“When a stargirl cries, she sheds not tears but light.”

“Tears shed for self are tears of weakness, but tears shed for others are a sign of strength.”

“She would not shed a tear, she would not waste the rest of her years simmering in the maggot broth of memory.”

“Shed no tear! O shed no tear!
The flower will bloom another year.”

“Then she cried without tears, which is said to hurt even more like dry labor.”

“If you shed tears when you miss the sun, you also miss the stars.”

“Everything was made bright by her. She was the smile that shed light all around her.”

“Whenever she felt like crying, she would instead become angry—at someone else or at herself—which meant that it was rare for her to shed tears.”

“I forgive the tears I was made to shed”

“I bet there's a tear in your eye wherever you're watching this. There's nothing wrong with tears; tears are often shed in joy.”
