Are all men in disguise except those crying?
Encounter at a Greyhound Bus Station.
Dannie Abse
It is a rare mind indeed that can render the hitherto non-existent blindingly obvious. The cry I could have thought of that
is a very popular and misleading one, for the fact is that they didn't, and a very significant and revealing fact it is too.
Douglas Adams
I am a waning bird encased in a glass sphere; I cannot see my prison, and my cries no one can hear.
An Owl on the Moon: A Journal from the Edge of Darkness
Craig Froman
Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone
can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid
person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did
something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you
out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like maybe we should be just friends
turns into a glass splinter working its way into
your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love.
The Kindly Ones
Neil Gaiman
My love, you are driving the entire world mad. The nightingales are committing suicide one by one out of jealousy of
your voice. The roses took one glance at your beauty and folded themselves from shame. The trees now only whisper your name
and the sky hasn't stopped crying since you looked up. Have pity on us, my love. We have already broken all the mirrors and
glass out of fear that you will forget us and fall in love with yourself once you see what we all cannot stop seeing.
Kamand Kojouri
Acting isn't always about the amount of talent you have, or your ability to cry on command. The point
is, how well can you take direction? How well can you put aside your own ideas or ego and listen to the ideas
of the director and the people above you, while not giving up the passion and drive of that character?
Shannon Purser
You cry and you scream and you stomp your feet and you shout. You say, You know what? I'm giving up, I don't
care.
And then you go to bed and you wake up and it's a brand new day, and you pick yourself back up again.
Nicole Scherzinger
Crying is almost a ritual that male politicians must do to prove they are compassionate, but women are supposed to wear iron britches.
Pat Schroeder
Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.
Dr. Seuss
When we are born, we cry that we
are come
To this great stage of fools:

And kiss again with tears!

an infantile cry. From the beginning of time we have seen that. To murder the thinker does not murder the thought.
