Melancholy

"I go to sleep alone, and wake up alone. I take walks. I work until I'm tired. I watch the wind play with the trash that's been under the snow all winter. Everything seems simple until you think about it. Why is love intensified by abscence?"

"I am my heart’s undertaker. Daily I go and retrieve its tattered remains, place them delicately into its little coffin, and bury it in the depths of my memory, only to have to do it all again tomorrow."

"There is a life and there is a death, and there are beauty and melancholy between."

"A tendancy to melancholy - let it be observed, is a misfortune, not a fault."

"Nothing thicker than a knife's blade separates happiness from melancholy."

"Melancholy were the sounds on a winter's night."
