“I've made it this far without crying a single tear and I'd sure hate to break down here.”

“God help me keep me moving somehowDon't let me start wishing I was with him nowI've made it this far without crying a single tearI'd sure hate to break down here”

“I've written this to keep from crying. But I am crying, only the tears won't come.”

“I'm sure those are not the right words," said poor Alice, and her eyes filled with tears again as she went on, "I must be Mabel after all, and I shall have to go and live in that poky little house, and have next to no toys to play with, and oh, ever so many lessons to learn! No, I've made up my mind about it: if I'm Mabel, I'll stay down here! It'll be no use their putting their heads down and saying 'Come up again, dear!' I shall only look up and say 'Who Am I, then? Tell me that first, and then if I like being that person, I'll come up: if not, I'll stay down here till I'm somebody else' - but oh dear!" Cried Alice, with a sudden burst of tears, " I do wish they would put their heads down! I am so very tired of being all alone here!”

“And I got out of there without punching anyone, kicking anyone, or breaking down in tears. Some days the small victories are all you achieve.”

“Cry freely and let your tears fall for a life without tears is like a life without heartache weaking and painless”
