The Profundity of Sadness

I don't feel too well lately, both physically and emotionally. Nothing to it though, just the periodic ailment I get once in awhile. I found these quotations quite profound nonetheless. 

Every man has his secret sorrows which the world knows not; and often times we call a man cold when he is only sad.

~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

You cannot protect yourself from sadness without protecting yourself from happiness. 

~ Jonathan Safran Foer

The longer and more carefully we look at a funny story, the sadder it becomes.

~ Nikolai Gogol

Nothing can cure the soul but the senses, just as nothing can cure the senses but the soul.

~ Oscar Wilde

There are moments when I wish I could roll back the clock and take all the sadness away, but I have the feeling that if I did, the joy would be gone as well.

~ Nicholas Sparks

I do not believe anyone can be perfectly well, who has a brain and a heart

~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
