I actually think sadness and darkness can be very beautiful and healing.

The sadness of the women's movement is that they don't allow the necessity of love. See I don't personally trust any revolution where love is not allowed.

Bad things do happen how I respond to them defines my character and the quality of my life. I can choose to sit in perpetual sadness immobilized by the gravity of my loss or I can choose to rise from the pain and treasure the most precious gift I have - life itself.

Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. It is far better take things as they come along with patience and equanimity.

I was a product of a divorced family and I used humor as a weapon to combat sadness. I used comedy to make my mother laugh in light of the darkness that she faced and to me it became a very powerful tool at a very young age at six. I saw how therapeutic it could be.

To me sadness and humor aren't disrelated and humor is the best tool I've had against the sadness in my life.

The rejection that we all take and the sadness and the aggravation and the loss of jobs and all of the things that we live through in our lives without a sense of humor I don't know how people make it.

If my world were to cave in tomorrow I would look back on all the pleasures excitements and worthwhilenesses I have been lucky enough to have had. Not the sadness not my miscarriages or my father leaving home but the joy of everything else. It will have been enough.

It is the great sadness of our species that we have not found a way to eliminate the conflict and to eliminate violence as a device to resolve our conflicts throughout the entire history of the human race.

Good humor is the health of the soul sadness is its poison.
