 David Herbert Lawrence They say geniuses mostly have great mothers. They mostly have sad fates.
3 December 2020 Tony Hancock We try to… we are, I suppose to a certain extent all affected and erm, that is both funny and sad I think.
3 December 2020 Thomas a Kempis What else does anxiety about the future bring you but sorrow upon sorrow?
3 December 2020 Teddy Thompson I love the sad songs with their maudlin, self-deprecating, almost funny lyrics. As an Englishman, they make a lot of sense.
3 December 2020 Mira Nair You know, the sad thing of post-9/11, which was of course horrific, was that the city in which I felt completely at home for two decades, suddenly people like us – brown people – were looked at as the ‘Others.’
3 December 2020 Melissa Leo I mean, the unfair treatment of women and black people and Indians and other groups, that’s real. Mistreatment of other people because ‘I’m better than you are’ is such a sad part of the world.
3 December 2020 Beth Ditto I love sad songs. They say so much. I love country music but even the happy songs sound really sad.
3 December 2020 Kelly McGillis I think it’s sad that movies and television have caused the theatre to fade as a popular art form. I hope to get young people into the theatre and expose them to Shakespeare.
3 December 2020 Andy Kaufman I just want real reactions. I want people to laugh from the gut, be sad from the gut – or get angry from the gut.
3 December 2020 Linda Blair I was so sad from losing two of my dogs and my mother. I had this vision of all these animals sitting behind bars. They had no control and were scared. That’s why I got into fostering and adopting animals out.
3 December 2020 Rowan Atkinson Apart from the fact that your physical ability starts to decline, I also think someone in their fifties being childlike becomes a little sad. You’ve got to be careful.
3 December 2020 Willie Nelson Well the country songs themselves are three-chord stories, ballads which are mostly sad. If you are already feeling sorry for yourself when you listen to them they will take you to an even sadder place.
