Quotes from Jung, Longfellow and Chesterfield dot this page of quotes on sadness. If you're looking for a quote to place somewhere, this is your site! My favorite I saw on the search page was "Sadness does not inhere in things; it does not reach us from the world and through mere contemplation of the world. It is a product of our own thought. We create it out of whole cloth." by Emile Durkheim
