When we lose one we love our bitterest tears are called forth by the memory of hours when we loved not enough.

Tears of joy are like the summer rain drops pierced by sunbeams.

Tears are often the telescope by which men see far into heaven.

Men must live and create. Live to the point of tears.

The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing that stands in the way. Some see nature all ridicule and deformity... and some scarce see nature at all. But to the eyes of the man of imagination nature is imagination itself.

I hope you will go out and let stories happen to you and that you will work them water them with your blood and tears and you laughter till they bloom till you yourself burst into bloom.

When my son was born and after a day of lying-in I was told that I could leave the hospital and take him home I burst into tears. It wasn't the emotion of the moment: it was shock and horror.

I think what is British about me is my feelings and awareness of others and their situations. English people are always known to be well mannered and cold but we are not cold - we don't interfere in your situation. If we are heartbroken we don't scream in your face with tears - we go home and cry on our own.

There is little for the great part of the history of the world except the bitter tears of pity and the hot tears of wrath.

Life is full of happiness and tears be strong and have faith.
