About This Quote

Sad stories make good books is a common expression that means a sad tale can bring about a great story. For example, the story of someone who loses a loved one may be difficult for some people to read or listen to. However, if that person manages to survive and tell their story, the listener will have the opportunity to share in their pain and gain a better understanding of how such tragic circumstances can affect an individual's life.
