I find sadness and strife to be so much more interesting with an upbeat melody.

'Melancholy' is prettier than 'depression'; it connotes a kind of nocturnal grace. Makes one feel more innocently beleaguered.

I'm always drawn to melancholy personalities.

I'm not writing just about melancholy stuff anymore, I made a point to cover a wide range of emotions.

I prefer the gloominess to the sun. I don't know why.

I have a taste for a kind of melancholy and for being an absolute victim of love.

In such a diversity it was impossible I should be disposed to melancholy.

I like melancholy. I like to pretend that I'm alone in the world and I'm just sort of abandoned.

But with writers, there's nothing wrong with melancholy. It's an important color in writing.
