I've found, that in between my fits of hyperactivity and impulse hysteria, that I am almost constantly sad.
I've also often found, as many writers/readers/roleplayers may have also found, that as far as sadness goes, there's something liberating about words constructed just the right way. Sometimes it's an uplifting, hopeful quote that makes you see the bright-side, or a melancholic one that doesn't add to your sadness, but reconciles it, helps you come to terms with it for the moment.
What are some poignant quotes that you've found particularly resonant when you're down? Happy quotes? Sad quotes? If you feel comfortable with it, feel free to share why!
For me!:
"We are not idealized wild things.
We are imperfect mortal beings, aware of that mortality even as we push it away, failed by our very complication, so wired that when we mourn our losses we also mourn, for better or for worse, ourselves. As we were. As we are no longer. As we will one day not be at all."
― Joan Didion, The Year of Magical Thinking
"A single person is missing for you, and the whole world is empty."
