"Real sadness is such an all-encompassing intense thing……" — David Byrne
"Real sadness is such an all-encompassing intense thing that it takes you out of your humdrum existence. If you can still function, you want to show it while it's peaking. So when people tell you to cheer up, it's not always the best thing."
