“ Crying does not indicate that you are weak. Since birth, it has always been a sign that you are alive. ”
“ Sadness suits me. I savor it the way some people savor good food. Sleep or sadness, it’s all the same to me. Come get me. Like an ocean hungry to lap you up. ”
Sandra Cisneros in Caramelo (via xicanariot)
“ Every man has his secret sorrows which the world knows not; and often times we call a man cold when he is only sad. ”
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
“ She was a genius of sadness, immersing herself in it, separating its numerous strands, appreciating its subtle nuances. She was a prism through which sadness could be divided into its infinite spectrum. ”
Jonathan Safran Foer (via emptieds)
“ I’ve always had a terrible weakness for beautiful but sad things. ”
Sylvain Reynard (via kavachai)
“ Remember, one who enjoys more is bound to suffer more because he becomes very sensitive. But suffering is not bad. If you understand it rightly, suffering is a cleansing. If you understand it rightly, sadness has a depth to it which no happiness can ever have. A person who is simply happy is always superficial. A person who has not known sorrow and has not known sadness, has not known the depths. He has not touched the bottom of his being; he has remained just on the periphery. One has to move within these two banks. Within these two banks flows the river. ”
Osho (via nirvikalpa)
