Quotes About Sadness

Infeliz es aquel a quien sus recuerdos infantiles sólo traen miedo y tristeza.
~ H.P. Lovecraft
Hvis man ser rigtig bedrøvet ud på gaden i den store verden, så kommer tykke mænd straks løbende og vifter med checkhæfte og engagerer én til cirkus.

The happy life is not recalled as past, pure and simple, without further relevance for the present. Insofar as the happy life is remembered, it is part and parcel of the present and inspires our desires and expectations for the future.

You can't prepare for real pain. You just have to let it rip you apart.

~ Florence Griffith Joyner
With a track like 'White Christmas,' everybody has done that song in every format you can imagine, so I just looked at the chords at that particular song and what chords would make it work.
