“Yes, I have four children. Four children with whom I spend a good part of every day: bathing them, combing their hair, sitting with them while they do their homework, holding them while they weep their tragic tears. But I'm not in love with any of them. I am in love with my husband.” ChildrenFourTearsHairHusbandSittingOur ChildrenTragicMy HusbandHomeworkBathing Author:Ayelet Waldman

“I haven't a clue about the biology or the psychology involved when a person dissolves into tears, but it is quite fascinating to note what turns them on. There are wives who can cascade over a late husband or a burned dinner, and equally pour tears of joy over a new bonnet or a renovated bathroom.... A while ago I took a ship back from Europe. Amid the tumbling confetti ... I found myself misty-eyed watching a young lady waving a tearful farewell to her boyfriend on the dock. I couldn't figure out if I was crying at her plight, or in delight that he wasn't coming along with us.” IfsPersonsYoungJoyTurnsFoundPsychologyWifeHavensCryFiguresTearsInvolvedSorrowHusbandLateEuropeNotesDelightDinnerShipsFascinatingBiologyBurnedClueFarewellBathroomPlightYoung LadiesMistyDocksTumblingCascadeBonnetsConfettiTears Of Joy Author:Malcolm Forbes
“We mourn; we sorrow for our loved ones that go - our wives, our husbands, our children, our parents; we sorrow for them; and it is well and proper that we should moum for them and shed tears for the loss, for it is our loss; but it is their gain, for it is in the march of progress, advancement and development. It will be all right when our time comes, when we have finished our work and accomplished what the Lord required of us.” ShouldWellsChildrenSoulParentLossLordWifeProgressTearsDevelopmentSorrowHusbandGainsOur ChildrenFinishedOur TimeAccomplishedMarchLoved OnesShedAdvancementMourn Author:Francis M.

“How baffling it was that even the most cunning and clever people would frequently see only what they wanted to see, and would rarely look beyond the thinnest of facades. Or they would ignore reality, dismissing it as the facade. And then, when their whole world fell to pieces...they would tear their topknots or rend their clothes and bewail their karma, blaming gods or kami or luck or their lords or husbands or vassals-anything or anyone-but never themselves.” PeopleWorldLooksWholeRealityWantedLordPiecesTearsHusbandClothesBlameLuckKarmaCleverWhole WorldCunningFacade Book:SHOGUN Source: SHOGUN
“I would like to say in defense of the Christian religion that there are nice things about it. There really are. And Marilyn can tear up the Bible all he wants and I understand why, but... there's good things in the Bible. Good things. Like about, you know, not killing people, and... you know... not sleeping with people's husbands.” PeopleKnowsWantChristianSleepNiceTearsHusbandGood ThingsKillingDefenseNice ThingsNot Sleeping Author:Courtney Love
“I think that all journalists, specifically print journalists, have a responsibility to educate the public. When you handle a culture's intellectual property, like journalists do, you have a responsibility not to tear it down, but to raise it up. The depiction of rap and of hip-hop culture in the media is one that needs more of a responsible approach from journalists. We need more 30-year-old journalists. We need more journalists who have children, who have families and wives or husbands, those kinds of journalists. And then you'll get a different depiction of hip-hop and rap music.” ThinkingKindChildrenDifferentCultureResponsibilityWifeTearsHusbandIntellectualResponsiblePropertyRapJournalistPrintEducateIntellectual PropertyRap Music Author:KRS-One

“Does a soldier go to war in order to kill the enemy? no, he goes in order to die for his country. Does a wife want to show her husband how happy she is? no, she wants him to see how she suffers in order to make him happy Does the husband go to work thinking he will find personal fulfillment there? no, he is giving his sweat and tears for the good of the family And so it goes on: sons give up their dreams to please their parents, parents give up their lives in order to please their children; pain and suffering are used to justify the one thing that should bring only LOVE.” ThinkingWantGivingShouldChildrenDoeWarCountryShowsDreamPainUsedSufferingOrderDiesParentEnemyWifeOne ThingTearsSonGoes OnPleaseHusbandGiving UpSoldierFulfillmentJustifySweatOnly LoveWant HimPain And SufferingSweat And TearsPersonal Fulfillment Author:Paulo Coelho
