“Tears are not always beneficial. They are comforting and healing when, having long swollen within the breast, they at last come flowing—at first with effort, then ever more easily, ever more sweetly; the speechless languor of melancholy is resolved by them. But there are also cold tears, tears that flow meagrely: the grief that has settled on the heart like a heavy and unmoving burden squeezes them from the heart drop by drop; they are joyless and bring no respite. Distress weeps with such tears, and whoever has not shed them has not yet been unhappy.”
― Ivan Sergeyevich Turgenev
