It sounds so nerdy and pathetic, but what I always do on Sunday afternoon is bring my inbox down to zero, which is so sad. But e-mail has become like homework for adults. I’ll have 141 messages from people who will be offended if I don’t write back. – Mike Birbiglia
I remember a time when all my fans were crying and sad and going through hell. Now, we’re trying to uplift each other and accept ourselves for who we are, even if nobody else does. – Mary J. Blige
The 2012 presidential campaign’s turn away from the classic, straight-up, American election – where the candidate who gets the most votes nationwide wins – is another sad reminder of the extreme political polarization distorting today’s politics. No one talks about a 50-state strategy for winning the presidency these days. – Juan Williams
Nothing gets on other people’s nerves at the office more than a whistler. And the sad part is, these whistlers don’t know they’re doing it. Someone should, tactfully, tell the whistler how much it disrupts the office environment. – Letitia Baldrige
It is sad that the Republican leadership is not as interested as they say they are in protecting the institution of marriage as they are in waging a campaign to divide and distract the American people from the real issues that need to be addressed. – Kendrick Meek
Ten years ago, I still feared loss enough to abandon myself in order to keep things stable. I’d smile when I was sad, pretend to like people who appalled me. What I now know is that losses aren’t cataclysmic if they teach the heart and soul their natural cycle of breaking and healing. – Martha Beck
My son jokes with me that he thinks I Google the word ‘sad’ to come up with book ideas. – Patricia McCormick
Many Russia experts note the deep and sad capacity of the Russian people for suffering. – Roger Altman

I was a little boy singing sad songs, about 9 or 10 years old in the woods. I listened to my voice coming back to me. It was as high as you could go. I dreamed of being famous as a singer when I was on those cotton fields. I wanted to see the world and meet people. – Percy Sledge
When I was leaving I kind of felt a little bit sad, because I made some friends down in skid row. – Pras Michel

Home will always be Northern Ireland but my schedule means for the next few years I won’t be there as much. I can’t do the same things that I did a year ago. That is I’m something conscious of, but I’m not sad about it. It’s fine. – Rory McIlroy
I love music and musicians. And seeing great artists dropped from labels was really frustrating and sad to me. – Rosanna Arquette
