“Melancholy is the happiness of being sad.”
Victor Hugo
“No poetry lives which reflects only the cheerful emotions. Our sweetest songs are those which tell of saddest thought. We can bring harmony out of melancholy; we cannot banish melancholy from the world. And the religious utterances, which are the highest form of poetry, are bound by the same law. There is a deep sadness in the world.”
Leslie Stephen
“This was a characteroloical prelude, but it wasn’t chemical or somatic. It was the anatomy of melancholy, not the anatomy of his brain.”
Jeffrey Eugenides
“Melancholy is sadness that has taken on lightness.”
Italo Calvino
“Nothing thicker than a knife's blade separates happiness from melancholy.”
Virginia Woolf
