It's really sad how many people believe in curses.
— Peyton Hillis
I am an optimist, unrepentant and militant. After all, in order not to be a fool an optimist must know how sad a place the world can be. It is only the pessimist who finds this out anew every day.
— Peter Ustinov
Since I began writing my new 'Bad Company' story, anyone who's connected with '2000 AD' has probably heard the sad news of the death of Brett Ewins, penciller and vital component of the original 'Bad Company' team.
— Peter Milligan
The picture of Prince Charles meeting Gerry Adams is inexpressibly sad.
— Peter Hitchens
It's sad when people break up.
— Pete Townshend
Things that I feel really sad about, I talk about. That way, if it's funny, it doesn't hurt anymore.
— Pete Davidson
I've had people tell me that I should just be sad and not joke around on Twitter, but they don't understand that joking and being deeply sad are very close to each other. I'll have a horrible memory that I find hysterical one day, and the next day I'll cry about it.
— Perfume Genius
Our sweetest songs are those that tell of saddest thought.
— Percy Bysshe Shelley
I was trying to heal wounds all the time, whether it meant having affairs or having attitude. I didn't want to show how sad I was.
— Peggy Lipton
People think it's terribly sad to spend Christmas alone, but it's no sadder, really, than spending any other day alone, is it?
— Paula Hawkins
There are so many things in life that make you sad, you have to be happy.
— Paul Pogba
Wearing a tuxedo isn't as simple as it sounds. I've been to a lot of award shows in Hollywood over the years and have seen some pretty sad tuxes. It's surprisingly easy to go off the rails.
— Paul Feig
But now Americans, they felt a sense of peace and protection because they've been separated by so many thousands of miles of ocean. And you know, the fact that it's come to the U.S. like this is so sad, and yet you know, what can you do? It's here.
— Patty Hearst
It's occurred to me I need to laugh at myself more, and that I don't need to be some sad folk singer all the time. I don't want to be the queen of pain.
— Patty Griffin
I'm so grounded, it's sad.
— Patti LaBelle
The sad fact is that it would be fair to say that United is a generic, bureaucratic, tired company. A sort of DMV in the sky. No real culture. No real strategy. No real expectations for employees or customers. All of which is a shame.
— Patrick Lencioni
I don't know if my work is a concerted effort to make kids sad!
— Patricia Polacco
Women's emotions are constantly labeled. Any slight deviation from 'pleasantness,' and we are labeled as hysterical. When we are angry, sad, depressed, or manic, we are immediately seen as unfeminine or ugly or weak.
— Petra Collins
Well, darkness with humor... I'm not an extremely suicidal or sad person.
— Peter Steele
The sad fact is that horrendous human conflict is nothing new.
— Peter Maurer
The sad truth is that mass migration, whatever the colour of the skins of those involved, upsets and worries indigenous people, especially the poorest.
Even modern English people are imperious, superior, ridden by class. All of the hypocrisy and the difficulties that are endemic in being British also make it an incredibly fertile place culturally. A brilliant place to live. Sad but true.
Many things have been said about what happened, but I don't know either. Maybe someday. One thing I'm sure of is that all the things that have happened to me, good and bad, happy and sad, have made me what I am today.
— Pete Best
I was a little boy singing sad songs, about 9 or 10 years old in the woods. I listened to my voice coming back to me. It was as high as you could go. I dreamed of being famous as a singer when I was on those cotton fields. I wanted to see the world and meet people.
— Percy Sledge
My three seasons in Villarreal have been magnificent, and I'm sad to leave.
— Pepe Reina

— Pauline Phillips
The books are funny and sad, and that's what people respond to.
— Paula Danziger
I think it's bad for fellas when they lose their mothers. Mine was such a character. Oh it was sad, really sad. And, with her gone, the family home was gone, so what was left of any roots I had were completely dug up.
— Paul O'Grady
There's so much to argue about. That was the goal with 'Really Really.' Somebody asked me once, 'How should I feel when I leave?' and I said, 'Hopefully, you're talkative.' I don't really care if you're happy or sad or loved it or hated it or hate me. The goal is that you have something to say, that you have a response.
— Paul Downs Colaizzo
I don't fight my ability to sing sad songs: it's what I am good at, so I must be built for that.
I've had some pretty good arguments with people, but I've never regretted it. I've had people come up where it's all emotion and no fact. That's always sad.
— Patton Oswalt
We can feel sad, hurt, demoralized. But we can't give up.
— Patrisse Cullors
Maher Arar's case stands as a sad example of how we have been too willing to sacrifice our core principles to overarching government power in the name of security, when doing so only undermines the principles we stand for and makes us less safe.
— Patrick Leahy
My son jokes with me that he thinks I Google the word 'sad' to come up with book ideas.
— Patricia McCormick
I was very depressed at a young age and felt like I didn't have agency towards that. Being 'female' meant I couldn't be that - I couldn't be angry, loud, sullen. Being sad meant I was weak.
I don't know what to say to that, but I have to agree with Johnny that, yeah, we do touch upon things that most men would rather not admit: That we feel pain, we cry, get sad and sometimes don't deal well with disappointment.
The rise of the iPod meant that digital music became the norm, It's sad, but you can still find the real stuff out there if you look for it!
— Peter Hook
My formative years were all shaped by a mother who was very sad and had a drinking problem, while my father was lonely and angry. He was an Episcopal priest and raised four kids on his own.
— Peter Hedges
I can't speak for everybody. But I will say that for me, when I've been depressed - and I get depressed. I have irrational bouts of anxiety. I have random FedEx deliveries of despondency. Just like, 'I didn't order this. Oh, well, keep the PJs on, cancel everything you're doing today. It's time to take a sad shower.'
— Pete Holmes
I think the best mood for writing is a heavy feeling that's a little bit removed from you. Sometimes I feel very self-indulgent and bratty and ungrateful, and no good music comes out of that. But sometimes I can be really sad or have an excess of feeling yet somehow be able to see the big picture more.
We look before and after, And pine for what is not; Our sincerest laughter With some pain is fraught; Our sweetest songs are those that tell of saddest thought.
I think it is very sad that 'sitcom' has become a pejorative term.
— Penelope Keith
When you have used your beauty to get around, it's like having extra cash in your back pocket. I was so used to walking down the street and having the young guys passing by at least give me a flicker of a look. But once you're over 40, you become invisible. You're a brick in the building, and it's sad.
— Paulina Porizkova
The first time I retired, only Sir Alex Ferguson and I knew that the last league game of the 2010-11 season against Blackpool was to be my final game at Old Trafford. I was a little bit sad, but I am not one for tears. The end of a career comes to us all, and there is not a lot you can do about that.
— Paul Scholes
Even when I begin with a situation that's basically funny or sad, I like to keep poking around in it. I like to get into the middle of a relationship, to explore the subtle places.
— Paul Mazursky
Homeless people really upset me when I was little. A lot of kids have this reaction, but I would get really worried or sad or concerned or cry.
— Paul Dano
I was rejected for couple of adverts for sounding too sad. One was for Diet Coke, but it's a good thing it didn't happen because it probably would have been a big blight on my soul. It also happened with a fabric softener called Downy, and I guess the way I sang 'Only Downy' made people weep.
I think men are mainly unfaithful because as they get older, they feel the urge to prove to themselves that they are still attractive. They need proof from outside the marriage. It's really sad. It's all about them. It's not about their wives at all.
— Pattie Boyd
Whenever the lion fish in the fish tank in the captain's ready room died it was always a sad moment.
— Patrick Stewart
I don't know if my work is a concerted effort to make kids sad! But life and death go hand in hand. It's our condition as human beings.
