“When the world was half a thousand years younger all events had much sharper outlines than now. The distance between sadness and joy, between good and bad fortune, seemed to be much greater than for us; every experience had that degree of directness and absoluteness which joy and sadness still have in the mind of a child” WorldYearsMindChildrenStillsJoyHalfHistoryGreaterSadnessEventsThousandDegreesDistanceFortuneThousand YearsGood And BadOutlinesBad FortuneJoy And Sadness Author:Johan Huizinga

“The Z’s will kill us all, and then the Z’s will die out and in sixty years there will be no one to remember our silly war, Caroline’s wasted ammunition, my year of zombic survivalism, Rene DesCartes’s musings, or Michelangelo’s sculptures. And that is really only the sadness here as I drink a thousand-dollar bottle of wine down here in the cellar: We did a few things worth remembering, and I wish for someone to remember them.” YearsWarRememberDiesWishSadnessDrinkThousandWineDollarsSillyBottlesSixtySculptureCellarsMusingsAmmunitionBottles Of Wine Author:John Green
“I wonder from these thousand of "me's", which one am I? Listen to my cry, do not drown my voice I am completely filled with the thought of you. Don't lay broken glass on my path I will crush it into dust. I am nothing, just a mirror in the palm of your hand, reflecting your kindness, your sadness, your anger. If you were a blade of grass or a tiny flower I will pitch my tent in your shadow. Only your presence revives my withered heart. You are the candle that lights the whole world and I am an empty vessel for your light.

“The many-voiced song of the river echoed softly. Siddhartha looked into the river and saw many pictures in the flowing water. The river's voice was sorrowful. It sang with yearning and sadness, flowing towards its goal ... Siddhartha was now listening intently...to this song of a thousand voices ... then the great song of a thousand voices consisted of one word: Om - Perfection ... From that hour Siddhartha ceased to fight against his destiny.” SongFightingGoalVoiceWaterHoursDestinySawsSadnessListeningThousandRainRiversPerfectionYearningOne WordSorrowfulSiddharthaFlowing Water Author:Hermann Hesse
“These are the only two situations possible, and you are in the sad situation. Everybody may know about you - who you are - but you yourself are completely oblivious of your transcendence, of your real nature, of your authentic being. This is the only sadness in life. You can find many excuses, but the real sadness is this: you don't know who you are. How can a person be happy not knowing who he is, not knowing from where he comes, not knowing where he is going? A thousand and one problems arise because of this basic self-ignorance.” KnowsMayPersonsTwoRealSelfProblemSituationKnowingSadnessIgnoranceThousandWho You AreExcuseAriseNot KnowingTranscendenceOblivious Author:Rajneesh
