Crying proverbs

◆ Crying is all right in its way while it lasts. But you have to stop sooner or later, and then you still have to decide what to do.

- C.S. Lewis99

◆ Don't cry over someone who wouldn't cry over you.

- Lauren Conrad99

◆ ...you know that a good, long session of weeping can often make you feel better, even if your circumstances have not changed one bit.

- Lemony Snicket99

◆ Heaven knows we need never be ashamed of our tears, for they are rain upon the blinding dust of earth, overlying our hard hearts. I was better after I had cried, than before--more sorry, more aware of my own ingratitude, more gentle.

- Charles Dickens99

◆ When someone cries so hard that it hurts their throat, it is out of frustration or knowing that no matter what you can do or attempt to do can change the situation. When you feel like you need to cry, when you want to just get it out, relieve some of the pressure from the inside - that is true pain. Because no matter how hard you try or how bad you want to, you can't. That pain just stays in place. Then, if you are lucky, one small tear may escape from those eyes that water constantly. That one tear, that tiny, salty, droplet of moisture is a means of escape. Although it's just a small tear, it is the heaviest thing in the world. And it doesn't do a damn thing to fix anything.

- Chase Brooks99

◆ Don't be ashamed to weep; 'tis right to grieve. Tears are only water, and flowers, trees, and fruit cannot grow without water. But there must be sunlight also. A wounded heart will heal in time, and when it does, the memory and love of our lost ones is sealed inside to comfort us.

- Brian Jacques99

◆ We need never be ashamed of our tears.

- Charles Dickens99

◆ Do not apologize for crying. Without this emotion, we are only robots.

- Elizabeth Gilbert99

◆ The worst type of crying wasn't the kind everyone could see--the wailing on street corners, the tearing at clothes. No, the worst kind happened when your soul wept and no matter what you did, there was no way to comfort it. A section withered and became a scar on the part of your soul that survived. For people like me and Echo, our souls contained more scar tissue than life.

- Katie McGarry99

◆ I didn't want my picture taken because I was going to cry. I didn't know why I was going to cry, but I knew that if anybody spoke to me or looked at me too closely the tears would fly out of my eyes and the sobs would fly out of my throat and I'd cry for a week. I could feel the tears brimming and sloshing in me like water in a glass that is unsteady and too full.

- Sylvia Plath99

◆ Maybe that was why she couldn't cry, she realized, staring dry-eyed at the ceiling. Because what was the point in crying when there was no one there to comfort you? And what was worse, when you couldn't even comfort yourself?

- Cassandra Clare99

◆ To weep is to make less the depth of grief.

- William Shakespeare99

◆ Those who do not weep, do not see.

- Victor Hugo99

◆ Weeping is not the same thing as crying. It takes your whole body to weep, and when it's over, you feel like you don't have any bones left to hold you up.

- Sarah Ockler99

◆ I learn from my own daughter that you don't have to be awake to cry.

- Jodi Picoult99
