Shed Quotes
The tears we shed, and the ones we don't.
These shed quotes mostly center on tears — the ones held back over time, and the ones shed quickly out of empathy for another person's troubles. One line adds a note of humility, joking self-deprecatingly about lacking any real cleverness. For more on emotional resilience, see Elbow quotes.
