“I think the age of disappointment is coming much earlier, where an adult figure -- a parent, a teacher or something -- truly disappoints you for the first time, at a much earlier age. I think when I was young, it happened in my late teens. I think today it's happening when you're 8 or 9 or 10 years old. And I think it's everlasting.”
Kevin Williamson
“Life's disappointments are harder to take when you don't know any swear words.”
Calvin & Hobbes
“Disappointment is a sort of bankruptcy -- the bankruptcy of a soul that expends too much in hope and expectation.”
Eric Hoffer
“Disappointment to a noble soul is what cold water is to burning metal; it strengthens, tempers, intensifies, but never destroys it.”
Eliza Tabor
“Inside every cynical person, there is a disappointed idealist”
George Carlin
“I'm sorry to sayso but, sadly it's truethat bang-ups and hang-upscan happen to you”
Dr. Seuss
“Age does not diminish the extreme disappointment of having a scoop of ice cream fall from the cone.”
