“The thing that I find genuinely depressing is if something is boring or just rubbish. I kind of find Charlie’s Angels 2 to be pretty depressing.
I’m not depressed at the end of watching an Ingmar Bergman film. Catcher in the Rye is incredibly sad but incredibly funny and I just really like it. There’s nothing worse than something that is emptily cheerful.”
I’ve never heard this put a better way. So much empty or insincere cheerfulness out there right now.

Gustave Doré
Paul Gustave Louis Christophe Doré (6 January 1832 – 23 January 1883) was a French artist, printmaker, illustrator and sculptor. Doré worked primarily with wood engraving. Doré was born in Strasbourg on 6 January 1832. At the age of fifteen Doré began his career working as a caricaturist for the French paper Le Journal pour rire, and subsequently went on to win commissions to depict scenes from books by Rabelais, Balzac, Milton and Dante. In 1853, Doré was asked to illustrate the works of Lord Byron.This commission was followed by additional work for British publishers, including a new illustrated English Bible. In 1856 he produced twelve folio-size illustrations of The Legend of The Wandering Jew for a short poem which Pierre-Jean de Ranger had derived from a novel of Eugène Sue of 1845. In the 1860s he illustrated a French edition of Cervantes’s Don Quixote, and his depictions of the knight and his squire, Sancho Panza, have become so famous that they have influenced subsequent readers, artists, and stage and film directors’ ideas of the physical “look” of the two characters. Doré also illustrated an oversized edition of Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Raven”, an endeavor that earned him 30,000 francs from publisher Harper & Brothers in 1883. Doré never married and, following the death of his father in 1849, he continued to live with his mother, illustrating books until his death in Paris following a short illness. The city’s Père Lachaise Cemetery contains his grave. | source | edit

Humans of New York really misses the mark sometimes. It’ll be a picture of some old woman who says “I’ve lived here for 40 years, in a storage closet. I work 10 jobs to afford it. I watched both my parents get murdered here. My mother’s last words as she lay dying were “Don’t ever leave this city. Even if you have to live in a storage closet.” I eat mostly dog food but sometimes when things get tough I eat cat food. But it’s all worth it because I really love the Chrysler building. Don’t feel sorry for me. I love cat food”.
It’s okay to leave the city.
