“There's a lot of beauty to be found in sadness and melancholia. One of the things that you find time and time again - not just with music, but with literature - is that things that appear to be quite depressing on the surface can ironically be very uplifting and touching to other people.

“We are not lonely, because we chose to be alone.We are not lost, because we chose to disappear.”
