I think as an American society, when we're paying too many taxes or dealing with war, we don't want to see sad things at the movies.
— Zoe Saldana
They're not willing to admit that I've also shed blood and tears and often paid dearly for my success. This makes me feel extremely sad.
— Zhang Ziyi
I think my thing is that... I don't know. And that's why I don't wanna sing about 'This is me, this is who I am' because, like, even the question, 'Tell me about yourself' - what are you supposed to say? 'Ooh, I'm a happy girl, but I'm sad, too'? People are so complex.
— Zara Larsson
Even when something sad or tragic happens, I find a way to look at it in a positive light. People who don't have a sense of humor must be so sad all the time.
— Zach Anner
I'm not a singer. In 'Bye Bye Birdie,' I think I was the sad girl who sits on the park bench during 'Put on a Happy Face.'
— Yvonne Strahovski
I've seen a couple white girls coming to my concerts wearing head wraps, and I think they look so cute. It's kind of sad to see that people are really into separation, trying to separate everybody and making a clear division of 'us against you,' even with fashion. That sucks. It's not the way the world is supposed to be.
— Yuna
Experiencing sadness and anger can make you feel more creative, and by being creative, you can get beyond your pain or negativity.
— Yoko Ono
I will not contest my parliamentary seat in a sad election that will not produce a Parliament capable of endorsing a realistic reform agenda for Greece.
— Yanis Varoufakis
What's sad is that we can have a reality-television performer for president without incorporating the other aspects of reality television - like voting and voter engagement.
— Wyatt Cenac
The worst thing I've done while sad is sit in defeat. That's very unhealthy. The best thing to do is dust yourself off and try again.
— Winnie Harlow
It doesn't hurt to feel sad from time to time.
— Willie Nelson
When I did the film Generations, in which the character died, I felt like a guest for the first time. That made me very sad.
— William Shatner
In deep sadness there is no place for sentimentality.
— William S. Burroughs
There must be something solemn, serious, and tender about any attitude which we denominate religious. If glad, it must not grin or snicker; if sad, it must not scream or curse.
— William James
Can I see another's woe, and not be in sorrow too? Can I see another's grief, and not seek for kind relief?
— William Blake
A very sad moment for me was when my parents separated - a lot of crying, 'It's tragic, we're now a broken family, blah blah blah blah blah' - although my psychological problems stopped. I actually felt healthier.
— Whit Stillman
You can't be new for too long. You want to just respectfully disappear. It's a bit sad sometimes. Michael Jordan retired like a god, and then he came back... We don't want to go out like that.
— Watkin Tudor Jones
Hollywood is like a really sad, grown up version of high school where people get labeled as 'cool,' 'not cool,' 'jock,' 'bombshell,' 'quirky'... it's like a caste system. You're either in, or you're out.
— Zoe Kravitz
If you have things that make you sad, express them to other people.
— Zelda Williams
There are a lot of people who consider themselves 'spiritual,' but that can mean a lot of things to a lot of people. I don't really talk about it that often, because there's too much talk in the world. Especially with Christians, there's more proselytizing than there is actual living proof of it. That's kind of sad.
— Zachary Levi
I always thought it was sad that you couldn't get anything really good to eat at concerts, so we sit down with our fans before every show and eat a gourmet meal that we made for them.
— Zac Brown
It's sad that people will invade someone's privacy - and this is not only regarding someone's private photos - but this goes deep into people's financial privacy, their passwords, their emails, their text messages.
I look at my people, and I look at those who control them - the political elite. And the sad thing is that the elites are just not interested in the welfare of the people.
— Youssou N'Dour
With Facebook, you're not really allowed to be unhappy. Think about it: There's only a like button. Yes, you can be angry, but it's only lighthearted rage. On Reddit, perhaps because you can be anonymous, people are willing to be openly sad or angry. They are more honest.
— Yishan Wong
At that time, I feel sad, and I feel no one knows how hard I work and how many tears. They only know the score. At that time, I feel very lonely because no one understands since they haven't been world No. 1 before.
— Yani Tseng
How sad it is that these great gentlemen should believe what anyone tells them and do not choose to judge for themselves! But it is always so.
— Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
It's not a struggle, but sometimes when you're gone for a month or two, you start to miss your friends. I love acting so much that it fills that gap of being sad about not being able to see my friends.
— Willow Shields
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.
I had rather have a fool to make me merry than experience to make me sad and to travel for it too!
— William Shakespeare
The last few years have been my happiest. I'm happy in the years that most people are blue and sad and waiting to die. I don't feel that a bit. Smiling has a lot to do with it. You can just lift your spirits by smiling a little bit.
— William Proxmire
Tears are the natural penalties of pleasure. It is a law that we should pay for all that we enjoy.
— William Gilmore Simms
I'm not really much of a fan of Drake. I don't know why; I'm not really keen on it. His songs just make you think about your ex! I'm more about upbeat songs! His songs are more sad most of the time!
— Wilfried Zaha
With out art, without communicating, we wouldn't live beyond 30 because we'd be so sad and depressed.
— Wayne Coyne
There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition, and of unspeakable love.
— Washington Irving
As a stunt woman, I took it upon myself to be a bit of a jock about it. So you wouldn't see me vulnerable, you wouldn't see me hurting or sad because I was there as a professional to do my job. Nobody likes to see a girl get hurt - that's the truth of it - so I had to put them at ease so they would let me do my job.
— Zoe Bell
My dad constantly tells me I should calm down, but I feel so sad when I see places I've known since I was a child closing. I burst out crying when a local pharmacy closed the other day; it's just going to become a shop that nobody has much of a need for. But I am trying to move with the times.
— Zawe Ashton
I'm a person who likes these sort of movies... sad but moving 'art movies' that normally are at a festival and then they go to a small art house theater and disappear.
— Zach Braff
It does make me sad that there's a lot of great songs out there, and they're not going to see the light of day because they're competing with these tailgate songs.
About 15,000 years ago, humans colonised America, wiping out in the process about 75% of its large mammals. Numerous other species disappeared from Africa, from Eurasia, and from the myriad islands around their coasts. The archaeological record of country after country tells the same sad story.
— Yuval Noah Harari
It's sad that people forget sometimes that there is a whole legitimate world of artists and actors out there that work their entire life, every day on perfecting their craft, but yet don't get any acknowledgement for their extraordinary commitment to their profession.
— Yolanda Hadid
On the 'Blacks & Browns' record, it's me and Sad Boy. He's a Hispanic artist, and we're talking about what we got going on with our peoples.
— YG
Most of the time, we keep looking outside and feeling sad about what others have. Those are mere excuses.
— Yami Gautam
It's an indication of how cynical our society has become that any kind of love story with a sad theme is automatically ridiculed as sentimental junk.
— Winona Ryder
A lot of country music is sad. I think most art comes out of poverty and hard times. It applies to music. Three chords and the truth - that's what a country song is. There is a lot of heartache in the world.
For I have learned to look on nature, not as in the hour of thoughtless youth, but hearing oftentimes the still, sad music of humanity.
— William Wordsworth
I hold the world but as the world, Gratiano; A stage where every man must play a part, And mine is a sad one.
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.
— William Peter Blatty
Absence from whom we love is worse than death, and frustrates hope severer than despair.
— William Cowper
I'm very artistic and creative, disorganised - ambitious, I would say, if that even makes sense. I'm definitely not the most mathematical person in the world; not scientific. I can't even work out a tip; it's really sad. But I've always thought, play up your strengths and let someone else handle your weaknesses. It's OK. Work together.
— Whitney Wolfe Herd
Some characters think more like me than others; some think more like my dad or someone else. It certainly is made up of my experiences, things I've heard, things I think are funny, things I think are sad. There's sort of a strange, blurry version of yourself in there.
— Watt Key
