“Nostalgia is a way of remembering people and places and things, and wishing things hadn't changed. It has a sweetness to it. Sadness is just--well--being sad.”
“For a moment, I thought of the word happy and it was a word that just, well, it felt like it was visiting me. I knew it wouldn’t last for very long and I’d be sad again and then it would be worse because it’s one thing to be sad and it’s another thing to be sad once you’ve been happy. Being sad after you’ve been happy is the worst thing in the world.”
“Nostalgia pierced me. I started to cry. I wasn't sad, but remembered happiness hurts.”
“The only thing worse than being sad is for others to know you are sad.”
“... sometimes good people [are] helpless... terrible things happen... to good people... there [are] sad endings as well as happy ones.”
“Don't dwell on things. Don't stay in one place too long. It was the only way to stay ahead of sadness.”
