“Life may be a vale of tears, all right, but there are some folks who enjoy weeping, I reckon.”
“I reckon I'll be at the beck and call of folks with money all my life, but thank God I won't ever again have to be at the beck and call of every son of a bitch who's got two cents to buy a stamp.”
“The Vazdru do not weep.""Who weeps? Not I.""Every word spoken was a tear.”
“We live in a vale of tears...We can have all the dreams we like, but life is hard, implacable, sad.”
“You who weep for pleasures fled, While dragging on a life of care, All your woes will melt in air, If to god your tears are shed, You who Weap!”
“I will not say: do not weep; for not all tears are an evil.”
