Ella Wheeler Wilcox Quotes

I have amassed an enormous amount of songs about every particular condition of humankind - children's songs, marriage songs, death songs, love songs, epic songs, mystical songs, songs of leaving, songs of meeting, songs of wonder. I pretty much have got a song for every occasion.

We love and we feel and we try and we hope.

I still arrive, in order to laugh and to cry, to fear and to hope. The rhythm of my heart is the birth and death of all that is alive.

Admire, exult, despise, laugh, weep for here There is such matter for all feelings: Man! Thou pendulum betwixt a smile and tear.

In bed we laugh, in bed we cry, and born in bed, in bed we die; the near approach a bed may show of human bliss to human woe.

I find the reality of our emotional lives interesting.

I think the themes in my songs are very similar from the first album to the newest one. It's all about the human condition and how we are all trying to learn to live with each other and survive love and life.

Well the themes for me were and remain sex and love and grief and death - the things that make us and undo us, create and destroy, how we breed and disappear and the emotional context that surrounds these events.

Life is a very emotional experience.

People have hearts, they have kids, they get jobs, they get sick, they cry, they dance. They live, they love, and they die. And that matters.

You don't wake up one morning and say, 'Today is going to be a comedy day.' And the next day, 'Today's going to be a drama day.' Things happen in life that are fun and light, and things happen that are heavier. You just have to move your way through life, and I think 'BoJack' is a good reflection of that.

In this world, there is a kind of painful progress. Longing for what we've left behind, and dreaming ahead.

Sometimes you'll laugh. Sometimes you'll cry. Life never tells us, the when's or why's. When you've got friends, to wish you well. You'll find your point when. You will exhale.

All things are cause for either laughter or weeping.

We wept when we were born though all around us smiled; so shall we smile when we die while all around us weep.

What is art? Art grows from joy and sorrow, but mostly from sorrow. It grows from human lives.

Fundamentally, we are all in the same place: we're born, we live, and we're going to die. In between, we'll have joy and we'll have sadness.

If you laugh, you think, and you cry, that’s a full day.

Apart from Love, which is not a human emotion, of all the rest my last words would best read: It's all for the experience.

Everyone has experienced laughing at a funeral, and not even inappropriately. It could be a response to a moment of absurdity or some fond memory. We're human beings so we understand that laughter and crying aren't always disparate emotions.

We laugh and laugh. Then cry and cry- Then feebler laugh, Then die.

I have loved, cried, been mad with happiness. I have won and I have lost.

Some things were made to be felt

If you begin the day with a laugh, you may, nevertheless, end it with a sob and a sigh.
