“The important thing in this life is to link your sadness to the sadness of others.”
“It is painful to break the sad links to the past”
“When your sad--like really sad--you only want to be with other people who are sad.”
“The only thing worse than being sad is for others to know you are sad.”
“I am not sad, he would repeat to himself over and over, I am not sad. As if he might one day convince himself. Or fool himself. Or convince others -- The only thing worse than being sad is for others to know that you are sad.”
“Are you - are you sad?" - No. "But your - your songs are sad." - My songs are of time and distance. The sadness is in you. Watch my arms. There is only the dance. These things you treasure are shells.”
