Sad quotes

[DarknessWave]

This thread is for people who likes to look at sad quotes or relatable quotes. Everybody can share their own or something they found of the internet. I'll leave one to start:

"The word 'happiness' would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness."
- Carl Jung

 

[LoveroftheDark]

"Disqualified as a human being, I had now ceased utterly to be a human being."
- Dazai Osamu, No Longer Human

The meaning is solely personal, but I like to think it is about society rejecting outcasts, however there is still a part of me who relates to it due to my low self worth, also this is my favorite quote from his book, if you're feeling nihilistic I recommend you read it, it is a short and meaningful book.

 

[SVEN]

"Of all the things in life I've lost, I miss my mind the most."
Ozzy Osborne.

 

[Yonlux]

"God has died and His death was the life of the world." - Phillipp Mainländer

 

[MathConspiracy]

Be silent in that solitude,
Which is not loneliness—for then
The spirits of the dead who stood
In life before thee are again
In death around thee—and their will
Shall overshadow thee: be still.

– Edgar Allan Poe

XXX: Shake Hands, We shall Never be Friends

Shake hands, we shall never be friends, all's over;
I only vex you the more I try.
All's wrong that ever I've done or said,
And nought to help it in this dull head:
Shake hands, here's luck, good-bye.

But if you come to a road where danger
Or guilt or anguish or shame's to share,
Be good to the lad that loves you true
And the soul that was born to die for you,
And whistle and I'll be there.

Anything by E A Housman really. Gorgeous poetry

"I should have been a clown. I am always getting slapped. The slaps come from every direction, from the people I want to help, from those I want to love, for the big and little guys I am sorry for." ~ actress Carole Landis (she took her own life in 1948)

 

[Pluto]

 

[HereWeGo!]

"It's better to burn out, than to fade away."
- Neil Young.
That's a really classic quote originally from the Neil Young song - "Hey Hey, My My" and became worldly famous as it was used by Kurt Cobain (Nirvana front man) in his suicide note. This is one of my favorite non-Biblical quotes.

Life is like a shoe... eventually your soul wears thin and fails and its only you r bare foot touching the pavement...

S.holt

 

[OptingOutSmiling]

Made me think of Robin Williams: "Sometimes you can have a whole lifetime in a day and never notice that this is as beautiful as it gets."

" we forge the chains we wear in life "
- charles Dickens
