“You felt a deep sorrow, the kind of melancholy you feel when you're in a beautiful place and the sun is going down”

“Life is a slope. As long as you're going up you're always looking towards the top and you feel happy, but when you reach it, suddenly you can see the road going downhill and death at the end of it all. It's slow going up and quick going down.”

“When you feel in your gut what you are and then dynamically pursue it - don't back down and don't give up - then you're going to mystify a lot of folks.”

“When I'm with you, I feel a kind of calm I've never felt in my life. I'm tangled up in you and you're tangled up in me and it feels right. Like it was meant to be. I love you, Maddie, and I'm sorry it's taken me so long to say it to you again.”

“Melancholy: when we have sorrows without a name.”

“Sorrow too deep to tell, your majesty,
You order me to feel and tell once more.”
Infandum, regina, jubes<!--iubes?--> renovare dolorem.

“There are certain kinds of deaths that one should not be expected to re-live, certain kinds of connections that are so deep that when broken you feel the snap of the link inside you.”

“It's nice to know that people are paying attention to you on the other side of the ball, but it's also kind of sad because you feel like you're a man that's being hunted down by some vicious animal. I feel they're going to come after me and do whatever they can to shut down the run, and that makes a difference with me in going out and doing my job.”

“At that moment, beauty itself struck me as a kind of painful melancholy.”

“You're buying years of work, toil in the sun; you're buying a sorrow that can't talk.”
